  • Since my Lavender Orpingtons are laying, I decided to set our small incubator. Hatching your own chickie babies is an incredibly fun experience and great education for you and your kids. If you'd like to see more videos on this, candling eggs, hatching eggs, broody hens and how I set up my brooders-be sure to check my full chicken playlist! Lots to see there! Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much for all the info! We just put 27 of our chickens eggs into an incubator and it's quite the learning curve. Fingers crossed we're doing it right. Right now I'll be super happy with a 50% hatch rate. So scared that we're getting the temperature wrong. We've got three different thermometers and all three have different readings, But one is a calibrated meat thermometer and I'm trusting that one the most!

    Hi Patara, what do you use to clean your incubator after the eggs have hatched and to prepare for the next group of eggs? I am excited to report that your videos helped me hatch my first 8 eggs this week. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to sharing your knowledge with us all.

    Patara, when these eggs hatch, you should set more in the bator on March 5th so that they hatch the Saturday before Easter.

    Were the eggs you put in the incubator laid that day? If not, how many days after they are laid are they still candidates for hatching?

    So to rotate the eggs you remove the lid, rotate and place the lid back on. Also how much of a rotation, just a smudge each time or rotate to the bottom then too mark and so on?

    Update on my new Magicfly incubator: 100% hatch rate on the first try! 7 out of 7 chicken eggs hatched, right on schedule. This incubator is great! Kept it on my kitchen counter so I didn't have to run up and down the stairs every time I had to turn the eggs. It's quiet and doesn't take up a lot of space. One point to mention is that if you go on Amazon and read the reviews about this incubator, some people mention that their hatch rates were not that great. But, we need to remember that all of the eggs may not be fertile. You can only accurately determine hatch rate if you are certain that your eggs are fertile and also, that they haven't been sitting around in extremely high or low temperatures. I am very happy with this incubator, and I highly recommend it! I also purchased the egg candler, and I am very pleased with it as well. Thanks Patara!

  • @darlenelester9577

    After collecting eggs, how long can they sit on the counter before going into the incubator, and still work?

  • @VNicolosi1

    our manual didn’t say anything about keeping the humidified !
    I have been squirting water on the eggs.
    I hope we didn’t blow it 😳

    We bought the MajicFly Incubator too! We just received our 10 Silkie eggs in the mail today. I see that MajicFly Incubator is already set to the 38 degrees. Do you alter your temps as the eggs progress or does the machine do it automatically? These instructions are so hard to understand.

    I am trying out my Magic fly incubator for the first time. One thing I am confused about. Do you only put water in the inner ring? I read a lot of confusing information on the internet. One person said to add water to outer ring and the inner ring right before lockdown. Do you recommend this? Thanks so much I learn so much from your videos. If anyone else knows please comment. I know Pater is in the middle of moving. Thanks!

    Hi Appalachia's Homestead! Do you have any thought about raising different kinds of poultry in the same coop? Like chickens and turkeys,quail,pheasants or even guinea fowl. I really value your opinion and was wondering what your idea about that was.

    • @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara
      @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara  8 років тому +2

      +Deer Hollow Forge I know folks that have all of these together! I do not simply because I just do have them. I want Guineas but with training an LGD right now TO poultry-that might derail our training. I would recommend more homework and being ready to raise them together rom the get go. Also... always have a back up plan to separate simply bc things happen... I hope this helps! xo

    • @deerhollowforge8129
      @deerhollowforge8129 8 років тому

      +Appalachia's Homestead I have found the wyandotts to be very assertive and likely to become a pecking problem ={ like all chickens you cant seem to summarize the attributes of the the individual chicken based only on the breed. but im sure you know that lol!

    • @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara
      @appalachiashomesteadwithpatara  8 років тому +2

      Mine have been very humble in my barn... but that's due to probably being around other more assertive breeds. Now, the roosters... that's a totally different issue. I will not have another Wyandotte fella... ;-)

      That sounds like a potential "body check" where she corrected the egg after stress occurs. Check to see if she could be stressed. 👍🐔

    @nabildiab9628 8 років тому +1

    Before putting the eggs in the incubator you should candle them and if they are fertile they have a air sack if they aren't fertile they will not have an air sack . And you should have one rooster for six chickens . That is all .

    • @RubysZoo
      @RubysZoo 7 років тому +7

      Nabil Diab
      That's not true at all. Eggs, whether fertile or not, will have an air sack. And it should be 1 rooster per 12 hens.

    • @steez_rocky4472
      @steez_rocky4472 6 років тому +2

      You don’t candle eggs till day 10 and like Ruby’s zoo said all eggs fertile or not have an air sack.
