Day 22, 3 of my chicks hatched,
It is now Day 25 and I have three eggs that haven't had any progress. How much more time should I give them? Silkies are what I am hatching.
I mislabeled my post the first time and hope that doesn't hurt the reach
Hey all,
It's my first hatch in a while and thankfully I'm remembering things as I go. So far it's been pretty successful. I set 24 Eggs on March 21st. Day 7 candling was March 28th, had 4 duds which brought it down to 20 eggs. Day 14 candling on April 4th confirmed 2 more duds which brought...
I may be talking to wall now, but I had a hen sitting on eggs for over a month. Yesterday, I candled the egg and I saw a beak “breathing”. The egg looks underdeveloped by a few days. I know chicks take naps while hatching, but I saw stringy particles that looks like textile fray and swayed when...

Followed the usual rules etc temp, humidity, lockdown.
If it had externally pipped...
Hiya!!
This is my first time incubating duck eggs.
Yesterday I put my two eggs into lockdown on day 25 and both were showing great signs of development - they were at 37C at 75-80% humidity. Unfortunately last night my incubator broke and blew a fuse - there was a bright white light and I tried...
I am an Australian Teacher, Grandmother and Newby to chicken hatching. Not going to give you the long version of the story, but have been having some difficulty. It is winter here and it took me over a week to collect 23 eggs to hatch. I had 6 Holden Laced Wyandottes, 6 Australorps and 11...
