Hi I made the home made incubator and have just hatched 4 chicks out of 7 eggs. They are all healthy and fine. Thanks for all the advice.

Hi The guy selling the chicks should know better. Chicks are much better with company. I would go get it a little friend.

Hi Yes I tried the method above and the live eggs will bob around like mad so you have to be very quick to get them back out.

Ok Thanks just wanted to be sure. Can you tell if its a he/she. Its a right character.

Hi We are in Christchurch on the South Island. It has been warm here today about 24oC. But then it can drop to around 16 some days. The two I hatched were free range eggs I bought from the side of the road just to see what happened. They are 2 black chicks and I'm pretty sure they are Polish...

Hi I have two chicks that are five days old. One has had a slightly crooked neck for a couple of days and now has started putting her head between her legs and running backwards till she falls over. Then she gets up and walks normaly for a bit. The other is totaly healthy but will it be ok on...

Ok Thanks will do.

Hi Yes they could well be pollish or silkie, the eggs were small and a creamy colour. The only problem is only one out of the two has the bump on its head. Would this mean its a boy and a girl.

Hi I have just bought some starter feed but it has no instructions. Could you tell me if i'm ment to add water or feed it dry as its quite dusty. Thanks

Hi yes you could be right. They were very small eggs and a creamy colour. Only problem is only one out of the two has it, could that mean they are a boy and a girl. It is very strong and it picks one the other a bit, it is also very noisy. I would add a picture but not sure how too.
