Good to know!! My first 2 are expected to hatch on the 12th, Lincoln's bday!! Since I'm so new to the chicken hatching world, I thought that as soon as you found an egg you needed to stick it in the bator! Lol I had no idea people held onto them. I think it will be exciting for my daughters & I...

Thanks so much!! My husband was an Army Ranger before we met:) I just got into chickens about 2weeks ago

Scare of the day! The power went out at 6am & the 1st thing I thought of was the EGGS!!!! I sprang into action & got 2 hand warmers, activated them stuck them into the bator & closed it up. Luckily it was back on it about 2 hours. They didn't lose any humidity & the temp stayed above 90 degrees...

They just left the rooster when I bought them :) I'm still only getting one egg/day. I'm making another incubator for the higher humidity needs. They are small. I think I'm going to just get a dozen fertile eggs to hatch all of them at once, but haven't decided yet.

Great info!!! So I can let them hatch in a carton? Should I let them incubate in the carton or just next to each other ?

Brown eggs! I just candled them!! I have 5 & the oldest is only 4 days old, but they all look good so far. the 2 that are 4 days look great! I can see vessels & a little baby growing!!!! It's so exciting! I have one that is spotted on he shell, but I can see vessels. Is that fine? I' a nurse &...

Th Thanks for the info! I can't go yet.... I have eggs in the incubator that I built. They have to be turned 3x's / day :) it would be fun to go! I am homeschooling my 10 year old & 3 year old. It's so fun to go on exploratory field trips.

She was hatched in June and they are both 1/2 ameraucana

I have 2 ladies... The 2nd day after I brought them home I got 2 eggs; one a little different than the other. Now the last 3 days I have only gotten one egg/day. Does anybody know if this happens when they first start laying? The one that I don't think is laying has only had one verified egg...

Thanks!!! I just got another egg! I guess I have a mid-day layer :) the younger one has only had one verifiable egg. This one is my Valentine hatch! :) Question- what noise do they usually make when they feel the need to lay? Is it the loud noise or the inner growl thing they do? Lol I'm sure...

Hello everybody!! I have been checking this site for quite some time, but just joined today. I live in Nor*Cal, we have 3 Silkies that hatched 1/4/13 along with 2 Sizzles. We also have 2 sister hens, 1/2 Ameraucana & 1/2 Brahma. They are still fertile so I built an incubator & I'm trying to...
