Valentine's Day is Friday, February 14th, 2025.
February is when the chicks start hitting the farm stores. Hatcheries do well in February, as there aren't many of us hatching now. One reason is we aren't getting too many eggs, if any.
This year, I'm going to save up any eggs I get, set...
I've never hatched any eggs before so I'm super excited! I put them in late Friday night so we're on day 4 today. Will post pics when I candle tomorrow.
I am back with ANOTHER hatchalong!!
This time we have 28 eggs!!
Because I put them in kind of later in the afternoon, due to getting the humidity right, if I get at least 2 or more than that I’ll put them in the inc as well.
Here’s how it’ll work:
- I will give the numbers that’s on each...
I have 23 total eggs incubating currently!! And I want you all to join in the hatching fun so I’ll tell you th3 numbers and what stage they are in incubation and you simply pick whichever you think will hatch and what color!!
It’s all for fun so it’s ok if you don’t guess right but if the...
Aloha from the Big Island of Hawai’i !
I started 34 eggs yesterday between my Nurture Right 360 and my Kebonnixs .
My Kebonnixs is all gorgeous BCM eggs and my 360 is a mix of BCM, Prairie Bluebell eggers and a barnyard mix (shown in pic of nine eggs in box) so those will be my surprise babies...
I did not see a June 2022 thread so I guess I’ll start 😂
ETA- I had 2 late comers. Total set 22
16 shipped cross country
6 from my coop
I set these beauties (- the quail eggs) this morning. Estimated hatch date - June 10th
Praying for pullets! We’ve hatched out more cockerels than pullets so...
Ok, so... I wasn't originally planning on hatching chicks. I went to the coop to collect the eggs-I had forgotten to for a couple days, but to my horror was Pebbles-a gray silkie-sitting on a clutch of eggs. I cracked one open, not thinking to candle it, and there were many red veins and...
On lockdown and this is Day 20 with the second batch of eggs in my new Nurture Right 360 incubator. 24 hours until Day 21... Humidity is at 67% and patiently (haha) waiting to see how many of the 13 eggs hatch.

Just set my dozen eggs from the Chicken Poop Bingo and figured some of y'all might want to follow along.
This is my first time hatching shipped eggs, so I'm really nervous about them. All 5 that I could clearly see into had detached air cells, so I'm hoping they'll be alright. I'm trying to...
This is my third attempt at hatching - no success to date. My first was from a friend’s pair and I don’t think they were fertile. The second batch was $30 down the drain from someone on Etsy. One egg was smashed on arrival and the others showed no veining by day 12. Both were set in a shoddy...
Hi, Im hatching 2 eggs (only 2 of them were viable when I candled day 10) and I was just wondering how often y'all candle you're eggs and what you're hatch rate with how often you candle you're eggs is. I have candled mine on day 2 day 10 and planning to candle day 13 (today) and then right...
Welp, it's time to start up a thread for those of us that have babies hatching in April! All hatchers and all birds are welcome :).
Easter babies: please enter your hatches in the 11th annual Easter Hatch A Long 2020! Participants here have eggs that are not hatching close enough to Easter to...
I'm looking to y'alls expertise to help me eliminate some of these eggs, & clean out the incubators so I don't have any explosions along the way.
@Kiki @muddy75 @FortCluck @Nabiki @R2elk @007Sean @BantyChooks @KDOGG331 & all BYC candling experts!
Wow! 11 years! of Hatching in the Cold Dark of Winter!
At noon on December 11, 2019(local time), people all over the world will be setting eggs with the goal of hatching out hundreds of cute little fuzz-butts all on the same day: New Year's Day 2020! Other poultry will be sooner or later...
I bought 2 dozen hatching eggs on ebay, 12 crested cream legbar, and 12 Lavender orpingtons. Yesterday I set 7 under a broody cochin bantam, 8 under a broody barnvelder, and the rest in my incubator. Hatch day is june 29, i really want to hear about your hatches! Bring on the fuzzbutts...
Welcome to my "From egg to adult" journal!!:jumpy
I will be putting six blue Swedish duck eggs in the incubator soon and
I will be taking pictures of the eggs until they hatch and probably until they grow up. You are welcome to ask questions and give advice, although I may not be able to give...
Hi, friends!
Anyone is welcome to join this little hatch-a-long for chicks due in mid May. I find I can get a bit overwhelmed by the really busy hatch-a-long threads, so this one is bound to be a bit smaller and maybe easier to manage because of the narrower time frame.
Right now, I have just...
