incubator

It’s that time of the year again! I started a small hatchery and have had many inquiry’s about my easter hatch. (Ducks) I decided it’s time to start planning for it and get my incubators clean and do some maintenance on them after I had a disastrous last hatch. How do you guys clean, sanitize...

Incubation began 7 days ago. The incubator I'm using has a built in "automatic turner" but technically, it doesn't actually turn/rotate the eggs. It only gently tilts/rocks them back and forth. The last time I used this incubator was also the first time I used it, and I had a very poor hatch...

Hello emu lovers, I've been attempting to hatch emu eggs but have not been successful and am looking for some advice. For background: I work at a small zoo with some younger emus (probably around a year now), and some of our older emus out in the safari have been laying eggs and I've been...

I left the house for a few hours and I accidently left my humidifier on in my home made cabinet incubator. When i opened the incubator 99%+ humidity. The eggs was damp, they are under 10s old. Before the incident I candled all the eggs and all showed veins and a little body. How much damage did...

Hello folks. We are Considering purchasing eggs for hatching or incubating. Any recommendations for where to purchase fertile eggs (from a reputable seller)? Also, any recommendations on a reasonably price and decent incubator? Thanks much.

New to incubating, have a small tote incubator running good. Decided to scale up and build a cabinet incubator. Trying to get my humidity up before I put my eggs in. Have a fridge fan for circulation at top and 360w of bulbs for heat. I've put two pans of water at the bottom of the cabinet where...

Hey guys! This will be my first year hatching my own eggs, I’m looking for recommendations on incubators.. I’m really looking into the Nurture right 360, any personal experiences with it?

Hi there!! Praise The Lord, I got an incubator for Christmas, and I am very excited to use it!!! I’m not sure what brand it is, maybe if I post pictures some of you eggy experts can tell me?!?! Just a thought! I have no idea what I’m doing, so this is going to be an adventure! ANY (and I mean...

Looking for a quality QUIET(no humming or ticking) incubator that can hold at least 20 eggs. Any suggestions?

I posted yesterday asking about some eggs & never got any replies, but I really need some help! I need to know when I should take the egg rotation device out of my incubator. How far along are these eggs? What am I looking at in the first picture? Any help is appreciated! 💕

New to the site but saw several hatch a long threads - so fun! I plan to collect some eggs this week and get them in the incubator on Sunday. Would anyone like to join? Most of mine will be barred rock and Buff orpingtons…some will be mixed…i have 5 very busy roosters and 50 hens My first time...

When do you guys decide to interfere with a chick hatching? I have one that pipped last night and hasn’t hatched yet. I know this is normal but it hasn’t been chirping or moving like all it’s siblings did. I’m afraid it’s week or something. I can see the beak moving but not doing anything.

Hello I’ve been ordering and incubating my own eggs from offline for 4 years now . Never would I have imagined to get a double yolk Egg let alone fertile ! I know the odds are against me for hatching success . But I’ll stick with it until the end . A miracle if it happens .

So I managed to pick up one of those cheap 12-egg incubators (sold under lots of different brand names, or none at all) -- just like this one: And I bought it for a song, which is great, but it's somewhat incomplete, which is not so great, but possibly not a big problem. It's easier to list...

25 chicks hatched!! Yay. Hoping more do. See a few have pipped. One is trying to break shell. After 2 days of being hatched, it was time to pull a few out. Yay!!!

Humidity dropped to 30° about a week ago. We are hatching tho!! Yay!! Quail babies...

YAY!!! quail are finally pipping. Heard a little chirping. And we got a wiggly egg. The eggs went into the incubator on Sunday November 21st. I didn't count the 21st... and did not expect them till December 9th on day 18. Super exciting...

Not so much as a wiggle or a pip. Hey baby ducks, it's hatch day. 🙏💕🙏 Praying that they hatch. Will leave it going till day 32...

Quail. We actually wanted quail first. But as things evolve and happen, quail hadn't. We got fertile hatching quail eggs as a gift. Shipped in the mail. We were so over joked and excited. When I pulled the tiny carton from the box the little eggs were so cold. Of course it's winter. My heart...
