Oh no! I'm so sorry

Awesome job, congrats!!

Aww so cute!

Adorable! Congrats!

Sorry I haven't been posting much, been recovering from a minor surgery. But I wanted to thank you all for your excellent advice. We are in the midst of our second hatch and it is going great, thanks to tips from all of you. 11 of 22 eggs made it to lockdown, and so far all but 1 egg have...

Amy - your silkies are so adorable! And congrats on your surprise chicks! I'm sorry you may have to cull one, that's never easy.

Nevermind, she's free!

My second batch of chicks just started hatching. This guy seems to be attached to the shell still by an umbilical cord and is stuck dragging the shell. What should I do?

Woohoo! That is exciting!!

Actually it's still air. It has a digital thermometer but I had a glass thermometer in there to double check. I think I'll throw another thermometer in there, just to be safe!!

So sorry your hen didn't make it! I've seen them bounce back from bad wounds and die from seemingly nothing. It all depends on the bird I guess.

The temps were consistent at 100-101. The temp would drop when we took them out to candle, but it was back up to temperature in minutes. I'm worried because I have another batch going, but these are from different chickens. I want to make sure it's not something I did!

I just candled the last 5 eggs - ONE has internally piped, and the other 4 are moving, but no pips! I am at a...

Last night my husband and I quickly candled the last 6 eggs last night - all still moving! In fact, one had pipped on the bottom of the egg (probably from the chick footballing eggs before she was dry), and the underside of the egg was SOAKED. That egg had a paper-thin shell so I'm worried it...

I wish they laid pink eggs! They lay brown eggs sadly, lol. And I'm glad your son's doing well. What a bummer to have a broken limb in the summer!
