Hello! My broody hen (duck) is sitting on a clutch, however I had to bring in a few due to the recent freeze Texas had. I have one in the incubator thats been thriving. I’m not sure the exact day of incubation it’s on since it started under my hen. Not sure what’s going on now - The air cell...

When and how can I tell the gender of these chick crosses: WTB roo x Maran hen chicks or WTB roo x Barred Rock hen chicks? 🤨 I have 11 chicks of these crosses! TIA!

Our power just went out because a transformer nearby blew up. On day 20 - temp is now down 91.6 with humidity 70°. Should I put blankets on the incubator? I’m so worried to have gotten this far & have this happen! They said power will be restored in a couple hours. Anything i can do?

On day 14 for 8 silkie eggs and some look way more developed than others, any experience with this? I removed the turner today since some eggs look like day 18. Should I increase humidity even though some are less developed? I would hate for the more developed ones to be shrink wrapped or not be...

Here’s a video of my silkie eggs on day 7. I am not familiar with what a detached air cell looks like, so my question is does that block of shade towards pointy end look like one? Or does this look normal?

I've never incubated chicken eggs, and somewhere between day 1 and day 14 I confused myself (use to incubating emu eggs) and haven't noticed the temp is at 95 degrees. Candled today and all are still moving and alive. Should I adjust temp gradually or keep where it's at?

So I recently saw a Facebook post about someone who purchased these store bought eggs - Happy Egg Heritage Breed, let them rest to room temperature & successfully hatched a chick. These eggs are from Copper Marans & Speckled Legbars so fingers crossed! I wanted to put this to the test & finally...

Yesterday one of my emu eggs was rocking and rolling, wiggling like crazy. I last checked on it around 10ish pm and went to bed. Woke up this morning to do a wiggle test and it hasn't wiggled in 10 hours now. Is it normal for them to stop wiggling right before hatch? I'm worried I lost it overnight.
