There is also a possibility that the baby chick didn't hatch out of the egg in time. So it pooped. Causing an infection in the yolk. So the body rejects it. Causing that part of their tummy to pop out a bit when they do hatch out fully. Because the body would have difficulty absorbing something...

The same thing happened to one of my checks too. I don't know what it is exactly. Did you ever find out?

That can be caused by coming out too early, or it's a genetics. If you tried pulling the chick out of the shell; that can cause it to. Chicks like that, actually cannot survive, but it's difficult. You have to make sure that their environment is moist enough. And that you have to keep it (that...

Sometimes it is also because of genetics. There could've been something wrong with the check. Their lungs weren't fully formed or another organ. Their are many probabilities if the chick dies before hatching.

Actually, I have found out from experience. That if a chick dies after it has already picked and broken part of the shell it could be because there wasn't enough humidity and they choked because their lungs were still developing/getting used to, to handling regular air. (this happened with one...

MinnesotaNice - Normally you don't help chicks hatch, because the ones that don't almost always have a health problem and die anyway. In some cases people have helped some chicks hatch. But you would have to be there the entire time whenever they start peeping to when they hatch. Normally after...

gksym077 If the power goes out for longer then 1 to 1 1/2 hours your chance of hatching is very low or non existent. Because, if it were done naturally, the hen would only leave for 1 to 1 1/2 hours tops and always return. Otherwise the eggs can get way too cold and they can die. On a rare...

Same; (but I have to wait a while, just have some other chicks coming in November) but, how much would it cost for just 6 eggs and sent to clovis new mexico 88101?

To the origional poster: Way to go on getting that far! Though I'm sorry your chick didn't make it in the incubator. For anyone else reading, From what I've heard and read, normally chicks that have been incubating in a bra Does Not make it long if you put them in an incubator, and you need to...

If the air cell is too small it means you have too high of a humidity. You can put a piece of paper towel or some sort of cloth next to it to make sure that it doesn't get too much humidity.

I know that the big orangish red one is a rhode island red (most likely a rooster), and the two cream tinted and black feathered two are golden spangled hamburgs (1 male and 1 female), the other 5 are bantams (4 females and 1 roo 'the black one'). For the bantam breeds- 1 possible very light...

-March 29, 2015 With 8 chicks hatched so far!

Thank you! A D'Anver is 'rose combed' and 'clean legged' And A D'Uccle is 'single combed' and 'feather legged' They both are feather legged and the single comb. So I guess they are D'Uccle's lol I had gotten them with one other out of a bin as mixed bantams with 2 plymouth rocks and 1 road...

Here are the origional survivors! Ruby She had gotten her name, because her feathers had, had a red tint. But then she had her first molt and went lighter. Not sure what breed she is though. I had gotten her by this Mexican family that couldn't take care of her and her deceased sister Rainbow...

Thank you. I was getting worried about them to.

March 10th, 2015 Emilin finally started to play in the water! Thanks to the new ducklings. And the little ones are growning very well. And my also new two guinea since Febuary 2015 are...

Here's a picture of Minx 8 days after she had gone broody. I made sure to put food inside the medium sized dog carrier and water on the gate door to it. She still didnt eat or drink from it till day15. Though she did sneak out to nibble on a little bit and get water out there. The most...

Exactly that. It was the one weekend that I wasn't there. That my dad watched over my flock. Then we had quite the windy storm that blew us away. The wind had been so strong that it blew open the door via the air condictioned water back wall. My flock of ducks and chickens had gotten attacked...

They are bantams, that I know. I got them on March 25th. So they might be 7 or 8 days old. The tricky part is that they were labled mixed bantams! So I am clueless ^-^ They are almost 100% beautiful orangish red all over with a little bit of brown. And on their back is a semi stark contrast...
