I have two duck baby ducks that hatched this morning just a few hours apart. I have three eggs in the incubator and two of them have pipped (one yesterday and one today).
The two that hatched this morning is being pretty “rowdy” in the incubator. The incubator isn’t that big to start with...
One of our hens stopped brooding a couple of eggs for seemingly no reason so we took them in to a makeshift incubator.
Thing is that we aren't sure when they were laid, so we've just been turning them every day.
One of the eggs that ended up getting cracked (and repaired with candle wax) has...
I’ve actually counted 11 (of 26! 84% of the eggs incubated were still ticking along at the start of lockdown! 🙌🏻) hairline cracks… of COURSE the first obvious pip is at the wrong end though 🙄
Quail chicks: always working hard to die under even the most ideal circumstances! 😅
I’ll keep y’all...
I have 6 mallard duck eggs on lockdown and to begin with I'm so scared! There was a 7 day window of not knowing exactly what day(s) they were all in the nest but Mom was seen sitting on them one day and next morning it appeared an animal had attacked her and killed her. Purchased a Kebonnixs...
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...
This is My first time hatching Chicks 🐣 and I recently come across a post that states You don’t count day 1 of incubation until the next day if the eggs where placed in the evening. I placed My eggs March 26th at around 7pm and counted 21 days from that which is April 16th (today) So would that...
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...
I was adding water into the hole on my incubator to increase humidity. It’s been a weird few days in my chicken world. I staggered eggs in the incubator from my hen and rooster to see if they’d hatch. The first one hatched two days ago and I sold her today (so she wasn’t lonely any more). I...
Hello it's my First time hatching duck eggs, I have 3 incubating and I am currently on day 24, (almost 25) and they are growing big and moving a lot when I candled them, however there is a problem, one of them the air cell looks a perfect size, but the other two are concerning, one is way too...
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...
We had one smelly egg that we removed and candles the remaining eggs more than a week ago. Today is hatch day and we haven't even had a pip yet. So worried.
A whole month of turning eggs and fretting over temp and humidity...
