turning

Hi All! Been several years since I posted (when I first got chicks) but I figured I’d add catalog my experience of trying to hatch incubator eggs. I have a roo, so I let my Cochin sit on a clutch of 12 in spring of 2020. We ended up with 6 chicks! I didn’t separate “mama” so I think most of...

Hey everyone! Hope ya'll are having a great Tuesday. My friend ordered me 12 Orpington hatching eggs for my birthday and she got an update that they are coming today!

Hi everyone! First time duck egg hatcher here! So long story short... Mrs duck and mister duck got frisky (these are our pet ducks who live with our hens).... Mrs duck laid eggs.... fox got Mr duck..... Mrs ducks nest was moved to a safer place..... but she was very unimpressed and didn't want...

Hi all, I'll be incubating my first batch of shipped eggs soon and have been reading about different procedures people use for them. I have seen a few people mention letting them set longer and, once they are in the incubator, NOT turning them for the first week. The explanation for this was...
