    Homeschool Hatch-Along (2/23 hatch)

    Hello everyone! We are a homeschooling family that adopted 4 chickens (2 buffs, 1 sex link, 1 rhode island red) about a year ago. Things didn’t go very well with those 4 hens - one died from mites we thought we had taken care of, the red was re-homed because she was bullying the other smaller...

    Hatching Bantams; Increase Humidity Sooner?

    Hello, I am hatching my first pure breed silkies. I’ve hatched standard crossed with silkies in the past, but never purebred. In the past, my chicks have hatched on day 18 or 19 and I’ve heard since the eggs are smaller. It takes even less time for them to fully develop and hatch. I am wondering...

    Staggered hatch question

    I started a batch of eggs about a week ago, they are silkie and silkie mixes. With winter my roosters fertility has dropped quite a bit so out of 20 eggs I only ended up with 9 developing. The rest didn’t even start. I was hoping for a bigger hatch than that so my question is could I add more...

    Incubator temperature

    I recently bought a 12 egg incubator and this will be my first time using it but the celsius on the screen keeps going from 38.0 to 37.7. I’ve had the incubator on for about 3 days and every once in a while, the incubator keeps doing that. I have two hydrometers inside and one marks 97.6 but...

    Incubating crossbred eggs! Can anyone tell us what they may hatch to look like?

    We are trying out incubating for the first time and are on day 4 of incubation with a Farm Innovators Still Air Digital Incubator as our cheap incubator used for getting the hang of the do's and don'ts of incubating. Our biggest questions, however, revolve around what these baby pullet chicks...

    Is this egg dead?

    Hello! This little guy was moving a few days ago and I went to do one last check (day 18) and he’s not looking too alive anymore. I can’t see any veins, only bloody looking spots; no movement (today, the other three eggs all moved into position and he hasn’t). Now I’m noticing the air sac is...

    Incubator calibration question

    Hi, all. I have a question regarding my Sailnovo 20 egg incubator (link below). I should honestly have read the reviews on it before I purchased it as this seems to be a common issue with this incubator but it doesn’t seem to want to get to the temperature I set it to. It reads that it has...

    Please help!! call ducklings dying during hatch

    I started with 7 eggs, all fertile and all were growing and developing fine. 3 days ago I candled and 2 of the eggs had died and stopped growing, no veins and the inside was yellow. There 2 both had much smaller airsacs then the rest so I’m assuming that is why they died? I removed those 2 and...

    Call duck eggs day 23. Will I need to assist them hatch?

    I currently have 7 call duck eggs incubating. I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems they are difficult to hatch due to the short neck/bill. It’s getting closer and closer to lockdown and im wondering how I should proceed. Some threads say to candle and do a safety hole when they...

    Incubating and hatching

    I had a batch of eggs that went on lockdown. I’m having trouble figuring out what the issue is! The first group of eggs that went in a little while ago only 4 made it with being assisted. Each egg made it to lockdown but never internally or externally pipped, it’s like they didn’t even attempt...
