    Incubator temp went up to 102 during hatch after first pip. Is that okay?

    I’m hatching my second set of eggs and the first one just pipped. I noticed the temp went up to 102. This didn’t happen during the first set. The temp has been the same exact temp until now. (100). I cracked it a smidge to see if the temp would go down but not for long because I didn’t want the...

    Pipping but not zipping

    Help! I am incubating duck eggs for the first time. I went to start lockdown but one of the eggs was an early bloomer and already had an external pip. By the time we turned off the rotator, filled the humidity wells, and put the egg back in the incubator it had been out for about 3 minutes. It...

    Chick popped a blood vessel

    Hey in my last post I said one of my eggs was more developed and he really was. He’s hatching about a week before the rest. He popped open a hole, but I noticed he popped through a blood vessel and there was a little blood I put a moist paper towel around him, because I’m worried about him. Part...

    Please help! Chick trying to pip but hasn’t not broken through!

    hello! I have an egg in an aquarium with a metal mesh top, temp is around 100°F and humidity is at about 50%. When turning the egg by hand I noticed that there was a circular crack in the egg as if it had tried to break through but it did not create a hole, or pip. I immediately put the egg...

    Pip then Die

    I have had an issue with a number of baby chicks pipping but never succeeding in breaking out of the shell. Day 1 and 2 I see some small progress, but by day 3 the cheeping ominously stops. Is this an indicator of something I am doing wrong with the incubator/humidity levels/temp? Any insight is...

    Horrible hatch rate, deaths throughout the stages. Please help diagnose.

    Okay, so I am having a terrible time hatching chicks. I know that most of us here keep our chicks backyard or on a small farm, and I am no different. I provide a balanced layer feed ration. Most of my flocks are around 1:5 gender ratio. My birds have a lot of places they can run and escape...

    Incubating duck eggs. And a few days ago I was advised to run dry till first external pip. My hair cells were very small. But now were on day 29 for welsh harlequin eggs and they haven't internal piped. I can tell they are trying. I could see it for the last 24 hr. So continue running dry or no...

    I have 6 chicken eggs incubating at the moment. It’s day 20, and my one egg has externally pipped at 7 A.M. and it’s now 11:17 am and it hasn’t hatched. How long after an external pip can it take for them to hatch? He was chirping a lot earlier and now chirps here and there. I also noticed...

    Should I turn my bottom pipper?

    One of my ducklings has pipped towards the floor of the Incubator on the skinny end, should I roll it over so I can keep an eye on membranes? The only reason I knew the pip was there was because it has knocked some little bits of shell off with its pip, but I can't see enough underneath to know...

    Day 22: No Pips :(

    This is my first time hatching, and it's been a headache. I bought a Little Farm 9300 incubator at yard sale and couldn't wait to use it. I've read hours and hours of "how-to" articles. I mostly struggled with calibrating temp and humidity, but have done everything else as by the book. It's...

    External pip, no progress

    Hi everyone, I woke up this morning and went straight to the incubator and one of my eggs pipped. That was around 7:20. Not sure how long it was open before I saw it. My question is there has been no progress since this am and it is now 6 pm, so nearly 12 hours later. Not sure if I should be...
