    Adding eggs after beginning incubation

    Hi there! I’m a new chicken mama. A month ago, I bought two silkies, 3 jersey giants and 3 cream legbars. They are all thriving and doing wonderful. I’m jumping on the hatching wagon now as well. Today, I picked up 12 eggs to begin incubating. Some Serama/bantam mixes and some colored layers as...

    baby chick stuck to membrane

    I assisted a bantam chick in hatching because I was away from home for a while and the humidity had dropped extremely on day 19 for this chick and it was shrink wrapped so I assisted. I peeled off the shell and left the membrane because it was still attached to the chick. I am aware I could not...

    Quail eggs before hatching...

    I think this is in the right place. My quail recently started laying again. I plan on hatching them when i get 40-50, but that might take a few days, so how do i store the ones i already have? Thanks in advance.

    Assisted hatch help needed. Wrong position

    I've been assisting one of my call ducklings that internally pipped. He's doing great. The other two eggs hadn't and as it's day 26 I was afraid they were shrink wrapped. I opened up a hole (they were shrink wrapped) and added coconut oil to soften the membrane. One of them is in the wrong...

    Guys I’m back again with questions about Cheese and her weird nesting habits. So she currently is sitting on her nest at night and in the early mornings and afternoons and is off during midday when it’s the hottest. However I went out tonight and noticed she wasn’t sitting fully on all of the...

    Is 66% Humidity okay for lockdown?

    Hello everyone. I’m incubating eggs for the first time ever and my eggs are due to hatch in 2 days. I had put 16 eggs in the incubator. 8 were infertile, 2 were found to be double yolkers (discarded before incubation) and 2 others weirdly passed at day 14 and 16. So I’m left with 5 and the last...

    Hatched chicks in incubator

    So hatch day has begun and one chick hatched yesterday earlier than the rest ( under 24 hrs as of now) but the other are just beginning to pip yesterday night. How long can I leave the first chick before it will need access to food and water? The incubator is small and I don't want to risk...

    tiny project

    So a year ago, I bred my kikiriki hen with my silkie rooster and I got one chick which is this rooster. His name is blue and he is half silkie and half kikiriki. As you can see, he has regular feathers like his mom but a comb like his dad, an extra finger on both feet like his dad, and feathered...

    What do you feed your quail and chicken Chicks?

    Hello everyone! I was curious, what do you all feed your chicks? Quail chicks as well as chicken chicks. I would usually feed my quail chicks 27% protein and I can’t get a hold of my usual chick crumb for the chicken chicks, so I was wondering if 27% would be too much for their kidneys to...

    100% dry hatch or partial dry hatch?

    ive been having problems with chicks both making it to hatching but drowning in the egg and also chicks dying after about day 7-10. i suspect the latter is because i have to open the incubator once a day to refill the humidity since i cant do it from outside. im looking into trying a dry hatch...

    Is this the ring of death?

    This egg has been consistently growing since the beginning but has this bullseye type of shape when candling. It’s day 22, they’ve been on lockdown since day 18. No pipping from any of the eggs yet but this is the only one that looks this. It seems to have gotten more pronounced since...
