Incubated Eggs

Recommended Posts

I've just bought The beginners incubator, The R-Com 3 that holds 3 eggs and is easy for kids to use :P Very convinient For Me. Anyway we put these 3 eggs in, and After candling them on the 12th day Only One Actually had a Chick inside, with all the veins In.

It was supposed to hatch yesterday, I'm not sure if i can hear a Tapping inside, or whether I'm Imagining it... Its been growing, so it hasn't died, unless its died within the past 36 hours. It there nothing more I Can Do, Only Wait And Hope? :roll:

I've Been checking the Humidity, everything Seems to be in order. Maybe The Chicks Died :cry: But like i said it has been growing. The Humidity is right, We haven't been handling it much really, but its The Auto egg turn incubator So we haven't damaged the egg...

I Suppose Its just the case of Wait To See what happens, But if anyone Else has any other information, Since this is our first time with Incubating eggs I Need as much help And info As Possible :)

 

Thankyou xx

I had one of these incubators last year. Very excitedly I put 3 eggs in the incubator and 3 under a broody hen. The 3 under then hen hatched but the 3 in the incubator did not. I gave them an extra week before taking the eggs out. When I opened the eggs all three chicks were fully formed so I gave the company (Brinsea, I think) a call. I explained what had happened and the lady I spoke to said that it was probably a case of the humidity level not being correct. As this was an "idiot proof" incubator, ie with auto turning and supposedly self regulating humidity I took the incubator back and got a refund.javascript:emoticon(':cry:')

 

Sorry, my experience wasn't any more rewarding/successful than yours!

I've heard a lot of bad reports about these incies I'm afraid :( . If you can hear tapping or cheeping then obviously it's a good sign. If it does hatch are you going to try and find another day old chick to keep it company? It's not very fair to keep a lone chick so most people get another as they need company (that's another reason the 3-egg incubators come under criticism - you've got more chance of hatching only 1 :( )
