    I don't know if this is normal?

    I had one chick hatch yesterday around 1pm. Two other chicks popped their beaks out around the same time. The other chicks have not come out. They don't chirp. I'm here all the time and I have never heard them chirp. Are they dead? Should I wait longer or try to help them? It's been over 24...

    First HG-only hatch

    Lockdown! Hoping to see pips tonight. I set a second batch in the first brooder after I moved the first batch to the lockdown brooder. I can’t wait to see what colors and personalities emerge! I don’t know if it’s the stock (Myshire) or that I played podcasts not stop in the brooder, but this...

    Incubator Help!

    Hello! On day 14 of our attempt to hatch eggs in a borrowed incubator. We started with 6 eggs and are down to 4 that are alive and showing very promising signs (air cell growth, movement, etc.). The incubator that I have doesnt have a humidity setting so I’ve been guessing. As hatch day was...

    Deformed quail

    So I have a baby quail that hatched yesterday, I noticed it was not walked like it should be while letting it dry but instead it was dragging itself with its wings. All my other quail are happy and normal but this little guy has one leg way longer than the other, only really uses the shorter...

    Are my eggs going to hatch?!?!

    it Is my first time incubating eggs. I have made it to lockdown 10 out of 12 eggs successfully developing and no troubles. I had one mess up on day 18 (I put my silkie eggs into lockdown on day 17), I accidentally pumped the incubator and sent the eggs rolling. I quickly placed them all back and...

    What is the ultimate BEST hatcher?

    After a long search, I’ve found my top favorite incubators for days 1-18, but what about the best hatcher for days 19-21? A lot of people keep their eggs in the same incubator during lockdown and hatch days, but having a separate place for lockdown and hatch is very helpful if you have multiple...

    Hen helping with hatching

    Hi all, need your help. I am hatching Silkies with a broody Maran. This will be the Maran’s 2nd time hatch. I just saw one egg is starting to open, the outer layer of the shell is off in some places. As I watched the mom started pecking aggressively at the egg and when it was moving around I...

    Newborn chick, should I remove poop from Butt?

    She is chirping and kicking just fine, but has some sack and what appears to maybe be poop? Still attached to her behind. Should I remove? It is getting tangled in her feet when she tries to stand

    Incubating peachicks

    Hello! I’m incubating chicks. One has already hatched and it only took about 4 hours from when I noticed the pipe. The second egg piped and we’re now going on 36 hours since then. It’s opened enough that I can see it’s breathing. Doesn’t seem to be sticky. Every once in awhile it chirps. I don’t...

    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...

    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...

I placed My Eggs March 26th at around 7pm and calculated my...
