    Emergency! Should I assist or leave alone?

    I had 10 eggs under a broody hen. She crushed 3 fertilized and 2 non fertilized along the way, so 5 remained. I let her go to day 25 and no signs of pipping so I decided to throw in the towel. We removed all the eggs and my daughter wanted to investigate them, only to crack one and find that...

    Have I Caused Shrink wrapping??

    OK so I am hatching a batch of socks and eggs. This hatch seems different than any hatch I’ve had before as a bunch of shell got knocked off and the membrane was showing and it looked pretty solid and dry. I ended up opening the incubator with 10 other eggs already picked to look at this egg...

We’ve always followed Holldereids methods carefully and...

    Is this duckling shrink wrapped?

    So my first duckling has pipped internally and kept trying to do it in the wrong spot so I gave her a safety hole. After 18 hours of no change I widened it so I can get a better look of what’s going on inside. I only ever opened the incubator in the bathroom with the hot all the way on getting...

    Duckling mass death diagnostic

    Hello BYC, I hate to have to write this message out because I'm bordering on crying. 7/7 ducklings that made it to hatch have died shortly after hatching. Important information: *The eggs were from young birds, they had only been laying for a few months. They were small, to the point that...
