    Buy Incubator, help?

    I believe it. You wouldn’t believe how many people recommend them in a fb group I’m apart of. They recommend and swear by it. I’m happy with my nurture right.

    Buy Incubator, help?

    I understand. I cannot remember the name of one I think it’s joenel or magicfly or something along those lines? I think the base and top are a kind of cloudy clear?

    Buy Incubator, help?

    I agree with @featheredplanets the Chinese incubators are not worth what they charge. I made the mistake and purchased one as my sons first incubator . It was a nightmare. If someone offered us another one for free I wouldn’t take it. I boxed it up and it’s collecting dust. We went out and...

    Day 23 - opened egg, live chick, no air cell

    No air cell and malpositioned are usually signs of humidity to high on days 1-18. I’m so sorry for your losses.

    Day 23 - opened egg, live chick, no air cell

    I used these guides to fully assist two malpositioned chicks a month in a half ago. Follow it to a T and you should do fine. I’ve never heard of no aircell. That is crazy. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/...

    Incubation failure

    If it’s just yolk and albumen it could of possibly been infertile. Infertility could be young chickens, to many hens per roo ratio. I had one roo to three hens and out of 6 eggs 4 were fertile. So every egg laid is not guaranteed to be fertile. If you see black spots and it’s sloshy in it...

    Incubation failure

    Marans eggs are sometimes hard to see and also take longer to hatch due to their thicker shells. Some marans can take up to 24 days to hatch. I have even seen a day 25. The bullseye disappears once it has started to incubate. If you want to incubate marans I definitely recommend lower humidity...

    Chick using siblings like a soccer ball....

    Lol. Go pepper! Lol. Those babies can and do help each other hatch. Either it be by sound or by movement. Hatching can be so stressful. Lol. Well I hope your babies are hens so you get to keep them. Post pics after they are nice and fluffy. Would love to see them. :). This is my last hatch...

    Chick using siblings like a soccer ball....

    If it was me and it’s been 24 hours I would. I would candle it. Draw my aircell line and zip for it along that line. Here are 2 great articles to read that can help you make that decision and how to do it. I use coconut oil to moisten membrane. If the room is dark your husband can use his cell...

    Incubation failure

    Ok so no rookie mistakes awesome! :). I would definitely check the thermometer then. I agree with @Rose Quartz I’m shocked there wasn’t a blood ring either. Did you see anything at all on day 10?

    Chick using siblings like a soccer ball....

    It should of lifted some of the pipped shell pieces off by now. When you get home and if it has still only pipped or even unzipped I’d check the membrane color. If it’s brown or yellowish brown I would bet it could be shrink wrapped. Here is a pic of one of my babies that ended up shrieked wrap...

    Chick using siblings like a soccer ball....

    I usually intervene at 24 hours. If you have had humidity issues or your humidity was high the chick could be malpositioned. I have waited the 24 hours. Zipped for them and waited an hour. Removed the top and waited about 30 mins. Removed more shell and waited another 30 min. So in all it was...

    Incubation failure

    Humidity would not be an issue with the egg failure. My guess would be temp. Defiantly buy another thermometer to check your machine. Another reason could be did you over handle your eggs while incubating? Over handling can cause early embryo deaths. Did you wash your hands before handling the...
