Did it hatch?

They aren’t mine, and I don’t know, that why I’m trying to get them to a home and find someone who won’t kill them. I believe it’s lack of protein and calcium

Shipped to me from southern IL to northern IL

So cute!

Sometimes it’s the humidity levels being too high, most other times it’s just nature taking it’s course. Not all chicks will survive, I’m sorry😢

Pretty good for a makeshift incubator with just the stuff you had. All you can do now is wait and hope it hatches! Once it does you should let it adjust for a bit and once the little white fuzz on it dries off you can take him out and feed it, make sure you keep him warm but it can’t stay in the...

Nice! And is that what looks like a white squiggly line? I don’t know what that is but just keep the egg in the incubator and wait for it to hatch hopefully

Did you put a heat bulb in that or is it a normal lamp? I wouldn’t think that would be enough but wow! Did you stop turning the egg at all? And it’s hard to tell what will happen since you’re doing a dry incubation with an open top. Just wait it out and check for pips, hopefully it hatches!

Good luck!!! Anxiety goes through the roof during hatching I know! Just make sure you don’t open the incubator anymore until you know none are in the middle of hatching. Make sure if you do have to take the new ones out because it’s been over a day you look for pips!!

Dove eggs are so small that might be a pip. Pictures? And make sure you don’t open the incubator at all!! That could shrink wrap him in the membrane and kill it

Wait have you stopped turning the egg the past few days tho? That can kill it since it cannot adjust to the air pocket when it gets ready to hatch. Do you have pictures of your setup and humidity and temperature levels?

Yes, that is about how long doves take to hatch. They can take up to 16 days but have you stopped turning the egg the past couple days?

Sorry I didn’t see the day, so I’m guessing today is hatch day? I did the same thing but once the baby was weaned onto seeds I took it to the local wildlife rehabilitation center I found online. Everyone is saying it is illegal but you are helping the poor thing and that matters more. I didn’t...
