OK thanks is it too late for the eggs I already have or can I warm them up and see if they hatch? They don't look like they have any fungus or anything on them
Not sure if this is the right group for this question, but I am trying to raise some crickets, and have a few questions. . . Hopefully someone will have some advice for me. First, they have food and water and stuff to climb on/in. I put a container of moist dirt in and they laid eggs in it, but...
I used to have zebra finches and would love to get some again, or any other type of Finch (society, red ear, etc). We are in Ohio, about 30 minutes west of Columbus. If you have any or know of any, please let me know Thank you
I just put my second batch in yesterday, they are due the 17th also. I have some EE's, BR's, and some SLW and New Hamshire Reds, some of which may be crossed with other breeds. I have a total of 37 eggs in! My first batch was 24 eggs, 8 werent fertile, 13 out of the 16 hatched. And 10 of...
I would like to hatch some duck eggs, and maybe some turkey eggs, but I didn't know if you can put them in at the same time with chicken eggs? I know they take a week longer than chicks, and I heard that duck eggs need higher humidity, but can you hatch them together? I am putting some chicken...
Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I was having computer problems. I found out about the wing sexing on BYC, but this is the first time I have used it, so I don't know a whole lot about it. But it seemed to be consistent with the sexed ones at TSC. When they are a few days old, the easiest for...
I had 13 chicks hatch on Saturday, and by using the wing growth method to determine sex, one is a boy, one I am not sure, and the rest are girls. Has anyone else had that happen? I always thought it would be about half and half.
I just candled my eggs this morning, out of 24 it looks like about 15 are growing. I think some of them weren't fertile, since I was switching the rooster back and forth a bit between the two coops. And it was also kind of cold when I was collecting the eggs. So if I get 15, I will be more...
I got some chicks last spring, some of which were Buff Orpingtons, and I had one of them go broody on a nest that just had one wooden egg in it - and she wasn't even a year old yet! I am hoping at least one of them will go broody this spring, to hatch some eggs for me
I have 24 eggs in the 'bator, due March 13. It is my first hatch. I haven't candled them yet to see if any are fertile, but I hope at least some of them are!
I would like to hatch some duck eggs, if my chicken eggs hatch. Do they need different temps and stuff? maybe I will see if one of my hens will go broody and hatch the ducks for me. . . . .
