Pictures of your baby pleeease!! I'm on day 52 with 9 eggs... SO close!

Yes, These are friends of mine. It's terrible. They lost everything!!

I wouldn't. I would add the first batch to your flock (if you have existing adult birds) when they are about the same size as your adults. Then do the same with the Marans when they're the same size. IF these are your first birds, put them together when they are all the same size. If you put...

This is my experience also.

Well, day 32 and 3 of them gave me wiggles today

You're so close!

No lockdown, no change in humidity. Keep it between 30-35% ... any higher and they can potentially drown in their shell. They need lots of air circulation. Keep all of your vents open. As far as turning goes, some people stop turning, some wait until they crack. It will vary greatly depending...

I was thinking Split Feather Farm. We have chickens and emu. Fun fact, emu are the only bird that have 2 feathers per quill, hence 'split feather'.

Welcome. There are so many experienced people here. Your little babies look content :jumpy

I've never tried it, but I've read that you can blow out a chicken egg and fill it with mustard and then when they offender brakes into it to eat it, it turns them off of their bad habit.

Do any of you have a name for your farm? I was wondering if anyone else has thought of any fun names. Not that it's even necessary... just fun maybe?

I have 3 yearlings that have not been DNA tested yet... tests have been ordered. Anyone who has mature adults, have you noticed any trends with their tail size? I have 2 with short sparse tails and one with a long full tail. Does that mean anything? Or am I grasping at straws? lol See pictures...

My TSC can't seem to figure this out. I've tried to get them to order for me. Next time you go in, would you find out how much are they charging you per bag? My local feed store charges me $27/bag. Still cheaper than direct from Mazuri, but expensive still.

GAHHHH!!!!! So exciting! I can't wait to see what happens! Why do these dinosaurs take almost 2 month?!?!?! It's so stressful lol

I certainly could.

Humidity is at 30% now. Right where it's supposed to be Fingers crossed. We will see where we're at next Sunday. I'll just weigh once a week. If I do it more, I'll drive myself crazy!

Today is day 8. I just moved them to the cabinet yesterday. The incubator I was using got hot spots so I was using a forehead thermometer to check each egg. I would rotate the eggs around to different places in the incubator so that hopefully none were cooked. The humidity was between 40-50%...

(1) I grew up with chickens around all my life. (2) I now have 28 laying hens and 8 pullets. (3) I have Americaunas, Welsummers, Cochin, Golden sex link, Barnevelder, Wyandotte, Barred Rock, Black copper marans, and some mutt chickens (4) I found out about BackYardChickens.com from facebook...

I started 9 emu eggs in a little giant foam incubator. They spent a week in there before my cabinet incubator arrived. The temps and humidity were all over the place. I calculated the desired weight loss per week for each egg based on a 15% total weight loss over 55 days. None of my eggs met the...
