Thanks for the response. I just gave him a shot of tylan, tried to get him to eat. His wattle appears normal, just the tips of his comb. Interestingly, I have several different breeds housed separately in my barn, he is the only one with frostbite that I can tell. I would almost describe...

My roo is 2 1/2 yrs old, a LF cochin. I noticed a few days ago that his comb has been frostbite, it's cold here in Cincinnati! Today when I was feeding, I noticed he is huddled in the corner, crowing this random strange crow, for him. It's wimpy and scratchy, usually loud and robust. I...

How many do you have? Do u have any pics? Have u an idea of how much for entire flock?

I'm confused, 2 hens 1 clutch? Have the eggs been sat on by the broody for the same amt of time. Any other eggs starting to pip or hatch? Iare both hens still broody on those eggs? That baby is cold and needs to be warmed. I prolly would stick it under one of the hens..

I bought a few hens at a swap one time. They were silkies, and heavily foot feathered. Bought them late summer. Late fall I put all silkies inside in a coop. Soon one of them was limping. WaSnt sure why, looked at it carefully, couldn't see a prob. Eventually, it's foot fell off...

I live near Cincinnati. Could take some. Have plenty of room

I've had good hatches and bad hatches, u gotta figure out why in order to fix prob. That means u gotta look at insides of the eggs. First, temp has to be accurate and consistent, cannot vary. Get 2good thermometers and calibrate. I know my body temp is about 98.3, thats what I use to ck...

I've hatched many eBay eggs. When I receive them, try to pick up from po to minimize their travel damage, I unwrap, place in an egg carton pointy side down, in a quiet area. Just let's things settle down for a day or so..the sooner u start, sooner u get chicks! In my mind, a 50%hatch is a...

Could it be cold? Do u have a heat source? Also, I raise my young ones on wire, so they don't eat yuckie stuff. Have u tried to worm it?

Hatching eggs yet?

due to unknown fertility. And cold weather in cinti. I offer. 6 dollars

I Like to run mine on the higher side, around 100.5 lots of different opinions, but it works for me. i think the humidity is the more difficult "optimum" level to achieve. you want to maintain a constant temp what ever you decide is the best to hold, and before setting eggs, give it a...
