    Hatching Problems, Requesting Advice ASAP

    Hello, I've been incubating duck eggs over the past month. They entered lockdown on Friday and I had one duckling pip on Sunday and hatch yesterday (day 28).

    Hatching humidity

    Hi all! I am on day 21 and I currently have four out of my 11 chicks hatched. My humidity has dropped to 63. I’m wondering if I should add any water to increase humidity or just leave the chicks alone?

    Should I go by %humidity or weight loss during incubation?

    I'm currently incubating 4 pilgrim goose eggs that I ordered online. I had an issue with my scales at the start of incubation (whoops) and so have to disregard my initial weights on arrival unfortunately. Since resuming weighing at Day 9 each egg has lost approx. 1g per day, and I've been...

    Help!! Advice Needed on Air Cell Size and Adjustments to Reach Ideal When Incubating Duck Eggs

    Hi there! This is my first time incubating duck eggs and I have been doing all the research I can to ensure a good hatch. I’ve always heard that duck eggs are far more difficult than chicken eggs, and I really want to do my best to bring these babies into the world! So, with that said, I read...

    Humidity

    Okay so I have one of those 7 egg incubators. Didn't realize it had such bad reviews when I bought it, it had good reviews on it so I assumed it was okay but reading in here I've discovered some people don't like them. It only shows the temperature no humidity, so I bought a little digital...

    Humidity for hatch and Little Giant...

    Hi all! Brand new to the boards. My sons and I are incubating eggs right now. We got a little extra temp and humidity gauge to go with our Little Giant incubator. The humidity from the incubator reads in the high 40%s, and the other one reads 11-12%. Are Little Giants often off? Do I need a...

    Do I really have to increase humidity and lock down on day 18?

    Our eggs were initially at 50-55% RH for first 6-7 days. After candling and realizing there is almost no air cell growth, I decreased RH to 40% and it did not help much, then to 26% (with no water at the bottom of incubator at all). It is day 18 now and air cells is still not where they suppose...

    Best humidity for hatching in Janoel 12?

    I purchased a Janoel 12 and set eggs to hatch today - my very first batch! I’ve read a lot about incubation but there seems to be very different suggestions about humidity levels during first 18 days. I’m not sure whether to try a dry hatch, or what rate people have found gave best results in...

    I am having a hard time keeping my Hovabator 1602N (with fan kit) at the right humidity. Target is 55-60%. I’m either at 64 or 50. Having a hard time finding the medium. If I fill the first tray, it hovers at mid 40s. If I fill second tray it goes up to about 50-52. If i add any water to the...

    Help with ventilation issue

    This is my first winter with chickens. We had a great spring, summer and fall, apart from a few predator deaths, but they love free ranging. So far this winter I’ve lost two hens straight off the roost. We have a flat corrugated plastic roof, rain tight, corrugated metal sided coop that backs...

    Hatching Eggs

    I want to hatch eggs for showing birds this year. Last year I put 42 eggs in the incubator, got out about twelve chicks. I did an eggtopsy afterwards and found 15 chicks still in the eggs, fully developed. I later found out this had to do with humidity. I've got a couple questions. 1. How do I...

    Lessons learned! Brinsea Mini Advance 2

    So I got an incubator for Christmas. At first I never really wanted one, and decided to let mother nature do her own thing at her own pace. I've always let broody hens sit the eggs and do the work for me - I've always just personally felt it's better for the chicks to get that chicken knowledge...

    Coop Humidity in Winter

    This morning I detected a slightly humid smell in my chicken coop, so I decided to get a remote temp/humidity sensor to put in my chicken coop. I have a base station weather display in my house and it can monitor up to 7 remote devices. So now I got a new remote sensor sync'd up to the base...

    The Waiting is the Hardest Part...

    Hello all!! I’m in day 1 of lockdown and my once active eggs are eerily still. Is this normal from your experiences? Air cells look good (maybe slightly on the smaller side but in my opinion almost perfect). They’re in a Brinsea Mini Advanced II and laying on sides with low part of cell face...

    Pip but no movement - shrink wrapped?

    I woke up this morning to see a pip in one of my eggs, super exciting! It looks as though it's the bubs elbow slightly sticking out of the pip hole. It's been a few hours with no movement or peeps to be heard, the humidity was at a steady 70% so I left it be. I came back inside around an hour...
