    Duckling hatched with a brown blob attached?

    Hello! I’ve hatched ducks a few times before, but this time I had one hatch with a brown blob attached to it? I’ve left it alone while others hatch, but am not sure what to do about it. The blob has dried up now and the duckling appears fine, but will it fall off on its own? Thank you! I opened...

    Early Hatch for Jumbo Coturnix Quail Eggs - Any Insight?

    I’m currently incubating my "Giant" Jumbo Coturnix quail eggs, which are from a bloodline that produces 20-ounce quail at 12 weeks (Mines @ 560g avg.), and I’m seeing some unusual hatching behavior that I’m curious about. The eggs, which average 14.5 grams, are starting to hatch fully developed...

    Prepping and incubating shipped chicken eggs

    Hi, I will be receiving my eggs on tomorrow, and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can for a good hatch rate. 1. The shipper said to unbox them and let them rest "point down" for 24-48 hours. So my plan is to put them in an egg carton point down for that time frame. 2. After that time...

    Please help!!! Baby chick just hatched ands has something hanging out of it.

    One of our baby chicks just hatched and I noticed something hanging out of it. It looks like the chick didn’t absorb all of the yolk or something all the way. With the other 6 that hatched I’ve not seen this. 1 still had the membrane stuck from the shell and I just let that fall off on it’s on...

    How to save up eggs to put under broody?

    Hi all I've got a rooster and 10 hens and would like to put eggs under a (hopefully at some point) broody hen. How old can the eggs be I want to put under her? And what is the best method to store them until one becomes broody? I don't have an incubator as I'd like to do the 'natural' way. Any...

    Help!!! Is this an internal pip??

    Day 20 bobwhite quail eggs. They hatch somewhere between 21-23 days. At 100°F with humidity of 50-55% for first 20 days. Just bumped humidity up to about 73% and left temp at 100°F for lockdown. I candled a few before lockdown and I’m not sure if these are internal pips? It’s already been about...

    Bobwhite quail air sacs day 4 candleing?

    I am new to hatching bobwhite quail eggs. I thought this whole hatch was going to be a dud because they took 4 days to arrive in mail and it was freezing out in Alaska. I’m seeing development at 4 days of incubation in almost all 43 eggs after setting for 24hrs. I’m curious if I should be seeing...

    Bruising on duck egg day 28

    My duck egg piped last night while I was asleep. Everything seems good. But I have this odd colour near by where it is pipping. Could this be a sign of shrink wrap?!

    Incubation vs Broody Hen mystery

    I am new to incubation and I hope some of the wonderful knowledgeable chick enthusiasts can help me! We recently lost 17 chickens to what we think are coyotes. We have solved this problem hopefully. Since we lost so many I let my white/splash Ameraurcana become broody. She had been sitting...

    Ducks eggs won’t pip!

    Im hatching call duckling, but they are not hatching. 1/3 of the ducklings hatched on day 28 and it is now day 32, I’m unsure if they are moving. I did candle them day 29 and I didn’t see anything wrong, I saw veins and the big air sac. I’m worried, should I assist? Is it possible they’re not...

    A argument for keeping the turner on until day 20.

    So I've been breeding seriously now for about three years, which I know is nothing compared to many people here. However one thing that never made sense to me about incubating eggs was the three-day "lockdown" period where the eggs just sit there "moving into position to hatch". Hens that are...

    Incubating eggs to hatch females

    I have a different method that may help you hatch more female hands then roosters. I'm not an expert but thankfully I'm not a beginner and this has worked for me. Keep the temperature inside the incubator between 99.2 Fahrenheit to 99.4 Fahrenheit try to keep it far away 101-4 because you are...

It was probably for like 5-10...

    Where to put my incubator

    Hi everyone! 👋 I just bought an incubator last night from my local TSC, and I have no idea where to put it! My living room and kitchen is attached and there are lots of windows that light up my space. It is a very small house with no basement or spare bedroom, so I don't really have an area...

    What’s the best multi-fowl hatching incubator?

    I can’t decide which Incubator to get, I’ve heard the Nurture Right 360 is great, but I don’t know if it had a wide enough range for my specifications. I’ve heard it does well with chickens, quail and pheasant, but I aim to hatch much larger eggs, like turkeys, peacocks and geese. Does it still...
