I have eggs in the incubator for 2 weeks now and my hen decided to go broody. Will it hurt the eggs to move them from the incubator to the hen?

I was hoping for a bit of advice I have chicken and duck eggs that are at day 22 in the incubator I took them out to do the water test 2 of the chicken eggs and 1 of the duck eggs went straight to the bottom the others rested on top but no movement. Only one duck egg moved. What do you think? I...

Today is day 18, 6 of the 9 eggs have movement inside (I discarded the other 3). Here is the temp and humidity. What do I do from here? This is my first time. I also included the pic of my incubator. Pictured is egg 1. Do I not touch them until they hatch?

I have a dozen Serama eggs that I'm getting ready to hatch and I've heard so many conflicting things about he humidity percentage. I live in Memphis so its usually pretty humid and that does affect my incubators humidity levels. Im worried about the humidity getting too high. What has worked...

Hi, I am letting a hen lay on eggs for the first time. Shes been pretty faithful laying on the eggs everyday... until we moved her into a new coop on night 20... only because we had goats bunking in with the chickens and didn’t want to chance anything. at 11:30 pm the night we moved her she was...

I’m baffled as to what is going on here? Day 11 of incubation. Eggs in automatic incubator which turns eggs every 2 hours Other eggs have hatched fine preciously I’ve been checking and looking and can’t see a problem and thought these eggs were growing fine Theres lots of moment and good vainage...

How do you raise the humidity in a still air incubator? My eggs are 9 days in and I'm just wanting to be prepared.

I have some eggs that are still a couple weeks from hatching and some that should hatch any day so I’m not sure what to set the humidity level to. I understand you should crank it up to 55-65 3 days before hatching but since I have eggs all over the place what should I do?

I have a sudden work trip, and will be gone for about three days. I have a few roommates who can help me with the animals, but am trying to make it as easy as possible on them (I have about four dozen birds, three sheep, three dogs, a pony...) I have the hovabator below, with that turning tray...

Hi all! I have probably close to 30+ showgirl/frizzle eggs in the bator. The oldest egg in there is from February 21st. There are several eggs that where doing great, where still moving and carrying on on Friday. But no one has hatched yet. I looked in the two oldest eggs, and the first one, it...

My sister and I have been hatching chicks for the season (a sneaky hen hid her eggs too well and by the time we found them they were half way developed). We had moved part of the batch under another hen who was starting to brood, and a few into our incubator. One out of the three eggs in the...

Forgive me if this has already been addressed (as I'm positive it has) but I just have such a time navigating this app... This is my first hatch! Last one in was a rotten egg I guess... I found it really late last night in the incubator (of course it was one of only four blue eggs...)its been...

Hi everyone! I'm having issues with my new Janoel 12 incubator. I had the temperature holding steady at 37.9 so I put eggs in this morning and when I checked the temperature with another thermometer, it seems to have dropped down to 36.5 and I'm nervous to fiddle with it now. Temperature set...

Hello, My mother has gotten out of raising chickens seriously a year or two back. She needs to sell her cabinet incubators and cabinet brooder but doesn’t spend much time online. Looking for a reasonable sales price and sales channel to help her sell. Found some historical prices online but...

Hey everyone! I'm new to emu and I'm trying to source an incubator with an automatic egg turner. I really only need to hatch 2 (maybe 4 if possible) so would rather not go for a huge cabinet incubator. Thanks!!

So I bought a mini eco 2....which I didn't realize had no egg turning capacity..... Well we don't keep out home heated above the low 50°f and I am thinking about putting the incubator in a container....has anyone done this?? Previously I had an unsuccessful incubation in a small greenhouse...

When is a good time to hatch chicks? And why? 0f course this depends on where you all live. So this is and invitation to all the people on BYC to tell when they hatch, and why they don’t in e.g. summer or winter. Please tell us about your climate and where you live in a way we all...

Hi backyard chickens. I’ve begun my egg hatching journey. I bought the nurture right 360 incubator. I’ve had it running for almost a day. Temp reads 99.5 to 100°f. It goes back and forth. 50%-53% humidity. Is that ok for temp to go back and forth? Eggs will be here in 2 days. So what I have...

Hey y'all! I got my first incubator and it's a Brinsea Mini 2 Advance. I'm on my last week of incubation, my six eggs are growing and thriving!! I've got a hygrometer/thermometer inside the incubator and my humidity has been around 35-40%. It's been reading about 2F cooler than what the...

Soo, this is my first post and im interested in hatching quail eggs! Can somebody give me a hand and list incubators under $30? And also, what are the steps to incubation and hatching? Thanks!:)
