    Hatching is addictive....

    I went through my first poultry hatch (shipped eggs). I got 50% hatched and I had tossed a few out when checking development so I could have had a 50%+ hatch rate which I hear is pretty much the median when dealing with shipped eggs. I weeded out some of the weaker birds (fed them to other...

    Eggs vs. Chicks?

    Maybe I'm reading things wrong, but it seems like some breeds sell cheaper as hatched out chicks vs hatching eggs. I've been looking at barred rocks for example. I'm curious as to the economics of this? Why would a hatching egg be as expensive or more expensive than an egg that is incubated and...

    Seven out. They've slowed down. Hopefully they're not done but I guess time will tell!

    First time! (New Member, "A&M" from shipped eggs)

    Up to 6 completely out and another zipped. I had 21 eggs that I kept out of an original 30 that were shipped. One was cracked, a few were either bad or infertile, and I had sacrificed 3 during the process just to see what was going on and to double check what I thought I was seeing while...

    Fair question! Yes, they can get air in there. I've hatched various reptiles and even reared some queen bees in this incubator.

    These are coturnix... I think 17 days is the norm? Some individuals up to 20? I guess now the real work starts. EDIT: And for clarity, I'm not touching them or messing with them for now... Just going to let them hang out in the incubator a bit before going to the brooder.

    First time! (New Member, "A&M" from shipped eggs)

    So I joined recently. I'm trying some ebay "A&M" eggs. Mainly was doing this as a test run for other potential future incubations. This evening will be the true beginning of day 17, but I just happened to check right as this one was coming out. I imagine getting them out is just the beginning...

    I'm 15 days in on incubating... I've incubated various reptiles, queen bees, etc. This is my first time with poultry though.

    I'm a new member in Arkansas. I'm currently incubating some "A&M" Coturnix eggs as a test run. My plan is to find some pied pearl guinea eggs and hatch them this year. Just wanted to say hello!
