    Advice please.... I have just set 12 eggs in my incubator and just a day later one of my hens has gone broody. She's not sitting on anything but all puffed up and growls and pecks at me.

    Hi BYC friends! This is my first hatch and I’m on day 21! I have 9 duck eggs (4 mallards, 5 runner) and they all appear to be moving and progressing as expected. One egg, however, has a peculiar black spot inside. Any thoughts on what this might be (see pic and short video)? I am turning the...

    Hatched Chicks: Raising To Do’s

    Chicks that are hatched inside an incubator must stay inside the incubator for a couple of days. Don’t get too excited to take them out. Give them some time to realize that they are already hatchlings and have to cope with their environment. Birds like quails, pheasants and chickens can survive...

    Day 29 one duck hatched day 26--still see movement in eggs but no pipping!

    So I'm incubating duck eggs in my classroom, and one duck hatched on day 26 (Tuesday) in the evening. On Thursday morning (day 28), I removed the duckling from the incubator to the brooder and put in more water and some sponges as I did so to try to prevent to much drop in humidity. Since I keep...

    Help! Late DUCK eggs!

    Hi all, Day 28 for my duck eggs was yesterday, but I had one duckling hatch on Tuesday night. Since there had been absolutely no action from the other eggs (no pipping, no rocking and rolling, no noise--I'm used to chicken eggs, maybe ducks are different?), I thought the other 7 I have were not...

    Humidity help, emergency!

    I have 2 Hydrometers in my incubator, a magicfly one and a repltile tank one, and both read 70% at day 10. I then checked my incubator and there is literally only about 1/4 teaspoon of water in the bottom. How is it reading that high when so little water is in it? Or is 1/4 teaspoon to much? Is...

    Blood ring??? Day 7

    I already lost one egg, now I’m down to 6 so I’m hoping this isn’t a blood ring. All other eggs have movement but I didn’t see anything in this one. :( I just recently loss 4 eggs at day 20 from my old incubators heat element going out so I hope this isn’t a blood ring. :hit:barnie
