    Air Cell Development?!

    I just wanted a quick check of my air cells. I was running about 55% humidity (I know it spiked to about 57% for a day or two). We are at about day 7. Are they looking to0 small? Should I drop to maybe 35%?

    Hatching supermarket quail!

    Hi guys, I got these quail eggs from a supermarket, wasn’t expecting much. I’ve also never hatched eggs before. All of them were duds until I got to the last one, I think this shows some sign of life?? Although I am new to this, what do you guys think? It’s day 4 fyi.

    Two air cells

For example, this one has a normal looking air cell and then at the bottom there is a large empty space, almost like another air cell?! It looks like...

    Is my ducklings external pip too small!?

    Hi! It’s my first time hatching eggs and my first duckling has just pipped externally. I’m worried that the pip isn’t big/deep enough for it to breathe. Any advise on how it looks? It’s been almost 24 hours since it pipped externally. There’s been no movement or sound.

    Irresponsible hen!

    I went out to check on my mama hens this afternoon. I have two of them, one with 3 hatched chicks & one with 4 unhatched chicks. The hen that's supposed to be on a nest was out on the town with her friends. This isn't the first time she's left the kids home unattended. 😒 So my CPS (chick...

    Can I hatch eggs that were bought at the farmer's market today?

    To clarify, my daughter inlaw bought them with the intention to eat them, and gave me 3. They are very clean, so I assume they have been washed, and I believe that eggs sold at farmer's markets are required to be washed around my area (Tennessee). I do not know how long ago they were laid. So, I...

After 24 hours it still hadn't externally pipped so I poked a small hole through the air cell and put it back in the bator. 24 hours later there was no progress and I could no longer hear it peeping. I began chipping away the shell and...

    Incubating Online Class

    I am thinking about starting an online class for incubating eggs. My idea is to prove a list of required items. And the base of the class using a nurture right 360. As I think it’s a great intro machine and not to costly. Then I will have online zoom meeting or something similar that goes over...
