Hello everyone I will be raising dual purpose chickens for the next few months to have a small supply of eggs and meat and to sell locally
I will be posting pictures of progress
feel welcome to join this journey here are my naked neck and orpington mix chick's hatching
Day 24, had 1 pip but no movement for 24 hrs. All other eggs silent, still and starting to smell. Decided it was time to investigate.
The pipped egg I slowly slowly started to help out but soon realised the chick was dead. The pipped hole had shrink wrapped to it, it was malpositioned (pipped on...

Hello all! My ducks are not being broody at all and I've finally decided to try and incubate them myself without an incubator. I've got an insulated lunch box, a heating bad, and some warm wet wash rags with an egg. My mom put the mallard egg we had in the fridge so I've been left with a large...
I’m looking forward in selling some baby moscovy ducklings, I am incubating 18 eggs and one is hatching now, i was gonna day about 5$ each, I wasn’t gonna sell them at first because my older duck Whitehall is there mom got shot by some snoopers that were in my backyard and she went to go chase...
Hey everyone we are at Day 22 of 6 eggs in the incubator. I candled them about 6-7 days in and saw development in all but one (because I couldn’t see through the dark, hard shell). Well here we are at day 22 and there is no pipping or anything going on. Temp and humidity are where they should be...
This boy hatched from my washed and refrigerated eggs incubation experiment last spring. He's the only one of the 19 chicks that had this coloring - the others were clearly part Easter Egger (muffs and beards, hens lay blue/pink/green eggs), mostly reddish coloring (a few buff and a couple...
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...
maybe somebody, has incubated eggs to 2500m over the sea, do you have any recomendation about temp or humidity.
I have a incubator from farm innovators pro series incubator 4250, and from 30 eggs i have hatch 2

hi guys.
So it was with sadness that one chick that was incubating was dead when it wasn’t moving for three days in egg. I opened the egg and the chick was dead with its neck twisted. I don’t know how it happened so I researched and thought it could be the beginning stages of wry neck. It was...
Good day to everybody,
I'm planning on hatching some quail eggs soon, however, I do not have access to an incubator. I do have a 10 gallon aquarium tank that I plan to use for this; I'd like some advice and review on what I've come up with.
The bottom of the tank is lined with paper towels. On...
Hey everyone!! So I was just out feeding my 8 chickens, 6 black australorps (hens), 1 black jersey giant (hen) and 1 salmon faverolle (rooster), and couldn’t find one of the hens. I told my hubby to check the coop, we haven’t put in the 4 best boxes yet as we weren’t expecting the girls to lay...
I thought the chick was probably dead and opened the air sack end but could see what looked like a heartbeat or breathing motion in the membrane. I figured chick was breach and couldn't make internal pip so I used tweezers to make a small hole but it bled just a little so I used a wet paper...
I have my Muscovy females incubating their eggs. I had one go missing (Most likely an owl, hoping she just flew off. She got bullied the most) and gave her eggs to another brooding female. It’s been a week so I candled the eggs to check the progress and something seems amiss. Sorry I don’t have...
This is my third time trying to hatch our eggs and the second hatch I got one egg and it had veins all over the egg at day 10. Today is day 10 for this third hatch and I had all but 1 that were duds. The one egg that is developing is odd. I can see the baby and a good airsac but there are only...
I have a trio of Phoenix chickens. They are very happy and healthy. I am getting an egg a day (neither of my hens are clucky) so I have been incubating their eggs.. but no success at all. I’m really losing hope.
I have incubated Isa brown x eggs before with a high hatch rate but havnt had a...
Hello! I'm so worried. We have one egg left and it is still moving in the egg but is not pipping. Today at 5:30pm starts day 28. The humidity is staying consistent as well. The air sac is a good size. Help!
Okay tricked you... it’s actually quite a boring question!!! But I need some help! I am taking a test run with my new incubator and thermometers. My eggs are coming on Wednesday, and I haven’t been this excited since pretty much when my own children were born. 3 questions (I hope these pictures...
