    help chick out of shell? WITH PIC

    I have tried to be patient. I tried to peel some of the shell back at the large end. I can see she has pipped out of the membrane. The membrane still looks like it has tiny blood vessels in it. I cant tell if the yolk has been absorbed yet. I see what you mean about shrink wrapped. I tried...

    Delawares as Packing peanuts?

    I could be wrong about Ideal, but most hatcheries when you order ask if you do or dont want extras. If you ask not to have any they will not send extras. sometimes it is in the small print. ....but it is disclosed.

    still air incubating

    I have had excellent hatches with my lg. 1. add a piece of window weatherstipping around the joint where the top sits on the bottom. your temps will be much more stable and the flux in the room will not matter. 2. I added a computer fan(blowing upward) where the factory fan is designed to sit...

    did anyone else put eggs in there incubator today

    I dont blame you. I helped my last one out. Pipped, did nothing for 24 hours, since he was last I did the zipping. After I did it I wished I had not, because there was blood and vessels in the shell. I had to seperate him from the rest in the bator, and by the next day he was ok. ( I left...

    those water heater thermostats . . .

    I have used both, and it is a suitable short-term substitute and does work. I got it down to a range of 99-101, and the wiggler even better. Anyone that wants to have a good hatch, shouldnt waist their efforts. Its worth 15 dollars more to get a wafer. Once I used the wafer, the temps stay...

    did anyone else put eggs in there incubator today

    Awesome, I see you were up late too. I only slept 4 hours hatch night. I had the same thing, only I had 3 chicks hatch right away, and they were rolling the others around. They all had pipped, so I left them alone and the all hatched after being tossed around. good luck with many...

    did anyone else put eggs in there incubator today
