    Hi there, One of my chickens got broody and has hatched 3 chickens out of a nest of 8. She left the other 5 eggs two days ago after the third baby chick hatched. I'm trying to save the eggs with a heat lamp and we heard chirping yesterday from one egg but now I have a leaking egg and I don't...

    Need Advice - Haching Eggs 2 Ways

    First time hatching eggs. We have 11 large fowl eggs in and incubator and we have 6 large fowl eggs under our broody Silkie. We have multiple coops so we plan to let our Silkie and her chicks have a 6' x 4' coop all to themselves. I am assuming I cannot stick the other 11 chicks from the...

    Problems with Brinsea OvaEasy 380 floor

    Hi guys, It been a while, unfortunately I sold all my hens and my hatching business because I had to focus on my Alevels. But I still have my Brinsea OvaEasy Incubator in my garage sitting there collecting dust. So I decided to sell it, upon doing so realised that the metal on the floor of the...

    Should I pull the egg???

    One Sebastopol gosling egg is VERY narrow. Its pointy end is pointy. Considering that the female is barely a year old, should I remove that egg??? I've never had to cull a chick and am concerned that the gosling that grows in the narrow shell might not develop properly. Does anyone have any...

    Could i have saved this chick?

    I recently hatched 4 healthy chicks. 2 hatched day 20 (saturday) and 2 hatched day 21 (sunday). Today is day 22 and the 5th and final egg pipped around 10am. I patiently waited all day. Only saw a little progress. (See first photo). About 30 minutes ago I went to check on the egg and didn't see...

    Do you need to turn on the incubator early?

    I have the NR360. I’ll be getting hatching eggs in the next couple days. I read the instructions so I understand how to turn on and use, but my question is, do you have to turn it on early or preheat it? Or do I wait until the eggs are in?

    Sexing eggs and wives tales? 🤔 pure bred hens crossed with buff Orpington rooster results? 🤔 Incubator brand review? 🤔 I got some answers! 😆

    I decided to try to hatch my own chickens and because I put a lot of factors into this hatch and I feel I could help others with questions concerning a hatch. I am by no means suggesting I’m a pro now 😂 BUT I went into this a complete newbie! Prior to incubation I researched sexing eggs, sex...

    Nurture right 360 temp issues

    On day 7 of a very very special clutch of eggs. The NR360 has been going okay - temp bounces a little bit but typically stays steady at 99.7. Today it’s either 100 or 99.1. I can’t get it to stay anywhere in between. Doesn’t help that you can only adjust the temp the incubator is set at by .5...

    What would you choose?

    If you had 24 eggs and only 22 spots, which would you leave OUT, and why? I’m starting my first batch of hatching eggs. I’m not entirely thrilled that not all are pure, but it’s a start. I want a friendly flock, good to excellent layers, rainbow of eggs & ability to sell eggs or birds when...

    Nurture right 360 incubator trouble

    So I have 3 nurture right 360 incubators going right now on the same table. The 1st one I bought brand new from TSC and it works great. The 2nd I just bought as open box “still new in the box” off of Facebook marketplace and every time I open the incubator to candle eggs when I close it again...

    Thoughts on the Puisor IO 103?

    I'm thinking of getting a new incubator because I currently only have 1 incubator and I know the eggs will have diffrent hatch days. Some should even be 1 week apart. I heard it's not that good for the hatching chicks to push around and get their goo on the other eggs that aren't hatching. I've...

    Incubators or Broody Hens & why?

    I’m deciding between having a hen hatch eggs for me this year or using an incubator. If you prefer one over the other, could you describe why? I’m doing research on the pros and cons of both so anything is helpful.

    Incubator turner middle rusty and won’t come out.

    Hi! My friend lend me her Nurture right 369 incubator and the middle of the turner is rusty and won’t come out. I haven’t started putting the eggs yet as I’m worried as it won’t come out when the time is right. Anyone else has had trouble with this? What can I do to fix it?

    Pressure Canner Incubator for Rescue of a Staggered Hatch

    As a newbie to the chicken world, I made the classic mistake - I set eggs in my new incubator, and then I kept adding to them, giving me a staggered hatch for my first incubation. One day after I set 21 eggs in my Nurture Right 360, I threw in a tan one because the hen was an excellent layer...

    Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me. I have a Lyon Marsh Roll-X incubator with a bum thermostat. It is the single turn. The issue is that it will not change temp. It holds at 113F regardless of the direction I turn it. I have Googled for hours trying to find a replacement thermostat but...
