KDOGG331’s Hatch Thread!!!

[ShrekDawg]

What brand did you buy?
I'll find the thread I'm thinking of to see if it's the same one or not.

Producers Pride Brooder and Coop Heater.

It probably is the same one since it’s a cheap TSC one.

I did find this thread and discussion which I thought was interesting.

How's the chick now? It's probably really tired

Did you check the other eggs for external pips?

Quiet and sleeping.

I'm so glad I'm done hatching until spring. It stresses me out even when you're doing it

The others will probably pip at night while you're sleeping. Mine always seem to hatch while I'm asleep. I'll wake up to 5 chicks playing kickball with the eggs.

Thank you!! Wondering if I should order one of those temperature control thingies.... wonder if it would work on a different brand. Or I could just go with a heat lamp or go back to the heating pad thing aha

Not yet. Or sort of. I looked but couldn’t see any. I will check again. The chick apparently moved some of them lol I think it wore itself out
