    When is day 18???

    Hello so this is my first time incubating eggs and I know that it is one day after you set them in the incubator until it is day 1. I just overthink a lot and don’t know if it is tommorow at 12:00 am or Sunday at 12:00 am, but I put them in the incubator on day January 9, 12:00 am so I just...

    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...

    Aloha from Hawaii! I am getting back into chicken keeping now that we own our place and can finally have them again. I was going to order chicks but Hawaii is strict and won’t let anything come in out of Ohio right now so our plan B is incubating eggs which I started today! We have a Nuture...

    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...

    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...

    Developing eggs???

    So I put some eggs that I had shipped into an incubator on Monday at 10am. I am brand new to incubating and have never done it before but have researches a bunch. It is now Sunday afternoon. I candled the eggs. I know darker looking yolks and veins are good to see meaning there is development...

    Help, unsure if egg is alive!

    So I've been incubating some duck eggs and I'm worried about one of them. There was movement and distinct veins for all of development until it grew big enough to fill the whole egg. Now I can't see any veins because most of the egg is dark and sometimes I think I see movement, but it could just...

    What happened to my eggs?

    I got an incubator to hatch out my Jersey Giant eggs. First time using an incubator. Out of 11 eggs 6 seem to not be doing anything (maybe infertile). 4 we’re developing then all the blood vessels seemed to detach and pool in the same spot. And one is maybe coming along properly. I have pictures...

    First time hatcher and so many things went wrong/died

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here and I felt really overwhelmed of what I'm trying to achieve vs. how much I can actually handle. Since last month, I've been getting new egg shipment about once in 3-4 day period and gradually put them in the incubator . Things were hatched in 4 different...

    Incubating with multiple hens

    I have two jersey giant hens and an evil rooster. Last clutch we had he murdered several chicks before I could intervene (they were new for us and I didn’t realize he would be so aggressive with his own chicks. please don’t judge too harshly 😭) so we got an incubator. So I’m wondering, since...

    Early Lockdown

    So I found a nest of eggs hidden in our coop a couple weeks ago and the temperature here is hot enough to where they were incubating the whole time. They’re in an actual store bought incubator now, but all of the eggs are on different days of development. I also don’t know exactly what day they...
