So love watching you and Eleanor candling eggs she is so bright for her age and even that precious angels teaches so much. I hope you will 'candle' more its so fun to watch the movement in the eggs
What a cute girl🥰🥰🥰 loved the vid!
Best video ever for learning how to hatch eggs!!! Eleanor is so sweet and smart!!! 8 more days to see what me and my little farmer make!!
Oh Goldie, I was rooting for your eggstra surprise from CogHill. Maybe she can go a courting? 😅🤷♀️
I really enjoyed this, thank you 🕊
Us too! But that’s ok. We’ve got a little Serama rooster from Cog Hill that we call Tiny Tim Jr.. He looks a lot like his dad (Tim) and will be a good mate for Goldie and a few other Serama girls.
Thanks so much for being here! We will have lots more hatching videos in the coming months! It’s going to be so much fun!
I like seeing how you candle eggs. It looks like you will have a good hatching. 💖💖💖
What a beautiful family project.... And Eleanor is so beautiful and smart... You guys have done one awesome job... Loved the video y'all...🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜🐓🐓🐣🐣🐤🐤
Aww thank you so much! She is our calling and purpose at this stage in life. We love her and being her parents! Thanks so much for being here with us!
That is so fun. Hope Goldie's egg has a baby in it. Sorry about Goldie egg, looks like you are going to have lots of new chicks.
That’s ok! Goldie is a very special little hen and will have plenty of opportunity to raise chicks soon 😊 this clutch should be a good one with several pretty silkie babies! We will have hundreds of chicks hatch in the spring (most of them will be for folks all around the country who order chicks from us), so stick around for that EGGcitement 😉
Thank you for the education on chick hatching !!! I just started raising chickens , so I I get a broody one I’ll know what to do ❤️
No problem! Thank you for being here with us! We will have a lot of hatching videos and updates throughout the next 6 months as we hear back up for spring hatching season. We run a small specialty hatchery and typically have chicks hatching weekly in the spring 😊
Thats great can't wait for the chicks to hatch, love watching new life. 💖💖🙏🙏
We've seen it hundreds of times now and it's exciting every time! Thank you for watching :)
That was a great video. Very exciting time to hatch these babies. Looking forward to the LIVE next week. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thanks so much for being here with us, Doris! We are excited to share this hatch with everyone and will have lots of hatching videos and pictures as we get closer to spring 😊
The magnetic counter is brilliant I would love one
We’re working on having them available for purchase on our website soon! Shipping prices have been a bit of a challenge so we’re working to make that as affordable as possible.
Was so cool when I hatched my Turkeys. Really a neat experience to see life created.
It really is amazing! Aaaand addictive 😅 at one point last year we had 5 or 6 incubators going at once. Now we’ve got our big cabinet incubator and typically have 4 or 5 clutches of eggs incubating at once during the spring and early summer.
Lovely video , will watch you Live on Monday ❤
I learned some things that I didn't know about hatching. Thank you.🥰
Yay! I'm glad we could share it with you. Thank you for watching!
❤️
I've got greenfire eggs hatching on Monday aswell good luck
Wonderful video this morning. I ‘m glad Eleanor got some eggs .I love chickens, they are so interesting. God bless, keep healthy.
Thank you! We're mesmerized every time!
Loved watching this process and I learned so much. If I were still a teacher I would definitely try hatching eggs.
Thank you Sharon!
Sorry 2nd post -air cell? The eggs I have are on the side.there is no way to put them on end? Blood line? How long can they stay in there or should I take them out if they actually hatch? Thx so much for this info.
👍💜
I really want to hatch more eggs right now but it is winter so I have to wait 4 months 😩
Ok well I'm confused lol I was saying how I need to hatch out my own chicks because my old one stop laying..my son bought me a 6 egg incubator lol more than enough for me BUT it is for a classroom..its all manual.i have a lil bottle to keep water in it n a handle to turn it I have to open it to spray the eggs ( directions) so did I mess it up? They don't smell rotten but sometimes smell dry?? And the lil thing that the eggs go in to turn doesn't come out😔 ideas? Suggestion?
No problem! I will answer both comments here. Manual isn't bad if you have time, patience, and energy to keep up with everything. When we use our old incubator that doesn't have an autoturner, we turn our eggs about a quarter turn every 2 or 3 hours during the day, for a total of around 5 turns (one right before bed and the first one of the day while the coffee is brewing in the morning 😉).
Do you have a way to measure the relative humidity in the incubator? Ideally you want to keep the humidity around 35-40% during the first 18 days, but this time period is very forgiving (though if humidity is consistently too high during this period it can lead to loss of chicks because the egg needs to lose a certain amount of liquid to the air around it during this time; try not to get too caught up in this). For the final three days (often called lock down), don't turn your eggs and try to keep the humidity around 65-70%.
If you are more than 10 days into the hatch you can quickly and carefully use a flashlight to "candle" the eggs like we do in this video to see if anything has been growing inside.
Don't worry about removing the turning thing, just don't turn them for the last 3 days.
The aircell will typically be attached to the blunt end of the egg, and should stay attached unless the egg gets jostled or dropped. Most aircells will even remain attached when eggs are shipped through the mail. This clutch of eggs is being incubated on their sides as well. Our cabinet incubator keeps them up and down and tilts them instead of turning them, but our small incubators roll them on their sides.
The blood line we are talking about is a ring around the inside of the egg that you can see when candling some eggs that stop developing in the first few days.
Chicks can stay in the incubator for around 24 hours if you don't want to risk opening the incubator while eggs are still hatching. We typically leave them in there until they are all fluffed out and dried off at least. The chicks have enough nutrition left from the egg yolk to live for 2-3 days without food or water, but 24 hours is a good rule.
Hope this helps! We will be going live at 5pm CST today (11/30) and will be glad to talk about some of this on the live if you happen to be on!
Thanks for being here with us!
How do you tell an egg is fertile when you crack them?
An egg that's been fertilized has a white bullseye shape on the yolk, non fertile will just have a white dot. Here's a visual example: www.fresheggsdaily.blog/2015/02/are-my-chicken-eggs-fertile.html
@@HeadFamilyFarm thank you! We have a young rooster and he acts like he is doing his job and wondered how to tell without incubating. Next time we crack eggs gonna check them out!!
❤️
Thank you for watching!
