    First time hatch, help!!!

    Hello, I've raised chickens for years now, but I've never hatched any eggs before. I had to go two weeks without collecting from my hens due to a serious illness. I do have a rooster in with my hens, but none of them have ever shown inclination to be broody, and quite frankly, he never seemed to...

    Pipped at the wrong end about 24 hours ago

    I’m not sure what to do with this little guy. This egg pipped at the wrong end about 24 hours ago and didn’t make much progress throughout the day yesterday. When I came out this morning I saw the egg looking like this. The chick is moving and peeping but the membrane looks dry and there is...

    Is broody hen suffocating chicks??

    In 2 years I've had chickens only one hen has gone broody and she's been a great mom. Now 2 other hens at the same time are sitting on eggs - to make it more confusing they apparently kept taking eggs from others so the eggs are all on different days. A few days ago I checked in and one...

    Question re hatching?

    I have 5 eggs. The first egg pipped in day 25 and took 49 hours to hatch. Then 3 more hatched after that. I have on left in the incubator. I can hear him in his shell peeping but the incubator is so dirty and smells bad from the other 4 that hatched. Is bacteria a problem? Will it make him sick...

    New and Nervous!! HELP please

    This is my first ever batch that I’m incubating. I have 10 Rouhen duck eggs at day 26. I had 3 pip yesterday!! I am concerned about the humidity. I did not realize the importance of a hygrometer since I’m new at this, so I never bought one. I’ve been watching their air cell and adjusting...

    Chick pipped 24hr+ beak out but no zipping.

    So to make a long story slightly shorter I work at a preschool and I’m certain that we have been incubating these eggs all wrong probably due to the fact that we had the incubator out for the kids and they’ve knocked the lid off several times and played with the heat settings. It’s day 24 and...

    My chick pipped, but nothing else.

    So this is my first time hatching time eggs, and I had a chick pip at 3:30pm yesterday, and I was watching it for the whole night, nothing else happened. Currently my chick has her beak out and peeping away, but nothing else. It’s almost been 24 hours and I’m worried. I’m prepared to help them...

    Hatching help - bloody egg

    I have 8 eggs that are hatching out today. I have the incubator on lockdown and I sadly had to open it after the cat knocked into it and caused the eggs to hit into one another. One of my eggs had some blood come out of where it pipped at. The chick is still talking and I can see it moving and...

    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...

    Pipped egg, but what next?

    I have my duck sitting on some golden polish chicken eggs. Today one has externally pipped and now I'm left with a problem. I have been setting eggs under my duck everyday for two weeks. Once egg one hatches do I take it and let the duck continue to sit or will she still sit until the others...

    Should I intervene??

    Hey guys, Me and my partner are new to the world of incubation. We started with 7 eggs 30 days ago and We have reason to believe that only 2 are still kicking as they're showing signs of movement and have both internally piped. One of the eggs has cracked the outer shell (not poked through...
