Well we only had one hatch. So picking up 2 blue Silkies today. I do have 24 more eggs coming next week. I think I was too much haha on. So after a week and the sir cells reattach I'm going to out the automatic Turner on all I don't have to touch them as much. Well see how well that works out.
I am pretty sure my chickens have a respiratory infection going on. They are making like a gargling noise and every once in awhile catch one sneezing. Our livestock vet doesn't deal with chickens. I already called. So what can I treat with? I did pick up some Vetrx from TSC. will this work? or...
We have a little more progress. Right was at 7 am. Left was around 1pm. It's 7pm now. When should there be now progress before I should start to worry? We lost one :( it does start internally pipping. It internally pipped last night. And was dead this morning.
2 internal pips. One other still moving. I had 3 with the weird veining and those 3 are no longer moving so I think they died. Hoping tomorrow we'll have chicks. Not sure how long after internal pip they usually hatch.
I did a quick check this morning since I had to open up to wet the sponges anyway. We have 1 that's close to internally pipping. I will be opening the lid anymore though. Any water added will be added from outside.
Thank you. I have had really good luck with dry hatching my own eggs. And incubating shipped eggs upright in cartons. So decided to comb I ne the two and dry hatch shipped eggs upright. Honestly I'm not too upset with the amount that made it to lockdown. I have another 6 eggs co.ing as well .
Lock down is today. 13 were shipped.
5 never developed. Lost 2 around 7 days. I'm left with 6. One of those I'm not sure about. Didn't see movement today. But kept it in anyway.
Hatching upright in carton. Increasing humidity to 60%
Your welcome! I couldn't find anything on this. Which is why I created this thread. I'm only on day 8. I'll candle tonight and see what I have going on.
So I got some silkie eggs from show lines.i was where'd Becca's being shipped from Florida.. Day 2 and already 9 of them are developing! I want even looking for development.i was checking the air cells.
Anyone here grow strawberry plants? I started last year. I put straw over them over the winter. Do I wait until end of may to remove the straw so they don't get frost damage? Or when do I remove the straw?
Thanks! Just wanted to make sure it looked right. There was scoby when I moved, though. I'll just keep feeding until it ferminds and keep adding more once I get down to 1/4 of the bucket left. That's what I always did before. This it's called back splashing.
Started 2 batches for all my outside birds. Does this look correct? This is after stiring and feeding some to the chickens. But it also looks about the same the next morning after starting.
