    So she must have hatched in the middle of the night, she definitely hatched early. She is very active and chirping a lot but has this on her bottom. It’s just there and doesn’t seem to be receding. She is moving around, walking and drying off in incubator. She doesn’t seem in any distress that I...

    Help! Mama Hen has had just 1 egg hatch!

    Broody mama wouldn’t break so we got her a gift of 4 (apparently) fertilized eggs. We wanted to be all natural and let her do her thing so we never candled- she has been so devoted to sitting and keeping these eggs safe. We had to lift her off the nest daily as she wasn’t caring for herself- we...

    When should I expect my chicks to hatch?

    Hello all, this is my first time hatching out chicks and I am so exited! We are day 16! I was just wondering what the time window is for the eggs to hatch, and after how long give up on the eggs if they haven’t hatched. Thanks!

    Do freshly laid eggs develop faster than eggs laid a week or more ago?

    Do the embryos in freshly laid eggs develop faster than the embryos in eggs that were laid days or weeks before? I've noticed that an egg laid yesterday develops faster than eggs laid last week. Does anyone know if there's any science to this? Or am I just imagining things?
