    August 2021 Hatch-A-Long

    My silverrud´s egg looked exactly the same at day 11 and i am hesitant as well. Today I think the spot grew? I´m keeping it despite thinking its a quitter 99%. Never had an egg explode, though...

    August 2021 Hatch-A-Long

    Just wanted to say hi- I have 8 Silverrud Bla eggs in my incubator on day 11, just candled them, 6 look good, 2 probably not, one looks like a big blood ring, one just has a big black spot without veins. As I´m not the expert candler i´ll check again tomorrow. I thought our easter hatch would...

    911- assisted hatching help needed!

    So- more info: I tried to feel along the membrane to establish where the beak is. And I´m not sure, the white stuff on top felt a little different. I poked the membrane next to the right white stuff on top with sterilized scissors. It started to bleed a very small amount and stopped to applied...

    911- assisted hatching help needed!

    Thanks so much for your reply- I had the feeling the breathing is very very shallow, it took me some time staring at it to even realize its not dead. And there seems to be so much liquid in the egg- normal?

    911- assisted hatching help needed!

    Dear BYC members, Its the beginning of day 23, all chicks hatched healthy and I thought this one was DIS. No chirping, no movement for days, no pip. I candled it, no movement as well. I made a safety hole to check its safe to dispose, and saw the chick making very shallow breathing noises...

    MARCH 2021 HATCH-A-LONG 🌷🌸🌼

    Just had to share- we hatched our first chicks last August, and I put their (pretty late) first eggs straight in the incubator- two hatched today, one pip!! Could not be more excited, I was initially expecting them to be clear. Did not monitor the humidity because my govee battery died. Hens...

    They are so cute Thebanjam! I´m picking up some hatching eggs of Silverrud blues next week and can´t wait! My first egg went to lockdown today, its three days ahead of the 3 others.

    🍃August Hatch-a-Long🍃

    I just wanted to say Hi- I have our very first eggs in the incubator on day 7- could not be more excited! I really wanted to have some Plymouth Rocks- hard to get here in Europe, so I had them shipped, only 2h away but they look pretty shaken. Airbubbles are not that big, but rolling, of 4 eggs...

    First chicks for our new (to-be) homestead!

    Hi! I have been reading this forum for quite some time- we are in Europe and trying to start our first homestead! When the pandemic hit I was anxious to get it started, and found a lot of comfort reading about chickens here :-) So with our first eggs in the incubator I really need someone to...
