eggs about to hatch

Hi all, I’m from Washington state a little east of Seattle, and was looking to get some fertile eggs or chicks from anyone in the area. If anyone is selling fertile eggs in the PNW, I’d love to buy some from you, at least a dozen, or a few dozen ideally I

Okay so I had 8 fertilized chicken eggs that the mum has been sitting on for a while now and they were supposed to hatch on Friday and 2 hatched on Thursday and one did on Friday but when the 3rd one hatched the mum stopped sitting on the rest of her eggs but I left them be in case anymore hatch...

I started hatching eggs for the first time ever and started off with 9 eggs and I lost two during early stages when I checked the eggs on day 18 they were all moving and doing well I put them into lockdown and on day 19 at around 9am I saw one had pipped, came back a few hours later and it was...

So a while ago I posted a thread about 6 eggs that I took from a broody hen that I didn't trust. OF the 6, 5 were fertile and they are all doing well. But my family decided that since we are using such a huge incubator, they wanted to add 12 more eggs. And then 3 more. And then 7 turkeys eggs...

Sooooo... if you are a new to incubating, this might help to learn a little more about how it all works! I'm very new to incubating as well (in fact I am incubating RIGHT NOW), but I think I have learned a few things that others might need to know! If I am wrong about this, the pros can call me...

My husband and I are hatching our second batch of eggs so we are still pretty new to it. We had this chick pip and start the process of hatching last night and has been stuck at this point since 12 last night and it is now 8:30 in the morning. It has been crying and the egg has been moving, the...

I have a very small flock of chicken and one of them went broody so I decided I would get eggs for her because my incubator try was a fail. The eggs are going along greatly. Sadly we lost one towards the beginning but I ran into a problem about 2-3 days ago... my eggs are very close to hatching...

My neighbors had ripped up some bushes and found quail eggs. They set them nearby but the were abandoned. I have a broody silkie so I ran and grabbed them. She has been sitting on them for about a day. The neighbors said they were sitting there for about a week, any chance they could hatch?

I have a flock of free range chickens and my family is pretty good at recording the date when our broody girls start sitting on eggs full time along with how many eggs they have. Since we’ve started this though we’ve noticed that usually it takes anywhere from 23-27 days before we start seeing...

Hello everyone. I have 5 eggs in the incubator currently, and all of them were developing nicely. It’s my first time incubating and hatching eggs, so I’m not sure what to expect. I ended up putting them all into lockdown one day early after getting my days wrong, and now I haven’t seen any signs...

Hi, I have eggs in the incubator and I have 1 really big duck egg in there too. I thought their would be twins in the big egg but there is only one duckling in it. They are supposed to hatch Friday but I’m not sure how it will be able to get out of the egg. Since it’s a big shell he’s only in...

Please help me, I have two baby chicks that have already hatched but one hatched in day 19 and the other 20. But the incubator floor got wet(I've added too much water for humidity) and my chicks are getting themselves wet! I would remove then to the brooder but there are other eggs and one has...

Hi! I'm currently incubating 12 Plymouth Rock eggs in a Hova-Bator (model 2362e) incubator. It's currently day 24 and there are no signs of hatching. These eggs have been shipped to me and arrived a couple of days later than expected. My temperatures have been pretty consistent throughout the...

My banty broody was off her nest today for awhile eating and drinking and it’s day 20! Does this mean she thinks the eggs aren’t viable? She got right back up on the nest when she was done but I’ve always read lockdown starts on day 18 and they stop getting up. It’s my first time with a broody...

I was looking at some incubators and I kept seeing the same ones over and over and I was wondering if any of you guys/girls had any experience with them and if you can possibly tell me your thoughts on them. Which on is worth it? Which one would you buy? How do they hold temperature/humidity ...

Hi, I am new to this page and I have a crested duck and a domestic white duck that have been laying eggs and I incubated 3. I collected them on November 21st. They may have been sitting in the coop a day or two. but my duck was not sitting on them so I brought them in. I have a video and a few...

Hi there, I am on Day 28 with my 6 eggs, and see and hear nothing yet. We miscalculated by a day so the eggs went into lockdown a day later than they should have (Day 26) - so we didn't candle them as I didn't want to disturb them. Prior to that, all were moving and seemed to be growing fine on...

my sister is attempting to hatch eggs for the 3rd time and these ones seemed successful we’re on day 20 and they was moving and wobbling yesterday but they haven’t seemed to move at all day today? Is this normal? Could they have all died? How often did all your eggs move/wobble? tia 🐓 🐣

Long story short, my first time broody abandoned her eggs at around 18-20 days (different egg age by up to few days). I have noted her out and about and not coming back to the nest anymore and not willing to sit despite my efforts. I am a first timer and very spontaneously decided her to let...
