    Question about Incubating Bantam Eggs

    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    How to check turning function on unidentified incubator?

    Just bought this incubator yesterday from an older gentleman on Craigslist for 20 bucks (he decided to become a vegan and no longer needed it.) We just got rid of my rooster, so I'm hoping to hatch some eggs before they stop being fertile. Everything seems to be working fine except I can't...

    Duck egg discolouration day 27

    Hello! It’s day 27 for my duck egg in the incubator. We found it in the garden abandoned by its mum. I’ve been candling at the right times and have seen good progress.

    Hatched chick doesn’t look well

    On my second time hatching, had a large americauna egg hatch. Needed intervention to zip the egg. Followed instructions from here and other websites. Now they don’t seem to be doing well. The chick seems larger than any other chick I have hatched. Anything I can do to help them out?

    Adding A Cord Notch To A Vevor 25L Incubator, HELP!

    My trusty ReptiPro 6000 died, and the ReptiPro company is no more, I guess. I ordered a new Vevor 25L incubator, which is basically the same thing. But. It's missing the VERY important cord notches that the ReptiPro had (see pictures below, the temp probes placed in the water weasels exit the...

    HELP! Chick getting bullied in incubator by others

    I’m in the middle of a hatch and a chick that just hatched is getting pecked to bits (even has a bloody spot on its back) by two 20ish hour old chicks. Terrified to open the incubator as I have a chick zipping right now and don’t want to shrink wrap it. What do I do?!

    Aggressive chick in incubator

    Hi! I have an almost 20ish hour old chick and one that’s only an hour at the most old. The older one keeps pecking it and being aggressive! How do I stop it? The oldest isn’t dry enough to move out of the incubator. The picture is blurry but that’s the mean one!

    Is turning my eggs every 8 hours, 3 times per day enough?

    Hello everybody! I'm about to start my second incubator journey. Last year, I managed to have a ~90% success rate with my bator, of combined duck and chicken eggs. First time was rather lucky as far as the incubating went. Back then, I had more time on my hands since I did it on a school break...

    What is this?

    I know it will be a simple answer, but I couldn’t find anything online. My chick just hatched and I see this fluid sac. I have never soon one before. This chick took 24 hours to hatch, and seems to be doing just fine. Thank you!
