Thanks ... I just feel really horrible that I can’t do more

Hi, I posted the other day about my 4 eggs that were abandoned by their momma and I tried to save by putting them in a homemade incubator because it was all I could do at the time. Well, the other day I had to assist a chick hatch... she lived for about a day and then passed in her sleep. Two...

I candled the other eggs yesterday and they look great :)

I kept the temps as regular as possible! It's been a pretty long time, maybe 6 or so years, since I've incubated eggs so I don't have any of the proper equipment anymore. The temps were roughly 95 to 105 degrees. I had a little bit of trouble keeping the humidity stable, but it ranged from the...

Thanks guys.... I'm feeling a bit more encouraged. Big blue (she was our big blue egg!! haha) is seemingly doing better now. She is chirping away, and managed to get most of the gunk off herself, but the stuff closest to her body is still there. I do think something might be wrong with her leg...

I had 2 broody hens, who after several failed hatches, decided to abandon their eggs. I was able to save 4 eggs and quickly made a homemade incubator to put them in. I had no idea really how far along the eggs were, but I knew this one "big blue" was very close. This all happened about a week...

Thanks! I thought the comb was weird.... just assumed it meant a Roo!

Any thoughts on my 7 wk old silkies??? I am thinking white & orange are hens and black possibly a roo?

Silkies are now 7 weeks old now.... any thoughts on gender??? I am thinking the white & orange are hens and the black is a roo?

Thank you but I found a home for them

I need to rehome 2 of my polish chicks :( They are approx 7 wks old, and unsexed although I'm inclined to think they are roos They are very friendly and outgoing with people but very dominant with other chicks..... not a good fit for us They are free to a good home but you must be able to pick...
