Thank you for asking. Yes! All 5 that pipped, hatched. I did not assist. I'm concerned about my ameraucana bantams. Their legs seem to be a little wide. I put vet tape around one and it seems to be doing good-it was the first of the three to hatch. The second I don't know if I taped them...

I thought maybe my chicks backs weren't drying, but I think it is egg residue. Should we rinse them and put them back in the incubator to dry before moving them to the brooder?

It seems to be egg residue. The back feathers are stuck down. Should we rinse it and put it back in to dry?

This other one has its break through and keeps open and closing his beak, but that's it. Should I peel some shell off?

1 of the 3 has its break through. The other one has the shell off and slits in the membrane, but it's been like this for many hours with no progress. I'm wondering if the membrane has dried. Should I apply some water or oil with a paintbrush?

I have a chick that has been hatched for 9 hours now, but the feathers on the back still looks wet and thim and you can see it's skin. Might it have egg residue? What should we do? I don't want to move it to the brooder too soon. It's buddy just hatched a couple hours ago and is still quite...

We have a different one that started breaking through, but the three I posted about originally haven't progressed. The one egg had rocked at times, but has stopped for a few hours now. Another has a hole, but hasn't done anymore.

I haven't seen it rock any more for at least a couple hours. The other one has a hole all the way through, but no further action and the third one has shell missing, but membrane intact for quite a few hours.

What if they break the shell and not the membrane and there's no other movement or noise?

I have eggs in my incubator. Today is day 21. We didn't notice when the eggs started to crack. One chick was vigorous and has already hatched. I have three other eggs with cracks, but no further progress. It looks like even part of the shell fell off, but the membrane is intact. I am...

Is there a way to turn off the auto egg turner? My electricity was turner off briefly, so the incubator restarted counting and is off by one day. I need to have it stop rotating today, but it thinks tomorrow.

I do not have an even 55 to keep my chicken eggs at. It was in the 30's yesterday when I collected them. I put them in a cooler in our coolest room and it was 65. So I added an ice pack and kept the lid open slightly. I think it got as cool as 40 then by this morning it was 60. This is a wide...

Thank you! I like your Bible verses!

This will be our first time trying our incubator. Is there a minimum amount of eggs that must be put in the incubator? Must it be full to work properly?

Same for me!

I have one like that. We are not doing anything. Our temps went very low in our cold snap. She seems to be fine. We did out a brooder lamp in there during this snap which started last Thursday. Temps are getting back to regular cold so we'll remove the lamp tomorrow. Just keep an eye on her.

Do you put the food and water in the coop?

You put water and food in the actual coop? We haven't done that since they have been fully feathered. They seemed to only drink when they would come out to the run. When it turns dark, they go in and roost.
