The chicken sits on top and does her best... I'm not sitting on top but I'm doing my best !! LOL I'm sorry that hit my funny bone. You had me cracking up my sons asking me what's so funny ! Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. God bless you and your family.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Glad you got a giggle.

[@cliffords.8341]

I about fell out of my chair laughing when Cassie said that! 🤣🙃🧓

[@venormux3635]

🤣🤣all by all good content, the info is so valuable, you got me buying a incubator too!

[@LadyJ5569]

I love that, the chicken sits on top and does her. I am not sitting on top but I am doing my best. You got this Cassie. God bless and stay safe 🙏❤ here's to those baby chicks 🐤 🐣🐤🐥🐣🐥🐤

[@AJayK610-18]

Yes my incubator jumps all around as well. But 75% is a good start

[@paulabutler9923]

Love how thorough you are explaining! Makes it easy to understand! Thank you for sharing, love your family videos! GOD Bless you all!!!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Thanks so much Paula. Hopefully it will help someone.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

We love incubating eggs!!! Our kids took ours to school when they were younger and their friends in Class loved watching the process!!! Great video!!!!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Fun!

[@leann4925]

Cassie I can se where this can be addicting. This is so awesome to watch as love seeing when the chicks hatch. Happy Hatching!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

It’s been fun!

[@jenniferlanigan8178]

My understanding on the higher humidity during lockdown is for easier hatching. Too dry and the chicks have a hard time extracting themselves. We have hatched chickens, ducks, and geese! So much fun.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Good info!

[@EddyFamilyFarm]

I love that little incubator that’s awesome.Still got the job done though.

[@chelemichele1524]

🤞 they all hatch happy healthy chicks.... Have a wonderful day 🍁🍁🍁

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

That's a neat little incubator. There are a lot of opinions to what the right ways are to hatch eggs. I've tried many different ways and always have success. Not always a 100% hatch rate. You're right a broody hen doesn't have all the fancy gauges and thermometer's, they just hatch them lol.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

We love this incubator so far!!

[@valfrasier39]

Yes, definitely take it to school. Can't wait to see new chicks!

[@mariagibson6299]

When I was growing up we used a little lamp and an inverted Kentucky fried chicken bucket upside down with a small hole in it lol we used what we had lol. Good times

[@WalkerFarmFam]

That’s awesome!!!

[@lindamarquis6117]

Cassie what a great idea to take the eggs to school so that the children can watch them hatch !

[@karenrogers2826]

Can’t wait to see the babies hatching. The students would love watching too.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Yes!

[@lindawall6504]

I think you are an amazing woman and what an awesome teaching tool! Dual purpose for sure. The incredible egg 🥚!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Linda you are too kind!

[@SilhouetteParkFarm]

I love hatching out chicks. We did a hatching video a month or so ago and it’s so much fun to watch them hatching. 🐣 We’ve had 7 chicks hatch today, have a few more hatching. Looking forward to seeing your new lil chicks. Great video!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Thanks so much!

[@happycampers7889]

Ahhh! The top tray comes out for hatching!!! Ooops. My poor chics are hatching and can barely stand up in there 🤦‍♀️

Interesting video thanks for sharing. Be safe and God bless 🙏 your family.

You too!!

[@kimcritchley8231]

I really enjoyed hatching eggs, if you turn them on their on side when you candle them you can see more movement sometimes

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Oh cool!

[@AuntieAnn]

I love that little hatcher! The attachment for candling is pretty cool 😀 I saw your Instagram post 👍👊

[@schnakenberglloydsue7313]

Great video Cassie!! Hope they all hatch!

[@Fig1942]

Always love your videos Cassie.

[@rosawilliams9145]

Happy Hatching. 🐣🐥🐤

[@connieblasingame7996]

You had the incubator open a long time....Good luck

[@DossFarm]

Well done. I think there are many different ways & routines to hatch em. Obviously just caring for them like y’all are doing will be what’s best. Great practice for the red bourbon Turkey eggs y’all are getting the spring as well! 😂

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Yessssss 🤫🤫🤫 Don’t tell Gary.

[@starlenekalinski5633]

What's really neat is sometimes when you're candling the eggs, the chick will either try to hide from the light or follow it. Depending on how the chick is laying, sometimes you can see wing feathers, feet or sumetimesyou can see the chick trying to peck at the membrane. They will start peeping before they hatch. It is very addicting! The eggs will move around, so don't worry about how the egg is laid on the screen, just have the large end up because the chick pecks at the highest point.

[@tanyajenkins919]

There so big by now Cassie it's pretty hard to see the babies move as there so tight like our babies before birth . . Can't wait til your babies start hatching . . I can't Waite to see the baby son to see it he's so adorable .

[@bobfuhr4520]

Yes day 18,full dark and very little movement. Can't wait.i had a pet chick,I sure miss him.

[@debbiew.7094]

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Awwww Lenny you are too kind!

[@andyteohockguan2235]

Awesome

[@Nicole-r1y2l]

Funny you say they feel heavier when in fact they should be lighter 😊 but it's now dead weight (not literally dead!) when it was liquid weight before. Idk.. trying to make sense of it!

[@Wattsupwithhybristophilia]

The eggs need airflow. I wouldn’t cover it with a towel. Good incubators have a little window you close halfway so the eggs get airflow. It’s worth it. Don’t skimp on the incubator. I did. Big mistake.

[@cliffords.8341]

Cassie, ask 5 people and get 10 answers! LMBO! 😆 Once you get the hang of it you'll be hatching eggs left and right. I enjoyed this video so much, that before I knew it, it was over! 🧓

[@WalkerFarmFam]

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks Clifford. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@cliffords.8341]

@@WalkerFarmFam Me too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🧓

[@JennJennPA]

*head desk* New to this too, BEEN DOING THE SAME THING. Glad i didnt do a derp derp one!

[@jpage3401]

Cassie, you need a hatching set up like the one Mary Carl fas at Cog Hill Farm. It's something.

[@PrepsteadingWithBelinda]

hey walker farm fam. it's been awhile I've been super busy with work and grandbabies but I'm watching and commenting now lol I have duck eggs in the incubator after candling it looks like only 2 of them did their thing. They are suppose to go on lock down Wednesday so we shall see what happens. One thing about hatching this time of year they have to stay in the house longer. well mine do I don't have a garage or anywhere outside to put them so ducklings will be in the house for awhile if they live and ducks are very much harder to incubate than chickens.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Thanks for watching! Hope your ducks do well!

[@douglassatterlee5608]

God bless Walker. Lockdown covid-19 lol

[@chrislecky710]

If i had the budget i would buy a sensitive microphone, its the likely method hens use to check their eggs and to be honest i got the impression the embryo really didn't enjoy the process of candling as it seemed to move away from the light as if it was scared or uncomfortable.

[@Samx1989]

I just use my phone toch light, saves on money but it's a good thing to do with the kids

[@CynBrown]

I hope they all hatch.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

🤞🏻

[@thisismeumbass]

good job mom.

[@connieblasingame7996]

you up your humidity during lock down so the eggs soften

[@WalkerFarmFam]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@vernhartjr]

Can you do a review on little train 8 egg incubator

[@alastair1955]

Made a mistake? Watched the whole thing cos I want to know the mistake, i wasted 13 minutes cos of misleading title.

It seems eyes work better than camera for candeling eggs.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Agree!!!

[@johnniebunton4978]

hello great video. how many quail eggs can you put in there.

[@WalkerFarmFam]

I haven’t filled it with quail eggs yet but probably 12...... maybe a few more.

[@rh5022]

Show temperature regulation

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Come on Cassie, sit on the eggs 😂

[@WalkerFarmFam]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@thefreese1]

I noticed that tou had the eggs sitting on a towel uncovered... I suggest throwing the towel in the dryer to warm it up a little and when you pull an egg out, immediately, candle and stick it in the towel and cover it ... have your water warmed up ... and out your eggs on the hatching tray... so this as fast as possible... you can have someone hold the camera to document the first one, then hussle with the rest ... do not let the eggs cool for a long period of time ... Not at this stage of the game ... they are almost fully developed chicks inside those eggs .. mama hen has body heat and moisture... and they can handle low heat when developing...mama hen takes breaks to eat, poop, and drink ... but towards the end you can't hardly pry her off the nest ..

[@CindyKinney]

It's always a learning curve, right?

[@WalkerFarmFam]

Yessss!

[@karionhawkins3091]

I used to hatch 24 eggs at a time and it was a little stinky at the end!

[@WalkerFarmFam]

😳 I don’t want a stinky house. LOL

[@karionhawkins3091]

I kept mine in the bathroom/tub and then would turn on the exhaust fan to air it out🤣

[@noahchancellor1451]

Hi

[@WalkerFarmFam]

👋🏼

[@Samx1989]

My mistake i heated the eggs after ten days which apparently you shouldn't do cause it will not work

[@chefpinot45]

Hy-DROM-eter. Accent on the 2nd syllable. Pronounced like "drama". First e is soft, like pet, net, etc. Sorry to be "that guy". Sometimes I can't stop myself. ❤

Okie accent 👍🏻😉

[@IkonicLionProductions]

Those eggs look fertile. Could see quite well. Hopefully ur chicks will pop out soon.

Glad you could see it!

LOL Well we don’t have fertile chicken eggs cause our rooster isn’t mature enough. Had to get these from Sawyer Ridge Farm but we got quail eggs. Ha!

Eek! You did it wrong. Now you'll hatch lizards, not chickens!
