Ok thank you for the input! I increased the humidity and turned down the heat a little. I hope that helps.

Today is day 25 and I have 2 Guineas out and 3 more pipping. The problem isn't with them hatching early, it is the fact that they are shrink-wrapped! One was out by itself this morning when I got up, but it's shell was dried and stuck to it's back. The other one had zipped all the way, but was...

Yeehaw!! Happy to have joined the club! I love BYC as much today as I did when I joined :)

Hi I wanted to update you on my hatch- It's been a couple months and Im sorry its taken me so long to write, but I wanted to thank you for the amazing experience with your eggs! They arrived right away and the packaging was just AWESOME. Not one egg broken or even cracked- shipped all the way to...

Im sorry, Im somewhat of a newbie myself so I cant help much, but does it stand up on its own at all? Can it bear any weight on the foot?

Im sorry I didnt respond earlier, and thanks so much for the input, but when I checked on chickie again, he/she had passed :( I did end up breaking it out of the shell to see if I could figure out what went wrong- but there was really no indication. It was fully developed, had absorbed all the...

I removed the shell where the aircell was, but not any of the inner membrane. Then I wrapped the egg with a wet warm towell and put it back. It's malpositioned because I can't see its head or anything at the air-cell side up. It's curled in there upside down.. Here it is after I wetted the...

Im not a professional here (ive only hatched out a handful of times) but I read in Gail Damerow's book- Incubating and Hatching Eggs that they can survive up to like 107 in still air incubators, and I think it was 102-104 or somewhere in there in a forced-air incubator. I know someone here will...

all my eggs hatched out on Sunday/Monday and I have one egg who I could see was alive. No pipping though. I left it alone. Last night I decided to help it out because I could clearly see it was alive, but it was in the shell upside down. I removed the portion of the egg where the air cell was...

oh good you've given me hope then! I just checked it again, thinking for sure it would be dead, but no it's still moving! I hope he/she hurries up and makes their debut, I can't wait to get the bator cleaned and sanitized.

The chick is definitely alive (I just candled this morning and I can see it moving, making movements that look like breathing), but no pipping, even internally. All the others hatched 2 days ago. My concern is that the incubator is starting to SMELL to high heaven from the hatch debris .....I...

I am sorry :( I was really sure you would have had lots of little cheepers now. I have 3 that Im still waiting on, but pretty sure they died. The rest hatched yesterday and in the night last night. I didnt start with as many as you did though, I only had 16 alive on day 18. For some reason I...

what brand was your incubator? I know some people say they experienced temp spikes which in their bators which unfortunately, caused losses with the eggs :( Im sorry about the catastrophe with your temp! I hope your 4 viable eggs hatch.

I want to upgrade from my LG, and Im looking at the Genesis 1588- I was wondering if my LG turner will work in that or would I have to buy a turner specifically for the Genesis?

Hi, I am on day 21 today as well! I had 2 hatch so far, and absolutely nothing else happening (besides one egg that I saw rocking a little). I believe you and I will both have some activity tomorrow, I'm definitely not getting stressed yet :) Hang in there, it's not over by a long shot! Good...

so far, I have 2 silkies that hatched (as of 9pm on day 21) and nothing else happening. No pips on the rest of the silkies or other eggs. BUT I saw one of the big eggs rocking today, so at least one of them is alive, and I'm assuming some of the others are as well. My humidity is steady at...

I'm hatching silkie eggs and mixed breed eggs. The silkie eggs all have very nice air cells- right where they should be. The mixed breed eggs all have *tiny* air cells- like what you would see on a day 7 candling...Im stumped. It's day 20 for the silkies today, and day 19 for the mixed eggs. Why...

I am going to text you in a minute here, I'd like to come out tomorrow if that's okay :) I got my incubator all set up and ready this week- so excited to set some eggs!

sounds great! I do have to work this weekend, but I'm off next weekend for sure so I will plan on coming then. I'll get ahold of you again next week to confirm and plan a time. Thanks so much!

Wonderful! I am so excited :) I will let you know as soon as I find out when I can get down there. Would it be too much to ask for 12-18? I just don't know what my hatch rate is going to look like- it's been a few years since I've incubated eggs. I would be happy to pay you a little something...
