Hi everybody my name is Chantel and I am a stay at home mom to one child. I have a rooster and a hen that act like teenagers together, and three month old chicks, a Gander, a gosling, and two ducklings, also an incubator full of fertilized eggs. I am new to this so I may have tonnes of questions

Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Best of luck to you, your family, your chickens, ducks and eggs! How egg-citing that you get to incubate them! LOL!

Be sure to check out our learning center; LOTS of great articles there!

Chantal, I haven't seen that name in a long time. My high school friend was Chantal Burke, half French and half Irish. I remember she told me her uncle Jimmy O'Toole a baseball player - however I wasn't a sports fan so didn't know who he was.

Okay now that I've had my pleasant memories - what can we do for you today?
 
Alright

Everybody, I have 19 eggs in a stryo incubator, all put in on different days, I have one egg on day 22, and the other one on day 19. I just learned apparently you can store fertile eggs in a cool place for two weeks, is that true? How can I keep the incubator at all the right humidity and temp for the range of age of the eggs? What special feed should I feed my adult goose? and how long until I should chuck the eggs that didnt hatch (the day 22 egg) ?
