🤣- delightful isn’t it. Mine has been in the incubator for 17 days (day before lockdown!!) I only just touched it and it covered me!!! The stench in the house has lasted hours and I have used a whole can of air freshener!!

Thanks will do that. X

Hi all- just had my first incubator egg explode! I had removed the tray of eggs to add water to the Brinsea incubator when I noticed a little liquid on one egg..... I went to pick it up and it covered me and a few of the eggs! My question is do I need to do anything other than clean the gunk off...

Thank you - I will definitely keep an eye on this chick. X

Hi all- we are currently on day 22 and have just had our 1st chick hatch. The umbilical has just come away from chick (30mins post hatch) but I have noticed where the vent is it has a blood sac. Do I need to do anything??

Thank you will try that tonight so it can dry off and fluff up while still in the incubator. X

Hi- had a chick which failed to zip and after 5 hrs (my fault as humidity was low) I intervened and broke the rest of the shell. Baby chick was stuck to the inside of the egg- so glad I did help them out - but now it still looks wet even though many hours have passed. Do I give this chick a...

Thank you to both of you- it does now look like waste from another egg and not from that egg. I do have another egg that pipped ages ago but even though I can see it through the crack has lost energy to finish the job. Also my water reservoirs seem nearly empty - do I fill them up or wait till...

Currently hatching Maran chicks-on day 22. We have 2 hatched and another 3 pipping. my question is one of the eggs has a crack/pip on the pointy end of the shell with what looks like scrambled egg on it. It does have a crack further away from this crack but due to the newborns bashing about in...

Thank you- will move them out if they get too rowdy!!

Hi everyone- I’m a 1st timer with hatching in an incubator and we are on day 22 with 2 eggs hatched. Another couple of the eggs have pipped and others nothing yet. The 2 newborns are quite big and keep bashing about and knocking all the eggs about. Will this harm the others?? And do you remove...

Thank you.

Thank you- will do. X

Hi- we are currently in lockdown on day 20 of hatching Maran chicks. My question is I filled both water channels in my Brinsea 20 octagon eco incubator prior to lockdown but on looking through the plastic it looks like the water has nearly evaporated. Should I open the lid to refill the water...

Thank you for your responses- day 9 tomorrow so we will see how many are fertile. 🤞we have a good batch.

Hi all- I’m new to hatching chicks in an incubator as my last hatch (which was a few years ago) was with a broody hen in a cage in my dining room!!! I have purchased a Brinsea 20 octagon eco and currently have 24 Marian eggs in. my question is I’m on day 8 and the last 2 nights it has been...
