    Day 16 - Is this dot concerning?

    I candle the eggs on the daily and just noticed this little funny looking shape in one of my more developed eggs. (It's the little liver-shaped thingy between the dark sides) Is this bad? I'm kinda new to incubating by myself 😥

    First time hatching at what point do you intervene?

    Hey all! This is our first time hatching eggs. A little back story: Initially I bought fertilized eggs because we had a broody lady and thought why not give it a shot. By the time we got the eggs and put them under her, she broke her brood a few days later. So she only sat on the eggs a total of...

    Where can I find this water bottle device for my incubator - photo included

    I have an incubator that can take up to two rubber tubings going from these water bottle attachments (where a plastic 20oz bottle sits in it upside down and a plastic tubing runs to the incubator so there is no need to keep refilling. I don't need another incubator. All my incubator came with...

    1st Hatching Journey - Little Giant

    This morning, I purchased a Little Giant incubator with a fan. This is what Zack from MyShire recommended to me when I asked him about it during his live stream last Sunday. I also bought the quail rails for it. However, I did not purchase the auto-turner. So how's that going to work, you ask...

    Dead egg?

    All the rest have hatched while we were on vacation )we had someone watching them.) except this one. We figured it’d hatch out by now we collected these all about the same time. But to me it kinda looks like it stoped growing but I’m not too sure how to tell and the dark kinda blood spot on...

    HDD 4 egg incubator

    4 egg HHD incubator I bought second hand for 10€ In this tiny incubator I can only turn the 55g eggs up and down. Strange I have to turn the eggs up and down, especially when they develop later in the process. I believe it is more natural to lay the eggs sideways and roll them over to the other...

    incubated eggs, different start days

    Hi, Looking for some experienced thoughts/knowledge.... We've hatched 3 or 4 sets of our own eggs (not-shipped) before, and generally hatch about 70% (or close to). We run the incubator at 50-60 with egg turner on until lockdown, then run 60-65%. This is the first time we added eggs on the...

    Humidity question. NEED HELP ASAP. Duck eggs

    Hello!! I bought myself an incubator recently and set some duck eggs today. However, I'm a bit confused with the humidity requirements. I live in Romania, and for some reason most romanian youtube videos and sites that I've seen seem to recommend 60-70% for the first period and 80%-85% at...

    Splay leg and removing from incubator

    Hey y’all! We are hatching some coturnix quail. We had about 7 hatch last night, that was late day 17, and a few more have pipped and are starting to zip this morning, early day 18! They are all looking fabulous and healthy, but I’m suspecting one chick that hatched last night has splay leg...

    Upside down pipping?

    hi! I’m on day 21 with 6 silkies, 3 pipped earlier today and are chirping and moving, the other 3 are still rocking but no pips. 2 of the 3 pips are facing downwards, is this okay? They're within the air sac, just facing the floor of the incubator, I can’t get any good pics.
