    Assisted hatch, incubator issues

    After losing 6 eggs and 1 chick, I wanted to give up on this incubator. Something isn't right with it. But sadly either I lose the eggs or try at least. So in an effort to save 2 turkey eggs, I've been constantly checking this incubator. The heat and humidity were all wonky, and our turkey...

    Day 29 no internal pip

    Hi all, I put this egg into a homemade incubator in the mid afternoon of 24th September. I counted 25th as day 1. Today is now day 29 and there is no internal pip. There is plenty of movement when I candled it but it just doesn’t look right. The air sac looks small and I can see it’s beak...

    Has anyone crossed Andalusian & 55 flower hen?

    So many times breeds are made for egg color or feathers, not so much any more for temperament and friendliness. I know people are exhausted by their orphingtons being bullied. But birds that kids and teens can easily handle would be nicer than colorful 🪶 🪶 feathers that show well. A chicken...

    A very early chick under my broody

    Hi all, So, I was experimenting with a home made incubator because at the time I had fertile eggs but no broody. I started incubating the eggs and then my hen went broody about half way through their incubation! I figured the best chance they would get is if I give them to my broody, even...

    How many times will a hen go broody in a year?

    A question for the distinguished assemblage: The hen who has been broody twice this year was sitting on the nest last night. Since I am new here, what is the worst broody? 3 times a year? 4 times a year? This is assuming you let her hatch and raise chicks. Her spring set was 21 chicks...

    duckling hatch hiccup.

    I have a duckling hatching, and she should be all the way out of the egg but she's still attached to the last piece of the shell... is this normal? Should I just leave it alone? Can/should I try to take it off? (p.s. She has been like this since around 2:30.)

    Khaki Campbell broody hatched and a good mother

    I have proven them all wrong when I got my khaki Campbell fancy to finally find a safe place away from my house and all my other animals. My two girls picked a nice tree in a flower bed of my neighbor's four houses down and they both went fully Brody towards the end one of my ducks came back and...

    It’s a miracle! One egg that fell and cracked 1 week before hatch day and covered in wax for protection has hatched today!

    :clapJust like to say that wax works if your egg cracks before hatching! So please don’t discard eggs that can live! It’s a miracle

They are running around as chicks do, but they have pressed the remaining eggs against the sides of the incubator, my thermometer says on the edges it's 98⁰F.

    Lonely duckling

    I’m on day 11 of a duck egg incubation and only one of my 6 eggs is developing :( . Does anyone have advice for brooding a single duckling. I also have 3 five week old ducklings but they are much much too big to be companions to a newly hatched. p.s this is my first time keepping ducks ever
