    HELP: What should I do next???

    I think there isn't anything else I can do ??? This egg never lost the weight even though low humidity and daily cooling and spritzing. Honestly, didn't think it would make it this far. About 12 hours ago I noticed that it externally pipped, NOT in the air cell. (This egg with abnormally...

    The first egg out of my incubator hatched this morning! But when I looked at the chick, I saw all this… weird hard stuff on the back of it’s neck? It’s sort of yellow/orange and white. The chick seems healthy otherwise, it’s walking around and for just hatching a few hours ago it’s fairly...

    2 bodged hatch attempts need advice!

    i purchased a cheap Chinese 56 egg incubator with built in chandler which turns out after the first hatch attempt is running around 3 degrees cooler than the thermostat says. To combat this I’ve put my own thermometer (which also measures humidity) in and a second one for good measure. The...

    Why won't my chicks hatch?

    I'm so confused as to why my chicken eggs aren't hatching. In the beginning, the humidity was around 40% humidity, and the temp has always been 100 F except for one day it was 96 for a while. Once day 18 came along I added water and the humidity has been 60-80%. I candled them so they are...

    Day 16 no quail chicks hatched!

    So its day 16 and there's no sign of my button quail chicks hatching, I was thinking about putting a chick noise on my iPad at full volume next to the incubator to try encourage them but my friend told me not to and I'm unsure what to do now.

    Duckling hatching help

    Seven of my eggs are hatching. One baby couldn't pip, so I followed instructions and very carefully made a small hole, then found her shrink-wrapped. I made the hole bigger and am keeping her wet, but she started helping and now I'm afraid the hole is too big because there are visible veins? The...

    How long is long enough?

    my hen hatched her fist egg on Tuesday night. The eggs hit 21 days on Wednesday. This morning (Thursday) still no other chicks. All eggs were started at the same time. I didn't candle at all during this hatch. Should I candle now? I've seen lots of different opinions on how long to wait before...

    Pipping but no zipping after 30+ hours.

    I have 4 chicken eggs out of 8 that pipped well over a day ago. Two have been cheeping loudly since yesterday. There has been no progress and no zipping. The humidity is high so I don't think the membranes have dried out, but this is my first time using an incubator AND these were shipped eggs...
