    An ID-10-T error in incubation? Apparently-developed chicks never making it out of their eggs.

    So our second round of quail chicks has largely hatched, and we seem to have found the same problem this time as last. Our incubator runs at 100.5 degrees and for hatching we get humidity up to around 78% and it drops to around 69 by the time they're done. We dry incubated both times until...

    Eggs not Hatching

    Hi, It is my first time hatching eggs and so far, 1 out of 4 eggs has hatched. There is definitely development in the unhatched eggs as I have seen through candling but no pips yet. I may have stopped turning early as I was away from home when the eggs were layed and were unable to date them. I...

    Have a bad feeling. Day 21 nothing.

    Good morning everyone. We have 5 eggs that made it to today -day 21 We have nothing, no rocking, no pip, no chirp. We had an incident on day 17 where my little girl accidentally unplugged the incubator but we realised pretty quickly (I’d say 20-30mins) and the egg were not cold to the touch. We...

    How to go about lockdown in an incubator where you add water to the inside?

    Hey there! I have to lock down my incubator soon and I wanted to know how to go about lockdown. My incubator has a little slot on the inside where you put a sponge for the humidity. This means you have to open the lid to insert it. How do I go about this during lockdown? Do I just quickly open...

    Incubator recommendations?

    I’m looking for a new incubator! My budget is about $100, more or less. I’d like it to be automatically turning and preferably I’d like to be able to see the chicks while they’re hatching. All the reviews I’m reading on amazon are so terrible for all the incubators I look at. So I wanted to hear...

    Dead egg/embryo? Infertile egg?

    Hey all, this is my first time incubating eggs, and I have a few questions. I candled them today, day 7, and found one with a red ring all the way around a dark spot. I’ll add a pic? Did this embryo pass away? Also, another egg is freckly and hard to see but has what looks like a yolk, with no...

    Eggs hatching at different times- how should I do the turning?

    I was given 23 chicken eggs and 1 turkey egg to hatch for someone. Once the chicken eggs start to hatch how should I turn the turkey egg? For now I'm just thinking of speedily opening up the incubator to turn the turkey egg, but I'm still a little worried. I have the little giant incubator and...

    How long can eggs go without turning?

    I have two batches of hatching quail in two separate incubators. They are a day apart. I stopped turning the second batch a day early. I wasn’t thinking. Second batch is on day 18 with no hatches no cracks no movement. Are they all gone/dead? What do I do with the eggs? Did I mess up because...

    Quail eggs stopped developing, what could be wrong?

    My partner and I got 12 quail eggs to hatch, and 6 chicken eggs. Of the quail eggs, all but 1 began to develop, then they all stopped. They haven't been growing for a while, then we realized they had all died. The chicken eggs are still doing perfectly fine, with no issue. We have the chicken...

    Pipping?

    So it’s Day 20 for my Bantam silkie eggs, i’ve noticed a ton of wiggling right now and i was wondering how long after a noticeable amount of egg movements does the chick start to pip? I know it’s not the same for every chick for many reasons but a general idea of time would be nice if possible...

    Day 21 no pips?

    This is my first ever hatch, only one fertile chick egg out of 4. I’m not seeing any Pips yet or hearing any chirping. The chick did seem to be very active as it has turned the egg itself almost completely around with all the wiggling inside the day prior. I am doing dry incubation so no...
