They are trying to hatch

[Turkeyboy44]

Well I decided to try and hatch some chicken eggs and I put 24 eggs into the incubator and to day was day 18. So the turner comes out and it hasn't been out for 5 hours and they are starting to peep and crack the shells we will see what happens with the next few days. Only 17 where fertal

One thing I learned incubating eggs.

Was not to remove the lid at all the last several days

Especially with turkey eggs.

Mortality rate goes way down when the humidity is released.

Today's fun fact. There's more chickens on Earth than people.

TB44,  what breed of chicken you got there?

[Turkeyboy44]

The are Reds and Rocks

[Ms Grit]

I love hatching my own eggs.  Have done it several times, only Reds though.  You just can't beat fresh eggs from your own chickens.  Please post more pictures . . .
