I have the same problem with a 2dayold chick. Any suggestions from the group?

Everything that could go wrong with this incubation happened! Fertilized eggs were delayed because of unexpected snow storm, eggs arrived when it was freezing outside, then my incubator was overheating. Concluded it was broken, got a new one that arrived today! Temp and humidity were fine! Set...

I need a few Mille Fleur D'Ucle chickens or other bantams breeds. I ended up with too many males only and no girls. My boys are 12weeks old. If anyone has some young females to sell, let me know. I am in Sullivan county New York state. Northern New Jersey, Orange county or NYC metropolitan...

Anyone expecting for May 23rd? First time hatching bantam's eggs I got from a friend. I have 12 developing chicks, hopefully they all come out!

Hi Melissa, glad to know all is better now. just a quick note to let you know that I hatched 5 beautiful chicks from the eggs I got from you. they are now two weeks old and so far, it looks like I got 4 girls and one boy. 2 girlsd are salmon and 2 are a bit darker, but noen of them have the...

I have the same question? One of my chicks has most of the feathers compared to the others born from the same batch, but is much smaller than her peer. Otherwise she appears normal. Any suggestions?

I knew I was in trouble

she looks like a Faverolles mix to me. Feathered legs, beard, the color is not perfect. the face is also not perfect. Does she lay cream-colored eggs?

I have 5 Faverolles chicks that hatched last wednesday. They are a lot of fun and started eating like crazy. The only thing is that since yesterday, they started to be very loud peeping non-stop until I ( or any human indeed) approaches their brooder. Then will be quiet, run towards me and start...

My chicks are 2 day old. I will be going to the country this afternoon and I am a bit concerned in leaving the chicks alone at home. Although they will be well protected in their brooder, my cat will stay home too. Which could be a disaster!!! is it reasonable to take them with me (2 hours...

Hi Savethefavs, Update, I have now 5 beautiful faverolles chicks. One more just started pipping (day 23). I still have 5 more eggs, hopefully they will hatch. I will post pictures when they are all out. They are really pretty with their beards and all 5 toes.

Hi, I think it is normal, very slow process. I had 2 born yesterday afternoon, 2 born last night, one born today! Checked the eggs and noticed that there is one more pipping. I also had one that started piping, was almost completely out but died in the process...I think, because I can see part...

I got 4 beautiful faverolles chicks! Out of 11 eggs, the other seven eggs show no sign of acitivity. I will keep them in the incubator for another day, candle then to see if there is any sign of live. Anyway I am very happy and so are my kids!

3 pippeds, one is already out of its shell! this is so exiting! The other eggs are just there! No moviment...so far. They were peeping like crazy yesterday night when still inside the egg. Update; I got 5 beautiful chicks! One died while piping. the shell was almost open, but it never zipped.

I have one that just zipped out of the shell and is now bumping into all the other eggs. Oh my! it is also very loud!!!!! One of the eggs is now upside down, I mean the pipping hole! I think this is normal. 2 more have pipped. I am so glad I thought this was going to be a bad day for me.

Thanks lotsapaints thanks for your reassurance. I keep watchinh them...it is fun anyway...hopefully there will be more pips as the day progresses.

I got two pips this morning out of 11 eggs. There was a lot of noise yesterday, I had the impression that more chicks would be trying to get out. I am still concerned that it the loud chicks of yesterday may be gone. How much long their airsacs will provide for them?

Please someone give me some info. Today is day 21, the chicks were peeping inside the eggs, however, a few minutes later, no more sounds, nobody pipped...are they dead? is it normal? This is nerve raking...

Quote: If you're temps average lower than 99.5 then the hatch is likely late. I've had a few go until day 23 and then still have a normal hatch. Thanks! I will check the temperature again. I do not have a digital termometer, I am not sure of the precise temperature. All I know is that I...

Quote: I am right there with you. This is my first. I even put my ear to the bottom of the nesting box. Not even a bump. Although I could hear the mom's heart beating. That was kinda cool. I waited for her to get up and nothing looks to be doing much. . Having a hard time consentrating...
