    Help- NR 360 water overflowed onto eggs!!

    Today is day 18 so i was preparing my eggs for lockdown and the water underneath the eggs overflowed and got half of them wet. I had a paper towel under the eggs and it spread the water. I saw immediately and got all of the eggs out. Are the eggs going to die? Please help im so worried.

    Help, I opened the incubator.

    We are hatching quail for the first time and they started yesterday morning. We have a timer set to take them out, but I noticed one was stuck where the egg Turner used to be so I got the others to move to the other side (they follow the light) and opened the lid about 2 inches and got baby...

    Does .5 make a difference in incubation temperature?

    Hi all, My incubator is sitting at 37.7 degrees on the outside but the little temp gage on the inside is sitting at 37degrees. Should I add temp so that the inside says 37.5 degrees? Im on day 4 of the incubation and want to make sure that the .5 degrees doesn’t ruin my hatch? Thanks so much

    It’s been 24 hours since internal pip. Should I make a safety hole?

    Hey all I need some advice, It’s day 29 of incubation for my khaki Campbell/pekin mix eggs, and only one duckling (as far as I can tell) internally pipped about a day ago. Should I wait a bit longer, or go ahead and make a safety hole? I can hear more than one duckling tapping on the inside of...

    Is this a normal sized embryo?

    Hi there, I’m incubating duck eggs, and today they’re at day 25. I’m wondering if this is normal: (#2 and #3 are of the same egg) Both embryos are still very much alive and move around a lot. Just wondering if the size and orientation is normal.

    Trio Cottage Incubator- First Time Hatching

    Hey everyone! I’m new to hatching chickens this year. I have my own flock now, and have been raising chicks since 21’. I’ve decided to try to hatch a few of my own to add some egg color variety. I’m wondering if any of you have successfully hatched out of a Trio Cottage incubator? (Listen, I...

    What is your method for incubation?

    This is our 3rd time hatching eggs. The first 2 times were much more successful than this last time. The first 2 times I quickly pulled the chicks out after they hatched. I was worried about the chicks bumping the other eggs around and delaying them or causing them to not hatch. I understand...

    URGENT DUCK EGG ADVICE PLS

    Ducky had started to externally pip 24+ hrs ago and made some holes! When i could finally see his beak through the hole i noticed the membrane still covering most of it. I decided to peel back more of the shell and use a wet Q Tip to damp the membrane and move it so the duckling could breathe...

    Not a really a question but an observation

    Hello all! I’m currently incubating 5 Welsh Harlequin/Pekin duck eggs and I’m curious about success rates for everyone else. I hatched a batch of 6 a few years ago with a 100% success rate, and so far, with the five eggs I‘m incubating now everything is going along very smoothly; they are in...

    Duck Egg Internal Pip?

    So it’s day 23 for this ducky and the air cell has increased a LOT in the past few days. I marked it on day 21 and you can definitely see the difference now! I just checked on ducky to see what he’s up to, is this an internal pip on day 23? I can not hear chirping, the egg has been rocking and...

    Duck Names

    Today I have started incubating 6 duck eggs again :) Most likely, all 6 won't hatch but hopefully a few of them will be successful this time! So, I'd like to know what I could name my duckies and would love to know what everyone else has called their ducks! <3 Me and my partner currently like...

    No pip? Day 27 Duck Egg Incubation

    Hi I have been reading through some past posts, I am just a little bit worried as my duck egg has no internally pipped (as i’m aware of) and it’s coming to the end of Day 27 nearly Day 28. Apparently my duck egg is a Cherry Valley Duck Egg. The duck appears quite small, but I might just be...

    Baby chick rolling other eggs around in incubator

    The first chick hatched in my new incubator but she keeps walking around all the unhatched eggs, which is causing them to roll around. I marked both sides so I would know which side to turn them to, and I stopped turning them two days ago. I read that if they are turned after that time period...

    My First Successful Hatch

    I posted sometime last month about having some trouble with an incubator that was loaned to me and ended up having to sadly dispose of the eggs I had been dutifully watching over. I’ve figured out the ins and outs of it and with success hatched a few chicks from my very own flock members! The...

    Is it incubation & air socket? helps please

    So my eggs are about 11 days old I think. This is my first time, and I'm afraid am doing it wrong. It come to my attention from a Facebook group that I should be concerned about the air pocket in these eggs. I'm supposed to have a pointy side down. So I took what I have and put them back into...
