    Alive or nah?

    How long do you give eggs to hatch? 🤔 On April 6th, I found a secret nest under one of our mowers. There were nine eggs that were "good", I candled them & saw something in most of them... so I put them in our incubator. Fast forward to April 26th. I hadn't forgot about the eggs (I've been...

    When is the hatch date?

    We placed eggs under our broody hen on Sunday, April 10th at 5pm. Can we expect the hatch to start on Sunday evening or not until Monday around 5pm? Thanks!

    DIY Incubator Advice

    Hey everyone, We were on the lookout for a cabinet incubator this year (because you can't have enough incubators!) and couldn't find a professional one for a reasonable price so we decided to make one. Got the wine cooler second hand for cheap, most other parts came from Amazon. -Danby...

    The most eggs you let your broody hen hatch?

    When I was searching for answer to how many eggs should I put under a broody hen, most of the times the answer is 10-12 eggs the size which broody hen lays. I actually put 15 under my Buff Orpington mix pullet (sadly I don't know what else she's mixed with, but I guess it's brahma bc she has...

    Wrong Hatch date?

    This is my first time ever attempting to hatch my own eggs! 🐣 I recently Read somewhere on here that when you first place your eggs in the incubator, if placed in the evening you won’t count day 1 until the next day, is that correct? I placed My Eggs March 26th at around 7pm and calculated my...

    This is My first time hatching Chicks 🐣 and I recently come across a post that states You don’t count day 1 of incubation until the next day if the eggs where placed in the evening. I placed My eggs March 26th at around 7pm and counted 21 days from that which is April 16th (today) So would that...

    Day 21 no pips?

    This is my first ever hatch, only one fertile chick egg out of 4. I’m not seeing any Pips yet or hearing any chirping. The chick did seem to be very active as it has turned the egg itself almost completely around with all the wiggling inside the day prior. I am doing dry incubation so no...

    Hi, I have call ducks and I’m trying to hatch eggs in my incubator but not having good results. I’ve never done a dry hatch before. Would a dry hatch work with call duck eggs? If so could someone please explain to me how to do a dry hatch. Thank you

    Predator proofing nesting box hatch?

    A thought occurred to me, my nest box hatch just opens with a slight push, and it’s not so far off the ground to think a raccoon couldn’t get in there easy peasy. What are some ways to predator proof a lift-able hatch only a couple feet off the ground? I currently have a brick on the top 😂 I...

    I just put 32 eggs in lock down this morning. My goal this year is to raise them through the whole process using only my wool hens. No artificial light, no heat source, other than the wool hens. I started out with 41 eggs. I only candled at day 10 and day 18. At day 10: I disqualified 3 eggs as...

    Hatching supermarket quail!

    Hi guys, I got these quail eggs from a supermarket, wasn’t expecting much. I’ve also never hatched eggs before. All of them were duds until I got to the last one, I think this shows some sign of life?? Although I am new to this, what do you guys think? It’s day 4 fyi.

    Hey friends! PRAISE THE LORD, we have an external pip on our Cayuga duck egg!!! 😊😊 I’ve read over the sticky thread on the topic, but I couldn’t find (or maybe overlooked) a general timeframe between the external pip to when they start to zip... I did see on the thread that they pip and then...

    I was adding water into the hole on my incubator to increase humidity. It’s been a weird few days in my chicken world. I staggered eggs in the incubator from my hen and rooster to see if they’d hatch. The first one hatched two days ago and I sold her today (so she wasn’t lonely any more). I...
