Hey hey again BYC! Today is internal pip day, however, I walked into the incubator room because of a LOUD cheep and realized that an egg (that had no pips an hour early nor was it moving or making noise) was 75% zipped. Within another 10 minutes, she was out. She looked like she pipped LOW but...

Quick backstory; I wanted to try and hatch chicks but can’t raise them, I have a coworker who has a flock, he brings my fertile eggs, I hatch them in a diy setup, I live on them for two weeks, then they go back with his flock. It’s a win win. Except he had a predator attack that killed many of...

I’m usually in crisis in the hatching forum, but here I am. I have a beautiful baby silkie (maybe 2 weeks) and two completely unknown 8 day old chicks. All very vocal and friendly (they like to charge my hand and vie for who gets to sit and sleep in it while my arm falls asleep. Regardless...

Because I’m always here every Hatch Time, and after Oatmeal was the only hatch from my last clutch months ago, I’ve wholly reassessed and made changes. Still Not getting hatches even with ample circulation, temperature, humidity, AND separating the Silkies from Olive Eggers and BCMs into their...

Guess who’s back, back again. Jojo’s back.. and needs help with hatching chickens~ lol ok SO! Rundown of set-up, timeline, and symptoms after the description off the issue. The egg in question is an Olive Egger (all my eggshells lightened this hatch like they were Sun bleached… and I don’t know...

Ok so this is like my 5th hatch and I’ve tried a variety of different homemade incubators. This one has been most successful. Thus far, this little girl, who is an overly large egg, pipped at exactly 1 PM eastern,(it’s about 9pm now and I actually caught the pip on camera. She’s continued to...

So I even went to ChatGPT with this and the thing said that it was both rare for an egg tooth to slice and not “crack” the shell, as well as get STUCK. I’m incubating 24 eggs from a coworker, silkie and olive eggers. This baby is a silkie and she made her initial pip, not only malpositioned...

I’m back! 🫣 Watching 12 late eggs from arduous hatches roll around actively in my “Lockdown Bator” for 8 days. No peeps, one single pip that I witnessed. She pipped about 6 hours back and I watched it happen. She actually pipped right through the blue colored-pencil heart 🥲 Hoping that’s not...

I have a new problem 🥺 (set up at end of post) - Its day 18 of a 9 chick incubation, and someone has internally pipped(VERY EARLY) as of 2 hours ago, but is very VERY sporadically weakly peeping… more of a weak trill actually. I don’t know who it is and I’ve never heard such a weak sad little...

I’ve been toiling over this egg for a few days, a coworker gives me eggs from his hens and there are a few Roos he tries to keep separate. Most of the time I can candle an egg and check if he found it a few days in vs his normal daily. (I am FOREVER grateful to him and am in no way complaining...
