    I need help from dry incubation fans! Quick!

    I've been trying the dry incubation method too and the hygrometers have indicated humidity is around 25-30%. I've then raised it to 70-75% during lockdown. My hatch rates with shipped eggs have been terrible but decent with local eggs. I've just set two new batches of shipped marans eggs...

    August 2 - Setting eggs today ... anyone else?

    Even later, but I set 9 black copper marans last night and will add 12 more this evening. They're all shipped eggs from two diff sources and my luck with shipping hasn't been good so far. Really hoping a few hatch this round. I've got four thermometers in the incubator and they are all...

    just bought shipped eggs, whats your hatch rate?

    I'm 0 for 27 shipped eggs. 15 of the 27 shipped eggs were incubated with 5 local eggs and 3 out of 5 of those hatched. I still think I have incubator temp issues though. The discrepancy between the multiple.thermometers is really frustrating. One question, if the chick has developed to the...

    Brooder to coop

    Thank you for the suggestions and the welcome. I followed your advice and hooked up a light in the coop. They spent the day in there and seemed pretty happy. I do have food and water for them in the coop. I think the light was a definite improvement as it doesn't seem to get a lot of direct...

    Brooder to coop

    I have 4 pullets that are about 5 weeks old and I think they're about ready to move into the coop. I read that you need to keep them locked in the coop for a couple days in order to imprint their new home on them and that they will then return there without prodding at dusk. I'll need them to...

    What was your hatch rate with your first order of shipped eggs?

    What's the update on the Marans eggs? Did any of them hatch? 0 for 15 on the marans. Disappointing. 3 were pretty much fully developed in the egg and had died late. 2 quit early and 10 showed no development. Probably due to travel. The 12 shipped silkies are on day 21.5 and no movement...

    Set Eggs 07-02-11 Anyone else

    Quote: Congratulations to all others with new chickies. Even though the shipped eggs haven't done great, I'm super happy about the new little silkies. One of them even came out with furry legs and feet. Super cute.

    Set Eggs 07-02-11 Anyone else

    3 out of 5 silkies (local eggs) hatched on day 21 (sat). 0 for 15 shipped maran eggs so far. Today is day 24. Did the float test on day 23 and saw some wobbles but its not looking good. Total bummer on the shipped eggs. I candled the two remaining silkies and one was clear and the other...

    What was your hatch rate with your first order of shipped eggs?

    I'm on day 24 of incubation of my second hatch (but first hatch with shipped eggs) and I'm getting mixed results that don't look good for the shipped.eggs. On july 2nd I set 5 silkie eggs from a local supplier here in marin and 16 maran eggs shipped from georgia. I bought 14 eggs but the...

    Set Eggs 07-02-11 Anyone else

    No peeps, pips or movement for me yet. At lockdown on Wednesday, the silkies looked like they were all still viable. Hope there's some signs of hatching soon.

    Set Eggs 07-02-11 Anyone else

    Hi All, Mind a last minute join to the hatch? I set 16 maran eggs and 5 silkies on 7/2. Added 12 more silkies a week later on 7/9. All of them are currently in a hova bator with a turner but I'm planning to move the 12 silkies over to the homemade incubator tonight when I lockdown the...
