I built my chicken pen in the fall before we had even hatched out any chickens. The plant in question is the Ruellia brittoniana * Mexican Petunia*. We had a small bed of them in the location that I built my pen, I dug up as many roots as I could, and sprayed them with roundup which killed the...

My first incubation only yeilded one chicken. My second incubation yeilded 14 chicks. I am thinking there is about 5-7 weeks difference between the ages of the first hatch and the second. My problem is I have the older chick separated from the rest of the biddies. When I put one near the...

I have the little giant with forced air fan. To make a long story short, I am on day 20 and until the first chick made its way out I didnt realize there isnt much room in there. I have 2 egg cartons with eggs inside making 24 eggs. In order to get the humidity above 65% I have had to fill...

I am sure you all remember my posts pulling my hair out over my first hatch....I got 1 out of 12 eggs with the lavender orpingtons. Well I found a second seller on ebay that shipped me extra eggs...24 total on a 15 egg auction. I also received an email from another ebay buyer asking about my...

Well day 21 is on me now, I have seen no movement in the eggs, no pips, cracks no sounds. I had a friend that has hatched out a few batches over the day I put them in lock down. We candled them and he thought that they should have been farther along development wise. So I guess I need to...

Ok tonight at around 9 pm I will hit 18 days and go into lockdown mode. I would love some suggestions on where to keep the temp and humidity. Also I had someone told me something about how to cut an egg carton and position the eggs in it so they would not roll around and damage other eggs but...

Is it normal for the eggs to appear to be at vastly different stages? I have some that you can see birds moving around, some that you can just see veins and 2 that are just clear lol. The ones that have veins might have a dark spot in the middle but I see no movement and cant tell if there is...

I have seen others that candle at 3 days even 4 days. These are basically 3 1/2 days in, they almost all look like this with what looks like the yolk sitting at the top of the egg. I am holding then with the small side down just like they sit in the turner. My goofy self dropped one and...

I am sure someone here has either tried it or knows if it will work or not. We recently replace the ceramic tile in our bathroom and I have a few 16x16" tiles left. I had thought about (in the future) putting one of these in my little giant incubator and getting the temp lined out. The line...

Had the thing lined out for 2 days at 99.5 and 50% humidity. Got my eggs in and was about to put them in the oven and now my temps off. No matter how little I move the temp control...one hair either way I end up at either 99.3 or 99.8. Should I dump the water and start over? I have not put...

Hi we are new to hatching eggs and decided to jump in and try our luck. We have had chickens before but nothing special breed wise.....yard birds lol. We have some lavender orpington eggs on the way. We have some experienced people near us but being here will help a lot I am sure. Mike and...

Just got a little giant incubator with the fan. I plugged it in and nothing from the fan, I thought it was supposed to run all the time. Am I wrong here? Thanks so much
