Don’t worry you’ll do better than her lol. I feel your pain though because my two were doing a co-brood and both sitting and I just found two fully zipped squished chicks in the nest, ugh very upset. I might take them inside or stick them under the others

Yes! I did thank you so much I’m so happy! It really did go better just knowing what to expect I assisted I believe at least 5 so I’ve gotten good at that as well. There was one I may have assisted too early but after my little crippled one I left in too long I kind of have a fear. It went...

Well I’ve done pretty good picking which eggs are silkies- I’m pretty proud! The Sebright and silkies eggs look so much alike the only difference is a slight sheen and I tried to set all silkies. I did get one bantam who I almost lost during assisted but turned out ok. Also found one baby...

Everyone how long before assist if externally pipped?

Well my broody girls have hatched a few themselves! But I do have a question. My run is fenced and includes a mixed flock I have 4silkies 4 bantams 4 larger chickens ( Orpington, Wyandotte’s one of which is the top hen and pretty nasty to the other girls at times) . The roos are 1 bantam and 1...

Good morning all! Well 6 in total this morning! Still a lot to hatch many are pipped. I was being lazy and didn’t want to put the liner and now I’m kicking myself because one has really bad splay leg and two others have it a bit. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the shelf liner in. Anyway I...

Omg bantam barred rock colored that’s my dream!

Happy Easter y’all I believe I have 4 pips at the moment, really hoping for a few Easter babies they’ve had me waiting since this morning!

Keep us updated I have turkey eggs just sitting in my incubator room form my royal palm lady but idk if I should hatch them!

Day 15 I weighed half and they have a pretty consistent loss which is about 2-3 grams each from say 7. They look pretty close to the numbers @CluckNDoodle showed me. Here are my air cells I think they look pretty good. Here’s some pictures from my March babies outside session today they stayed...

Yes at first I was going to just trust the whole humidity being higher thing was going to fix it but I figured I’d better be sure. Hopefully it works out ok I guess I can get more of an idea on day 14

Hi everyone today is day 10 I candled again and outlined my air cells I weighed a few but the first I weighed them was on day 7. So it’s only been 3 days a few have lost 1% I’m assuming a few just under I don’t think my scale weighs super precisely. Can anyone tell me if this looks ok? I think...

Haha yes thank you. That’s exactly why I’m doing it but I am so bad at math. Percentages aren’t so hard tho so hopefully I’ll be fine lol.

Wow thank you SO much that is amazing I will do it the same way you have done. Next time I candle I’m going to start marking the air cells. Hello yes I also do have my own eggs from my girls right in the yard but my first hatch def could’ve been better and I’m not familiar with just looking at...

Haha oh ok that’s good to hear because I was def not looking forward to weighing every single egg again. Okay sounds good. Also I’m terrible at math so anyone who wants to check this I would greatly appreciate. So as you said .61-.72 per day so.. I’m going to use .66 since it’s kind of in the...

I’ve seen my girls take mouth fulls of dirt and throw it in the pool the second I clean it and fill it back up haha they love that muck!

Hello all, my first hatch ever was in March it didn’t go so great and I made a lot of beginner mistakes, but hopefully this time around I make some improvements! I set 35 silkie eggs. I am on day 7. I just candled and I weighed all of the eggs. The majority are 38g and 39g. Out of my 35 I have...
