—sensitive topic— Hello! I had a couple chicks hatch yesterday. One took an extremely long time to zip, but eventually hatched on his own. He’s been very weak the entire time but I left him in the incubator to rest. Unfortunately, the healthy chick took it upon himself to start eating the weak...

So sorry! :( how did it get in the basement?!

Okay, thank you! I hardly ever catch them rocking so was curious! I opened the bator to take out the turner and adjust the humidity but now they are locked in until hatch day :)

My eggs went into lockdown just now! A couple are rocking already! How soon do they typically hatch after rocking in your experience?

My eggies have one week left! Candled yesterday and 6 of 7 looked good! The seventh was a clear so I removed it. Hoping the 2 that looked very developed last week was just my eyes and that they hatch when the others do and not early!

Looove all the baby pics 🤩 How are ducklings so cute?! Today is “Day 7” for my eggs so I candled and to my surprise, two are wayyy more developed. I’m thinking they are around day 14 or more. Not sure what to do since I only have my tiny brinsea incubator :0 any advice?! It would be a...

Hi guys! I’ll be hatching in June too! My first hatch since last year :) I picked up seven eggs from a local person. I asked why type they might be and they said they’re all a mix so I’m excited to see what kind of chicks and colors pop out! They should be due around the 15th. :)

I candled and didn't see her moving at all. I made the safety hole, and then she started moving very faintly. So she is back in the incubator now. All chicks are she until proven otherwise. 😂

Thank you! I think I will candle right now and make the safety hole if she is alive.

Yep, I just read through it last night. So about 18 hours ago, I candled it and saw it's heart beating and heard it chirp. However, I didn't see anything that looked like the internal pip from that article, so I'm not sure that has even made it that far yet.

Last night I heard a little chirp, but nothing today. Sometimes I swear I see it wiggle, but that could just be my eyes.

Thank you for that article! Super helpful! I don't think it has internally pipped yet as I didn't see the "triangle" shadow it talked about. Hopefully it will hatch. :fl

Thank you! There is no external pip, and even when I viewed last night, I didn't see an internal pip either by candling. Hoping it will hatch, but still worried.

Hello! Posting for some advice here! I had three Serama eggs in my incubator and on day 19 had two pip and hatch. Today is day 20 and I took the two hatched ones out and candled the third egg. At first I didn’t see any movement, but after a bit it started moving and very quietly chirping. I’m...
