    Quail egg candling not looking great.

    Hi everyone, I'm completely new to birds and have never incubated anything before. I recently got quail eggs locally and put them in the incubator on 8/31 about 1-4 days after they were laid and they're now going on day 9. I made a massive mess up in the beginning and the eggs had way too high...

    I don’t know what to do!!!

    This is the last chick in my incubator. I’m on day 26 and I did a water candling when I heard this little guy peeping inside. Afterwards I waited a few hours and heard no sound. So I candled to make sure they were still alive. After calling around I finally reached a farm where they told me that...

    Fanciful Frigid Fall Hatch-Along

    We wanted one last hoorah as we go into the autumn and stop hatching until next spring. Most likely. Probably. (My husband is an enabler. We're building more coops, got an extra new brooder... 🤭) The naming theme is Fall/Autumn or Winter themed. (Avalanche, Flurry, Pumpkin, Samhain, Leaf...

    Welcome #2 & #1 (in that order) - and a cautionary tale of eggs and chicks

    Well it was a long day yesterday, but I have two new chicks (one hatch went bad). The 30% hatch rate was right on point and against all odds. I decided last minute not to go with local Wild Type eggs and instead ordered eggs. I received 7 and they ended up being delayed two extra days (thanks...

    Incubation Tips

    Hello, so after my unsuccessful hatch the first time, I want to try again. I have no idea where it went wrong - when we broke open the egg, the yolk wasn't fully absorbed but it just never pipped (I do have pictures but unsure if I should post because it's rather messy). Is there any tips on...

    Day late egg, hasn’t pipped yet, still alive.

    This duck is a day or two late, hasn’t pipped yet but I can see movement inside the egg. I opened up the shell and not sure if he is shrink wrapped or not. Should I open the membrane or wait?

    Duck eggs on lockdown, one’s a strange color.

    The greyish color is what I’m talking about. I moved the egg farther away from the rest in case is is rotten. I also candled it and the duck looks just as developed as the rest. Is this cause of concern of it turns that color?

    urgent—baby chick question

    Hey everyone, We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...

    No signs of pipping after first hatch

    Hello, this is my first time incubating eggs. The first one hatched around 28 hours ago. It's Day 20 today, and I've been checking consistently and none of the other eggs seems to be pipping. I don't believe I heard any noises or movements from them, either. Should I be worried? I was told that...

    Duck egg pip too smal?!

    My two ducks got picked off by a fox 28 days ago. I had some eggs so I put them in an incubator and one has already pipped! It happened over 12 hours ago and no progress. I would not be worried but the pip is so so so small I am worried that it is not getting any oxygen. Here is a photo and...

    Question about Incubating Bantam Eggs

    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    Guess the day! Silkie egg

    I've been working on a functional incubator a little over a month and it's finally at least not cooking the eggs 🙃 This is one I almost threw away from the second to last batch (all the others were Definitely dead) so it's older than the rest but I have no idea by how much. I'm just keeping a...

I have a batch of chicken eggs in a second incubator that are on day 20, and several have popped of those. But as I was looking in the incubator, I noticed a...
