Broody.I have eggs both in the incubator and broody. So far I've got one egg thats hatching in the incubator but not a peep from the eggs under my hen.
What is the general opinion - are hatch rates better with a broody or bator?

That one wasnt her. That was one jumping out to get to her box but she looks like that now. just still smaller. Her buddies are taking care of her and still giving her electrolytes every couple hours. She was at the waterer last time I looked but didnt see her drinking. Now every time she sees me she runs over and opens her mouth. Silly chicken
Thats its "snood" - at the baby stage (poult) we like to call it a "snoodlet" - yeah, silly, but at least it sounds better than "snoodle."
That is wonderful! How cute! Great post![]()
By the way, you guys are talkers!
Behind 33 pages from last nightThere is no recovering from that!![]()
MY TOTAL...4...WHAT?! OUT OF ALL OF THOSE EGGS! THIS JUST MAY BE MY WORST HATCH EVER! EVER!
I AM PRETTY SURE, TOO WARM IN THAT ROOM, FLUCUATED A LOT WITH THIS SPRING WEATHER CHANGEING SO MUCH. AND, I NOW HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT HUMIDITY.![]()
GOod luck with those turkey eggs!!
Maintain air flow at all costs--- pipped chicks need more oxygen than non-pipped, and hatched babies need MUCH more oxygen. Oxygen comes from a good air fl ow thru the incubator.
condensation is ok---or not is ok too. Less is better-- what does hydrometre read?
Temp at 97 + is ok.
With all that condensation the temp really does need to get below 99 as the babies can't breath well when the condensation is so high and hot at the same time.
