incubator chicks

Hi there everyone! I recently went to a breeder and got 6 Mille fluer and Porcelain Pekin bantam eggs. I have a Janoel 24s incubator. She had been saving them for a week which I have read is perfectly fine. I candled the eggs at day 8 and saw that 5/6 eggs were developing which was great! Soon...

Has anyone had eggs do this when you incubate them?

G'day everyone, Mumma Chook here from down under. I am on my 4th hatch. So far i have had 100% hatching on the last 2 sets. I only have a small incubator that holds 8 eggs. I set 7 last month and all hatched. Unfortunately 3 are now no longer with me. It is heart breaking when you loose any. I...

Please help! My chicks are dying and I don’t know why! Some background: The chicks were hatched underneath a broody hen. We decided to build the chicks a home of their own when we failed to introduce a couple of keets we purchased to the mama chicken in the hopes she’d adopt them. The adoption...

Hi guys! I’m new to hatching and BYC. I’m like a first time mum with eggs in my incubator! I needed a place to share my chicken excitement because even my husband and kids aren’t as excited as I am about our new chicken family! I’ve got 5 speckled Sussex eggs from eBay, 5 Brahma (3 light 2...

I have just done the most stupid thing. We have successfully hatched bantams well over a week ago and had two other eggs in the incubator which were added 3 days in to replace the non fertile eggs I removed at day 5. When they were overdue I candled for internal pip and there was nothing, nor...

I had a fox take out my entire flock and these hens were so special to me. I had a couple young roosters I had just given to a friend but had 14 eggs I wanted to try to incubate to have babies from my girls I lost. Out of those I had 1 fertile egg that had a baby at day 5. 1 out of 14 . I've...

Hello everyone! I’m looking for reviews on egg incubators based on you results on using the machines. I currently have a Little Giant and was successful in incubating the eggs; however, the temperature and humidity fluctuated way too much. I would check on the incubator 8 times a day and while...

We had a broody hen and found the best way to break her was to let her hatch some of the eggs we had in our incubator. Now we’ve come across a new problem! Do I remove the chick she hatched from under her and put in my brooder with my other chick that hatched from the incubator? Do I put the...
