    Internet pip but no movement day 22

    Hi All, Is this an internal pip? The air sac also looks misshapen so I’m not sure what is going on. 3 eggs all hatched day 21 but this one isn’t making any progress. No movement or chirping either when I tap on the egg. These were shipped eggs and only 4 of 13 made it to lockdown so something...

    My hen’s only hatched chick died

    One of my hens hatched her first and only chick last week. She adored the little fluffball and had bonded super strongly with it. I asked on a Facebook group whether I should let her raise it, or separate it from her, my ducks, and other chickens. I was told to provide food, and otherwise, let...

    Should I let my broody hen hatch some eggs?

    Hello, new owner here. I've got my first broody hen, a bantam girl. I'm not sure if I want her to breed yet, since it's still pretty cold outside (-8° c, 17.° Fahrenheit). Can I put her and the eggs inside the house? Or should I let her breed in the coop, the other girls will bother her though...

    Day 17!!

    First eggs I’ve ever incubated and so far going well. I see slight movement on all 3 eggs. Tomorrow by 11am I’ll stop the automatic rotation! Hoping all goes well. I did notice however 1 egg weights more than the other 2.

    Help! My newly hatched baby chick has what looks like a hernia? What do I do?

    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...

    Letting my chicken hatch eggs

    Hello! My chicken is brooding right now so we wanted to let her give it a try for the first time to hatch the eggs. My question is do I have to move her away, or will they be safe in the box until they are born and then move them. We have 4 nesting boxes, she is in 1, the other chickens will lay...

    Hello everyone, Today we heard cheeping under our hen (who had been sitting on eggs for some time) we lifted her up to find one dead chick (very sad :( and upsetting) but another that was just popping out of its shell. We watched it come out and it was falling everywhere over the other eggs so...

    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...

    Broody mama leaving egg out-but it’s still viable!

    I have a Wyandotte mama who’s sitting on a clutch of 6 eggs. She’s been great so far. I’ve noticed though that she keeps leaving an egg (or a couple) out from underneath her. So far I’ve just been scooting them back underneath her but tonight when I found one I decided to candle it and see if...

    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!
