incubate

This duck was accidentally incubated with chicken eggs not sure how. So the egg was overdue for hatching but I could see that it internally popped the air sac so I poked a little hole in it. I had already assisted a chiclet with his shell and thought it would be fine to help this one aswell...

All different eggs- 10 days candle lighting. All twins?! They all had movement

There has been this egg I don’t think the chick has been alive for a while in it but I always kept it in just in case today I opened the incubator and there was this awful smell coming from the egg! I’ve had bad eggs before but they don’t usually smell this bad I did the float test and it...

So I'm very new at incubating and hatching eggs, but know how to take care of chicks once they're born. I was given an old incubator but there's no temperature gauge. I know the temperature is important, but is there any other way/suggestion to keep an eye on temperature? It also doesn't turn...

I’m making my own incubator out of a cooler. 90 chicken eggs. Should to go with the 120 qt, 150 qt, or will I need multiple coolers? Thanks!!

I have never hatched eggs before but we got an incubator yesterday and I’m wondering if I should clean the incubator and if I should how should I do that? Hatching eggs seem to be really fragile and I’m worried I’ll accidentally kill them. Our incubator holds 22 eggs and is the Harris Farms...

It’s my first time incubating Bantam eggs. I have hatched standard breeds and duck eggs before. All my Bantams are developing at the same rate except for one. It has less yolk left and it seems like it could be two days ahead of the others and the others seem to be a day ahead of the standards...

I've got some chicks that will be hatching out of my Little Giant 9200 incubator in a few more days and the hen I was planning on using stopped being broody! What provisions should I buy to prepare myself to be "mama" to 14 orphaned chicks. I've thought about buying a brooding plate and I've...

At the beginning of the month my female Peking got attacked along with her hubby. Sadly her hubby did not make it. Her bloodied and incapacitated we took her in, and applied first aid immediately. She has made an amazing recovery and is on her way to get back into the coop. Her nest was ruined...

New to breeding show chickens. Can you recommend a good incubator?

My dog killed two of my most favorite and best laying ducks but luckily I had some of their eggs. But I got their eggs right before I went out of town for ten days. During that time the people that were house sitting put the eggs in the fridge. Is it possible that the eggs could still hatch?

Hi, I am a newbie and accidentally started a staggered hatch. They are four days apart, and the first batch has 2 live eggs, whereas the second has 5 (eggs were delivered and in the first batch 4 were delivered dead). The first batch is on day 14, and the second is on day 18. The eggs seem fine...

Hi, weve had 5 chickens and 3 ducks (2 female and 1 male)for about 2 months in a large enclosure but only 1 shelter for all. All going great so far, the hens are laying great. The ducks have started laying (I presume fertilized eggs) on the same nest as the chicken eggs (that arent...

I have never had to incubate eggs myself and I'm not sure what to do! I am not experienced in candling at all, and I'm not sure if the eggs are still alive. She left them sometime today, and I attempted the float test and they all seem okay, but I'm not sure if I did it right. I currently have...

My broody hen isn't feeling well so I'm going to take away her 1 egg and put it in the incubator. I have 1 egg in the incubator that is on day 16 and the egg from the hen is day 18. I'm planning to turn off the turner and go into lock down with both eggs today when I move in Day 18 egg. Though...
