    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...

    DIY Incubator Advice

    Hey everyone, We were on the lookout for a cabinet incubator this year (because you can't have enough incubators!) and couldn't find a professional one for a reasonable price so we decided to make one. Got the wine cooler second hand for cheap, most other parts came from Amazon. -Danby...

    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?

    This is my first time ever attempting to hatch my own eggs! 🐣 I recently Read somewhere on here that when you first place your eggs in the incubator, if placed in the evening you won’t count day 1 until the next day, is that correct? I placed My Eggs March 26th at around 7pm and calculated my...

    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...

    Hello all, First time hatching here with my Ameraucanas, hoo boy it's stressful trying to be a chicken mama.

    DIY humidity pump?

    I'm picking up a NR 360 next week. I've been looking into work arounds for problems I figure I will have with it. We heat our house with wood so during winter our ambient humidity can be 10% or less. Knowing myself as I do I'm afraid I will miss a topping of the reservoir. I came across this...

    Major change mid-incubation: Switching from tilting to manually turning

    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...
