    Hatching Chick Struggling - Picture Included (Viewer Discretion)

    So - I have had 6 chicks fully hatch within the last 48 hours. 1, however, pipped about 36 hours ago and has been struggling. It’s been doing the “biting” motion which led me to believe it had yet to absorb the yolk/blood vessels but the membrane had dried significantly around the pip hole (it...

    Found fertilized egg

    I get eggs from a friend and one of my eggs I noticed looked weird when I went to eat it so I put it up to the light and saw that it had an embryo or whatever it’s called and so I wanted to know if it’s possible to hatch it even though it was in the fridge? It spent about 5 days in the fridge...

I now am in lockdown for my intentional birds. My current mature flocks contain Polish -3 roosters,3 hens...

    Long night - not sure how to help chick now

    This guy was pipping in wrong direction and never zipped. I tried to “help” by removing a lot of his shell. Maybe I made things worse. I don’t know. Humidity is high in incubator. I’ve been moistening his membrane now and then. He’s still chirping, but seems weak. What should I do now? Any...

    Twins?

    This is my first time incubating chicken eggs and I think we have twins. The egg didn’t seem to be big like a double yolker but it was bought from someone to hatch and I’ve never had this breed before-Ayam Cemini-so I’m not sure how big their eggs typically are. I wish I could upload the video...

    First Timer Egg Mama

    I have 7 eggs in my incubator, two hatched right on Day 21. The other five have not pipped at all and tonight will be the 48 hr mark for the chicks who did hatch. Should I take the chicks out and put them in my brooders nest or leave them for another day? Also, should I candle my other eggs to...

    Here are photo and video She is last to hatch so far and I put her in late (day 3). Today is day 22 since starting the hatch but for her may be more like day 20 since a late addition. She pipped all the way through yesterday morning and now it’s 7p so over 24 hours. I peeled back some shell...

    Egg started to hatch and stopped

    We are hatching Duccles and an egg laid on 2-17 was put on lockdown. On Saturday it starts to pip then by Sunday it has gotten almost all the way around the egg shell and it hasn’t done much today- could it be dead? How long should I leave it in the incubator or what should I keep an eye out...

    Hen didn’t lay on 22 day old eggs over night

    Hi, so my hen hatched a baby chick 2 days ago. Last night she didn’t lay on the eggs left. Will they be ok now that she’s on them again today or did I lose them? One is pipped and I can hear some chirping but the rest are still whole with no pip. Thanks!

    My baby chick can’t get up

    We just hatched a baby chick in my class, and it seems like one of its legs isn’t working properly, but it’s can still move. The chick was stuck in the egg for about 3 days, but she did get out. It has had a couple good drink of water, but now is peeping because she can’t get up. We think her...
