His dad is a mixed breed I hatched last year and his mom is an Easter egger. I only incubated the blue eggs this year. Here is a group shot of the possible parents lol
Sorry i forgot to update this post. So I wrapped a wet paper towel around the egg and made the opening bigger. I chiped the shell all the way around and pulled the membrane away from the chick. Once i did this she managed to get free. Im leaving her in incubator to gain strength and then will...
Yea i did removed some of the membrane and the chick is moving more now. I think i did enough to where she can bust out in a few hours. I will keep checking on her and if need be i will remove some more
So I have a late hatcher, day 25, and she has pipped a decent little hole, however, its been over a day and a half and nothing has progressed. I bumped up the humidity, wrapped the egg in a wet cloth, and picked away some of the shell to give her more space. It looks like the membrane might have...

I have one egg that has pipped but I think it might be stuck. I have bumped up the humidity to hopefully assist the chick, but I'm not sure if it will make it.
6/15 of my gals have hatched so far. Its day 22 and i have another chick that has pipped, hopefully i get some late hatches to increase my hatch rate lol
So i keep seeing conflicting articles on what the appropriate humidity should be for the last 3 days of incubation. Some say between 70 and 80, some say the 60's. Anyhow's my current humidity is 65 and i have two chicks that have pipped through. Should i raise it to around 70 or just keep it in...
The pics aren't the best and im assuming the darker ones i cant see through are good to go. Here are my guesses
Egg 1 Quitter
Egg 2 Quitter
Egg 3 Quitter
Egg 4 OK?
Egg 5 Good
Egg 6 Good
Egg 7 Good
Egg 8
Egg 9 Good?
Egg 10 Quitter
Egg 11 Quitter
Egg 12 Quitter
Egg 13 Good
Egg 14...
So i hatched 3 chicks on August 11th and i have had them in the main coop, but separated from the rest, for about 3 weeks. When would be good time to let them try to integrate with older hens?
