    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Lol Christine. It's 10pm here. I haven't put any grit in yet as it's not needed. They will digest the chick crumbs just fine. I won't be introducing any treats to them until they are at least 2 weeks old. And then I will add grit to aid digestion. I'm saying 2 weeks so they know what their...

    Fertile eggs won't hatch

    No, don't help to hatch. They will come out when they are good and ready and believe me it can take a while. 21 days is a guideline. Soke hatch before that and some hatch after. A few of mine didn't hatch until day 23.

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    My name is Hannah and I am from Lancashire in the UK. When I moved the chicks to the brooder. I sprinkled some chick crumbs and showed them where the food was. I did dip their beaks in water so they knew where it was and honestly it worked like a treat. I did originally have wood shavings in...

    During the incubating process I wasn't stressed at all. But when they went into lockdown boy did I stress. I was up and down like a yo-yo on day 21 fretting wondering why they hadn't pipped yet. Then when the first hatch passed I was quite deflated. Quite a few pipped later on. It was about 1am...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    I started with 11 eggs. One wasn't fertile. 1 died early on. The first hatch died. Little fella was almost out and unfortunately my cat knocked the incubator as she saw the chick and the humidity reader fell and unfortunately hit the check. Another one died inside the egg. Hadn't absorbed the...

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    I stuck some cotton pads in and got the humidity down to 85%. Still too high I think.

    Humdity too high and took an external pip egg out by accident

    Hi all. I was candling the eggs to check for internal pip. And one I took out I realised had externally pipped. It was out for around 30 seconds. I've put a temperature thing in which measures temp and humidity. The humidity is showing 95% and I have no idea how to bring it down. I have...
