Thanks - think you answered most of my questions on incubation and early life for the chicks - once I finish the coop I look forward to putting this into practice.
Awesome video SoilSista! We are on day 20... I'm so nervous because eggs have stopped moving but noticed a little while ago one is cracked. Thanks for this great information 💕
@Zoe Mozzelle perfect 🥰 2/2 They were born on 2/12 and 2/13. Three weeks old today! Happy and healthy. The best advice I have to give is to wait for the hatch and not assist too early! I wasn't sure if the one that peeked first was alive and well (scared that something had gone wrong). Searched EVERYWHERE, and someone gave advice not to jump in early. Sure enough, the next morning (2) two days after the first peek, she (I hope it's a she) hatched as God intended all by herself. I could tell she needed the extra time to absorb the yolk, so I'm happy I didn't assist. Thanks for asking. 🥳🐣🐤
This was terrific....a great video for a beginner because it is by a beginner and you can feel the little bit of nervousness about doing it right. Thanks for videoing it all and talking about things running through your mind as well as tidbits of info you learned. Jesus bless.
Not all chicks are born with their eggs yolks hanging out. They should absorb while they’re in their shell. Personally I’ve never seen that and I hatch 2 times a year.
Hi My name is Eric. I would like to thank you very much for your informative video you showed at TH-cam channel concerning how to hatch chicken egg through incubator. Please will you kindly send me the actual name or product of the same incubator you used for the chicken hatch?I would be looking for the easy and simple incubator like the one you use to buy to start my poultry business Please. Will be looking forward to hear from you. Thanks
Hello this is a bit random but i need some advice. my chick hatched, it's cord is still attched to the egg. What concerns be is there's bit of blood around the abdomin. Has my chick herniated? Is the blood normal? My chick is reactive, doesn't seem lethargic but again the blood worries me. I read you can snip the cord, but other people say let if fall off on it's own, but does this apply to to my situation seeing that there is blood? I've never delt with this before. Any information would be great thanks so much for sharing your video
The first chick helps the others hatch. They talked to each other through their shells. I have also noticed over the years that the chicks running around and bumping into the other eggs hatching stimulates them and they get out of their shells earlier. I just loved watching your hatching video I've got eggs coming and I can't wait to get back into it. Oh and I've also learned from my own experiences over the years if you incubate your shipped eggs standing up for the first 7 days you tend to get more eggs hatching I also live in the south where we have high humidity so I have to dry hatch or I will drown my chicks in their eggs. I don't add any water to my incubator until I check them on day 14 if they're air sacs are bigger than they're supposed to be I add water and if there's still too big I let them go into lockdown. Again I loved your video and good luck on your future hatches I will be here to watch.
I am in S. Florida too. If you're running the A/C would humidity be a problem? Mine are not outside. And it's 4 abandoned duck eggs I'm trying to hatch.
I have 5 eggs currently pipping right now. It's currently day 21, well, it will be technically at 5 pm tonight. I'm nervous, excited, and afraid of doing this, but I also have experience in raising chicks and have had a hen hatch out a batch last year. Yes, I know Mama did the work, but it's still considered experience. Anyway, I have knowledge of incubating and honestly... some of it is just common sense. Now the water I didn't know anything about. But the temp and not opening the incubator was pretty well common sense for me. The average body temp of most animals is between 98 and 100, so yeh. What I didn't know was that you stopped turning the eggs around days 16 and 18... I wonder how mom knows that one 🤔, but I digress. It does make sense, tho. None the less I'm very excited, and so are my children ❤
Very good job, I did learn something watching your video. And enjoyed it! Much better than the first two videos I watched. I actually didn't finish watching the other two. Thank you for sharing your first time experience with us!
What an awesome video!!! I’m on day 18 today. My babies will be here shortly god willing! Thank you for the informational video as this will be my first hatch as well!
Thank you so much for watching. We had a great time and it was a great experience for all of us. We hope that all goes well for your new baby chicks. Please let us know how it goes.
Hard to believe there is such a science in doing this and all a Hen does is just sit on them and not much else ! Why do we need to turn them and she doesn't (or does she) ?
I had 2 hatch & when they were fluffy I put them in the brooder & the 3rd one I went to put it with the other 2 & they started pecking him so much so I put him in the incubator till the morning I hope it's different then does anyone have this happen to them & if so any advice on what to do
Hi Your little chick should be ok to put back with the other chicks. Pecking is a natural thing and it should end after a few hours. Even at a young age the chicks establish a hierarchy among themselves. Thank you for watching!
I've collected eggs on different days of a week. Incubated for a week now, some seem developed, others i cant tell bc they were collected on different days. I was just wondering if you or anyone has ever gone through with different hatch rates due to the eggs collected on different dates before incubation.
Thanks for posting this! Mine will hatch soon, and I’d purchased the same incubator so you really helped me! Thank you! Thanks for “insight into this!”😊
The one thing the kebbonix has is the dark top. The 360 has a white top and it interferes with the light. Try cutting a hole in dark fabric. Drape it over the 360. You will see a much clearer picture! The incubator is great. Just wish it was not white plastic that let the light right through.
You mentioned you got rid of your Roosters, and you want to hatch your own chicks ??? without a rooster ? hmmmmm use a led flashlight, it help, with faster timing for the eggs to be out
I'm a newbie and "our" wild Muscovy duck laid 4 eggs behind my fountain and then abandoned them. I had an incubator that I bought a few years ago and so I got it out and put them in there. I'm trying to learn all I can now about the process. Is "lock-down" when they are close to hatching and you no longer remove the incubator lid to check on them? How long do baby chicks/ducks stay in the incubator once they hatch?
This video was awesome. Would you recommend leaving the chickens in until day 23 regardless of if all are hatched or not. Also what are the needed materials for when you do remove them from the incubator? We’re currently on day 14 and will be candling again tonight to check the eggs. Any and all information would be appreciated.
I have the same incubator. Were successfully hatched 5 times now. I gave up on candling because it is hard to tell anyway, I just wait see which ones hatch and which don't. I notice I always start getting chick on day 19 , every time. I've never seen the "yolk" attached
I have used incubators and had decent luck but the best in my opinion is a few good game fowl hens to incubate my eggs. They will cover 10 to 12 eggs easily and they are the best mother's ever. They will protect the clutch like no other.
Awesome video! I’m on day 20 and can’t wait to start hearing the chips and the eggs breaking. I wanted to ensure what to do right after hatching and your video helped me a lot. I’m gonna watch now your other video about it. Thank you very much!
Ok you mention “lock down”…. So you disconnected the egg motor… what if the eggs collected were from a course of a few days. Will this affect the “lock down” date? I put our 12 eggs in on Oct. 6… so we’re getting close. (Only about 1/2 look fertile, a couple suspect and a couple curious of something possible but behind the other more developing eggs) Yeah first time doing this… my mind is all over. Sorry. Any advice would be helpful 😊
Hi Thank you so much for watching our video. As long as the eggs all started the incubation period at the same time, the collection of eggs will not affect the incubation. My eggs were also collected over a period of a week, but this did not affect the lock down phase of incubation. Good luck!
You seem like such a precious soul. Ty for this video! It was very informative. I’m hatching my first chicks and was looking on TH-cam for guidance. I’m so glad your video came up. God Bless!
Hi I have a Harris Farms Nature Right 360. Is it all chicks that cant eat or Walk? or just one? Do you removed them from the incubator to a bed of pine shavings? If it is just one chick then I would say it may be a birth defect this sometimes happens. You will need to just watch and see if the chick gets better ... you can try taping the legs loosely together. Sometimes the chick is born with splayed legs and taping the legs sometimes helps its little legs straighten out. Leave them taped for a week. You will need to help it eat and drink during this process.. As for not eating the chicks may not eat until the 3rd or 4 th day. Have you tried showing the chick where the food and water is?
So do they start hatching on day 19 or is it always day 21? Did they all survive after being born ? How long should I leave the baby in the shell before intervening
Hi! the eggs always hatch on day 21 to 23. Mine all survived after being born. You should never intervene with the hatching process A lot of my eggs pipped and it took some up to 8 to 10 hours before they started the zipping process. Just remember pipping can last a long time and zipping should only last up to 1 hour and at the most 2 hours. It is very important no matter how bad you want to help, to let the chick do the work.
@@MississippiFamilyHomestead what was the best humidity level when they started hatching. Mine keeps fluctuating from 65-71 and I’m in florida and the rain everyday isn’t helping.
Hi! i am replying late afternoon to your post from 15 hours ago.. Are the eggs hatching yet? Dont worry if they aren't you should see pipping very soon.
Again i apologize I did not see your post until now. Please let us know how its going. do you have any baby chicks yet.. do not worry to much about the humidity fluctuation especially during hatching the humanity will go way up.
This video was awesome. Would you recommend leaving the chickens in until day 23 regardless of if all are hatched or not.

We used the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Incubator, you can purchase from Tractor Supply or the following link. We were really happy with it. Amazon link to the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Incubator amzn.to/3Y7biUD
Wonderful video. We are eight days away from hatching and I'm so scared that some eggs are bad. Gonna candle again on day 7 and remove questionable ones I guess.
We use the Nature Right 360 and have had good luck with it Thanks for watching Amazon link to the Manna Pro Harris Farms Nurture Right Incubator Nature Right 360 amzn.to/3Y7biUD
If the is rooster present more than likely the eggs are fertilized. You will need to use the candling method while hatching the eggs to see if you have a chick growing.
You can feel the chick's as soon as you remove them from the incubator. Chick start any brand is fine. Purchased from tractor supply or any local farm supply store.
I have a question. I am incubating eggs and I’m on day 19 and we just had a storm go through our area and the power is out. And now I’m freaking out because temp is dropping inside the incubator fast. What should I do?
oh no im so sorry. First I would try to put blankets or towels around or on top to hold in as much heat as possible. Do not open the incubator. Do you have a UPS that a computer may be plugged into? you can plug the incubator into a UPS. Hopefully the power will come back as soon as possible. If you have an inverter in your car you can take them to the car and plug them up that way. Please let me know how it goes.
@@MississippiFamilyHomestead I’m not sure how long it will be out. My son lives 4 miles Fro me and he has electricity. But would it be ok to move them?
Are you all watching the same as me? I'm surprised any hatched with the lengh of time she was messing around with them during candling. The lighting around them was way too light anyway too make accurate judgement
I guess that you never made time to learn manners. She is learning and enjoying while performing this experiment. However, I am sorry for whatever happened in your life to make you bitter
@@janetcalvert3959 wow I can imagine you sat there with your nose turned up. There's a difference between manners and honesty. I said nothing rude, bitter or untoward. I said what I seen, why do people get their backs up if someone has a different opinion? In life you got to deal with the fact we will have different thoughts and ideas, it comes with being a adult, and even though my comment wasn't bad I stand by it, get over it
@@river1927Miss Emma, my opinion was that you expressed yours in an unmannerd way, not that you held one I disagreed with. Reading comprehension must not be a strong suit you posses along with the painfully obvious lack of being able to express a criticism in a charitable, helpful, mature way. "Are you all watching the same as me." That bout sums it all up right there. And by the way sweetie, I do don't have anything to " get over."
Nice incubator. Those eggs are beautiful. Nice trick to color the water! So cool y'all could actually see a little foot.
Thanks - think you answered most of my questions on incubation and early life for the chicks - once I finish the coop I look forward to putting this into practice.
Thank you for watching. please let us know how it goes.
I love how excited you get about seeing the foot. So cute. :)
It was very exiting to see this for the first time. Thanks for watching
You guys are weldone
Very nice and humbly explained❤
You’re the best
It’s the humidity
This was a wonderful video how did the chickens do after they hatched?
They all survived, we ended up with 1 rooster and 6 hens. They are still doing good and laying eggs. thank you for watching
Lovely video, thank you🤗🤗
We are so glad you enjoyed our video. I hope it was helpful and informative.

How long do you keep them in the incubator before you move them in the box
24 hours so they can dry
Does anybody know how to tell if the hick is still alive in the egg
can anyone recommend any cheap (preferably under 30) incubators that actually work
You need a better candler
be careful cat actual tend to eat the small chick.. 😅😅
Very true. Cats will eat chicks and smaller pullets. Dogs too.
We always kept the cats away when we were not around. Cats will eat the little chicks fast. Thanks
This was terrific....a great video for a beginner because it is by a beginner and you can feel the little bit of nervousness about doing it right.

hey what incubator do you have and my chicks been out for 2 days and cant walk and cant eat by its self help me out plss

If the is rooster present more than likely the eggs are fertilized. You will need to use the candling method while hatching the eggs to see if you have a chick growing.
Some people told me I can start feeding after two days? Is that all right?
You can feel the chick's as soon as you remove them from the incubator. Chick start any brand is fine. Purchased from tractor supply or any local farm supply store.
Sorry feed chick's please excuse my miss spelling
Thank you 💕
I have a question. I am incubating eggs and I’m on day 19 and we just had a storm go through our area and the power is out. And now I’m freaking out because temp is dropping inside the incubator fast. What should I do?
oh no im so sorry. First I would try to put blankets or towels around or on top to hold in as much heat as possible. Do not open the incubator. Do you have a UPS that a computer may be plugged into? you can plug the incubator into a UPS. Hopefully the power will come back as soon as possible. If you have an inverter in your car you can take them to the car and plug them up that way. Please let me know how it goes.
@@MississippiFamilyHomestead I’m not sure how long it will be out. My son lives 4 miles Fro me and he has electricity. But would it be ok to move them?
I believe you should be ok to move them, I would be as gentle as you can and keep a towel over the incubator.
@@MississippiFamilyHomestead I have the styrofoam that the incubator came in around it now to keep it warm but the eggs are just at the bottom of it.
I believe that will be ok until you can get it to your son's house. Please let us know how it goes
You did a great job😊!
thanks for watching
Do you ever assist the hatch?
No, we never assist with the hatch, thanks
How's the last one doing now?
The last one is a rooster and actually has become one of our favorites. He is doing well.
@@MississippiFamilyHomestead That's great,glad that the he's doing well 🧡
Yeah
thanks
They're cute 🐣
Thanks for watching,
Awesome video!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Where did you buy that at
Tractor Supply. Thanks
The egg incubator was purchased at Tractor Farm Supply
What an awesome video!! Thank you! Keep on with your positive vibe!!!
Thank you, This was a fun experience to watch eggs hatch for the first time.
The yolk of an egg basically becomes the chick
I believe the yolk feeds the chick during development.
Do you wash your eggs first?
Are you all watching the same as me? I'm surprised any hatched with the lengh of time she was messing around with them during candling. The lighting around them was way too light anyway too make accurate judgement
Thank you for watching, the room was much more darker than it appears on camera due to the iris of the camera being wide open just to film.
I guess that you never made time to learn manners. She is learning and enjoying while performing this experiment. However, I am sorry for whatever happened in your life to make you bitter
Yes. Manners and in very short supply.
@@janetcalvert3959 wow I can imagine you sat there with your nose turned up. There's a difference between manners and honesty. I said nothing rude, bitter or untoward. I said what I seen, why do people get their backs up if someone has a different opinion? In life you got to deal with the fact we will have different thoughts and ideas, it comes with being a adult, and even though my comment wasn't bad I stand by it, get over it
@@river1927Miss Emma, my opinion was that you expressed yours in an unmannerd way, not that you held one I disagreed with. Reading comprehension must not be a strong suit you posses along with the painfully obvious lack of being able to express a criticism in a charitable, helpful, mature way. "Are you all watching the same as me." That bout sums it all up right there. And by the way sweetie, I do don't have anything to " get over."
