That's a great hatch :thumbsup What a little monkey that chick was!! Hope it hatches ok for you. My last three took ages to zip and hatch, but after my last hatch where I helped one finish zip and then had to cull it I was determined to stick to my rule of not helping at all. The three are still...

Thanks :highfive: I love the Ecoglow, but I do have a lamp for out in the brooding shed. I do wish though I had bought the 50 Ecoglow now with having more chicks. The Ecoglow is a more natural way to brood chicks as in they go hide under it like mother hen have a warm come out and go back under...

My hatch is finally finished :bow Of the 25 that made it to lockdown 25 have hatched :yesss: Been a very drawn out affair this time for some reason. They have been hatching days 20 - 21 and the final 3 today day 22. Good luck to everyone :fl

I'm on day 20 and have 7 hatched at the moment at least 5 pips I can see not sure on the ones I can't see though. 25 made it to lockdown, 4 Amber x polish and 21 polish. Congrats on your hatchers CrazyChickenCat, happy hatching to you too and everyone else :highfive:

Yes you are right, I'm afraid they have been the wrong way. They should be set pointy end down and fat end up so the air sac is at the top of the egg. Do you have them on their sides now in the incubator? Incubating with them the wrong way can cause the chicks to be malpositioned in the egg. You...

Nothing like a silkie for incubating and hatching!! Have you asked in the geese section?

I've not done geese but are they like ducks and take forever to hatch?

Have just candled my eggs. I have 2 infertile polish eggs. So down to 25 now. The 4 polish x Amber eggs are all growing well though. And 21 polish looking good too :yesss: Addiction fixed for now :hide Waiting now for day 14 and I'm sure it will take forever to come round :pop

That's great 7/8. The one you are unsure keep untill next candling just incase, they can be sneaky!! I'm on day 6 but going to candle later as most of them are polish so I will be able to see any development with their white shells. Ooh I'm excited can't wait to see how many I have got growing...

No probs good luck :highfive:

No 70% is fine for hatching no need to worry. Most people shoot for at least 65% many 75% plus. I've had mine hit 90% plus when a few chicks hatch all at once.

Hopefully not there is no way to tell for sure. You could try adding sponges to your incubator for more humidity. The more surface area of water you can get the higher the humidity. Good luck :fl

Here are some candling pics in this link for you to check out before you candle https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=230

I set 27 yesterday April 26th :yesss: 23 polish and 4 Amber link x polish eggs. Can't wait for day 7 candling :pop
