    Internal pip

    Hi, does this look like internal pipping? I can't see the distinc air cell line anymore. But couldn't see baby moving at the time I took this pic. They are now in lockdown so don't want to open the incubator again.

Flash forward a few days and my hubby comes inside saying he found a bunch of eggs and the “missing” hen and he moved them back to the coop. BUT when he was moving them he dropped the tub.. a...

    I decided to sell all my smaller incubators & now have the GFQ 1502 Sportsman incubator. My question is how do you control the humidity better with it? I can’t get humidity right.

    Day 23 no external pips

    Hi all, we are first timers! We had some heritage eggs set under a broody, but she abandoned them at day 16. They were cold when we found them (room temp for us that day was around 22 celcius so not super cold!) and could only have been unattended for a couple of hours at most. We candled and...

    Hi everyone! This is my first hatch and I used an incubator. I have one egg that hasn't hatched. It's day 23 and no pips either but has a dark spot developing on the shell. I thought it was going to explode because it has white stuff on it (turned out to be poop from the other chicks). We did...

    Hello. My little bantam cochin has gone broody for the second time in her life and this time I am letting her sit on the eggs. She sits on them all day long except for her couple of breaks a day to go potty and eat. Do I need to be candling the eggs? I tried candling one today and it just looked...
