Hello,
This is my first hatch. I'm hatching 5 Silkie chicken eggs. Only one chick has hatched. I have some others rolling around and pipping but this lil one seems so lonely. Should I take it out?
I have 5 silkie eggs in the bator and one has hatched. No others have pipped or anything. Today is day 21! Do I leave it in there and wait on others or take it out and put it in brooder? Is there a chance others will still hatch.
First timer incubating. I went into lockdown this morning and added water before we left. When I came back home the hygrometer read 77% humidity. Is this ok or do I need to lower it? In order to lower it I would have to remove the eggs to remove some water.
I just candled my eggs and had 4 that didn’t look like the rest. 2 only showed the yolk and the other 2 I assume is the “blood ring”. Can anyone tell me if these need to be taken out or if I should wait.
Hello all!
My husband and I decided we wanted to get a few chickens for the backyard to give us some yummy fresh eggs. Well, somehow that has turned into me getting eggs to hatch myself!
I bought 10 silkie eggs from a local farm in my town. I made my own incubator following some posts on here...
