    Hatching Time Incubators? Opinions?

    I've recently been hearing people raving about the Hatching Time Incubators and wanted to see who has used them and what their honest thoughts and opinions are about these incubators in general and especially using for peafowl eggs? I've always used GQF's and I feel like after some trial, I...

    Incubator not working

    My nurture right 360 is showing all 8’s across both displays and it is not responding to any buttons. This happened when I woke up in the morning time right after a pretty bad storm. The morning I was putting the eggs into lockdown….luckily I had an extra incubator to get the eggs where they...

    First time hatching from my own flock

    3rd time incubating but these are eggs from my own birds. The first two times were with shipped eggs and hatch rate was not great but not zero. Now I can finally compare with eggs that are not pre-scrambled. I expect most of these eggs to hatch aside from any blanks (I suspect a few to be...

    Should I assist?

    This chick pipped around 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The chick is still moving, more like stretching not turning, and making noise. I have monitored it all day and this is all the progress that it has made. The white membrane is turning a yellowish color and seems to be tightening around the...

    BYC Valentine's Day Hatch-a-Long

    Valentine's Day is Friday, February 14th, 2025. February is when the chicks start hitting the farm stores. Hatcheries do well in February, as there aren't many of us hatching now. One reason is we aren't getting too many eggs, if any. This year, I'm going to save up any eggs I get, set...

    Is this egg a goner?

    This is my very first time incubating, so bear with me lol. Today is day 21, and I accidentally moved the incubator and some of the eggs shifted. I repositioned the eggs and I saw this crack. I’m not sure if it had pipped on its own, or it rolled into another egg. I didn’t hit the incubator hard...

    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...

    As the hatching season comes to an end for most of us, there are some things I like to do to ensure easy startup for next season. 1. Clean ALL the parts and pieces of the incubators. I used two incubators this Spring. A Hatching Time CT60 and a NutureRight360. I start by completely...
