    Can I Leave Egg Remains In Incubator for Days? Or Contamination Issue?

    I had a bad start to my first try incubating eggs (chickens) on my own, and ended up with the wrong heat level and humidity for days in the beginning. We have had 3 hatch well, only 1 with curly toes, but I am waiting on the rest 2 days after first hatch. Is it safe to leave the egg remains in...

    Hatched Chicken Problem!

    Asking this for a friend: Can I get some insight on a chick? This little one just hatched and it's stomach is big and black. It also has a red lumpy piece of flesh connected to the umbilical cord. I don't remember seeing it on the other chicks. Is it any cause for alarm?
