    Hatching Eggs With Altitude Change

    I'm trying to get ahold of peacock hatching eggs, but I know they fare poorly in shipping so I'm looking to pick them up from a state that borders mine, which would be a pretty long drive. A family member of mine is a private plane pilot and would be willing to bus me out to pick up the eggs...

    What will happen when only one egg hatches?

    Hi everyone! I need some help with my goose eggs. This is my geese’s first year laying (white embden) and I know that the fertility and chance to hatch is really low but I tried it out anyway and put them in my incubator.

    Day 8 looks like day 3

    Well, it's day 8 and I just candled my silkie eggs and they look like day 3 on the chart. Uggghhh, what am I doing wrong? This is the 5th time I've tried to incubate eggs. I've tried a variety of different eggs. Why can't I do this?

    Humidity help!!

    I'm using a janoel 12 incubator and on day 26 trying to hatch my duck eggs. I checked the humidity last night and it was fine at 70%. I just checked it again and it was down to 50%. So I added warm water to the bottom. I can't seem to get it to stay up. What do I need to do?!

    what can you do to unfertile eggs from incubator??

    one of sad things when incubating eggs is knowing that some eggs was not fertile. from several time incubate eggs, I almost always got 1/3 of total eggs that not fertile. usually I throw it or put it on nest box as decoy, but those two option is wasteful I think, since I don't want to put more...

    Home made incubator?

    So I have a mini incubator but this year it couldn’t fit all my goose eggs the way it usually does ( she laid too many). So I’ve taken a Polystyrene box and cut a hole In its lid, attaching the mini incubator motor to it. I’ve put the temperature up to 37.8 degrees Celsius to compensate for it...

    What is happening to my duck eggs? (Long post)

    I'm incubating duck eggs. This is the second time I've attempted. The incubator was cleaned and the duck eggs were wiped off with a dry cloth before placing them in the incubator. I had 8 and all of them were viable but on day 17 it appears only one still has vessels and is moving. The others...

    Finally gave in and bought an incubator. Looking for silkie eggs for my first incubation. Don't need any fancy ones, these will be spoiled pets (and hopefully snuggly lap chooks). Thank you!

    Hatching batches in the same incubator

    if I hatch 2 batches of duck eggs in the same incubator a week apart, what do I do during lockdown? I'm going to raise the humidity but what about turning the younger eggs. My automatic turner is either the whole incubator or not at all and I've been hand turning thus far. A second incubator is...

    So our duck has been laying eggs in her nest over the past week and a half. The last times she laid in this same nest something took her eggs so since it was the same nest in the same spot we decided we would take her eggs in and incubate them.

    Budget Incubator

    Hi! My name is David and I was hoping to get into raising a quail as a pet. My biggest issue is trying to stick to a budget, but I really want to incubate the eggs myself. I saw lots of tutorials for home incubators that are made of Styrofoam and lamps, but I feel like that's all a bad route. If...

    My Hatch Date Dilemma (First Time Hatching)

    I got 24 hatching eggs from a friend of ours on July 16. All they told me is that they were not incubated for a couple days before she sent them here by car. None came broken, they all looked pretty nice. Since I don't have an incubator, I sat them under my broody hen. Now, only 17 eggs remain...
