Wow! Thanks to everyone who replied! I really appreciate the support! You all have been wonderful! Here's an update: two of my chicks hatched yesterday, and when they did they rolled all of the other eggs around, including Bruce. So now he's on his side. Anyway, I was looking this morning...

Great news!! Both chicks hatched and are doing fine! They're are still wet and in the incubator! I have one black one and one yellow one. When I got there, both of them were laying down and resting. I started talking to them, and the black one sat up but the yellow one jumped up and was...

One more question - how long can the babies stay in the incubator once they dry? I'm worried these will be dried and need to come out before the others hatch!

Hi! I posted at the geese forum as well because I have two goose eggs in my incubator. Today is day 20 and I have had two eggs with cracks in them. One egg has a good little hole and he was still working on that about ten minutes ago and peeping like crazy! He is precious! This morning...

I have stopped turning the goose egg and I added a bowl with a little water just in case he was ready to hatch. I don't think he's dead because he moved yesterday and this morning when I talked to him. But I do have the concerns that you mentioned - I don't want to open the incubator, but I'm...

Hi! I am a Kindergarten teacher and we are hatching eggs in our classroom (this is my first time doing it)! I have 16 chicken eggs and 2 goose eggs. I got the eggs from a friend of mine who raises them, and when I put my goose eggs in the incubator a hen had already been sitting on them for a...
