Hey, sorry, I know I ask a lot of questions. We just got MORE chicks, and one of them looks really ill. The chicks were 2 days late to the store, and they were dying left and right there! Now one of our new buffs is just sitting there, peeping nonstop, it won't eat, it weighs nothing, it can...
Here are some sketches I have done. Please tell me if you have any suggestions to improve my sketches.
:bunWell, that is about 85% of my sketch book, It is actually really good for my age!
Our 1 day old chick that had "unabsorbed yolk" turned out to be prolapsing. We had to cull it because it was suffering and the other chicks were pecking it to death.
Okay, as some of you know, I had a chick that had unabsorbed yoke. We eventually HAD to put him in the brooder with the rest of the chicks. Well, they were picking at him like crazy!(or more or less the yolk) My mom got worried, and she tried washing the yolk,which also had egg shells stuck in...
My babies, there ALIVE!!!!!!!!Thanks to everybody's helpful advice, 21 hatched! We are still waiting on the other eggs, and the 21st one's still in the bator, it has what we have been told is unabsorbed yolk. There are more pics in the update in " Hatching and Incubating chicks"!!!!

OK, it is day 21, 5 pips, 15 chicks hatched, humidity fluctuating,(i think i spelt dat right?) and i was wondering is it normal for some not to have pipped yet? There was a total of 36 eggs. We would like to take some chicks out. We had one that pipped, zipped and is now dead. Not to mention...
Okay, everything was going great. It is the day before they are due, two of them already hatched, it was great! Then all of a sudden, the temp went down to 92 and the humidity boosted up 10-15%! we managed to get the humidity down and the temp up. However, my mom is working 11 to 11 tonight and...
I know i'm not supposed to post the same thing twice, but we just went from 6 pips to 10 pips in 2 min. a day early and 69% humidity! I don't know what to do with the humidity and my mom wants to open it and i don't know!!! Help me!
Hey, Our chicks are due tomorrow! there are five peeps and it is 68% humidity. My mom wants to open it to let some of the humidity out, but i think it is a bad idea. What should we do?!?!?!?!?
Okay, so my friend who is also a chicken lover is moving to tennessee, and i am in charge of making a huge cake. The party theme is southern, ofcourse, and there is gonna be cowboy hats and hoedown food. I am thinking about this....my idea is that i will make one chocolate layer of cake with a...
Hey, I haven't posted in a while, I have been too busy to go on BYC. We have our first pips! We had originally had 42 eggs in the bator, but we had 6 quitters. Oh, and they are due to hatch TOMORROW!!!! Now, all we have to do is . Wish us luck on a good hatch!
Hey, we are hatching chicks, and we heard a peep at day12! Is that a normal thing, or is that early? i do not know. Oooh, and the chicks were moving around alot in there eggs when we last candled! 8 days until due hatch!
Starting tomorrow, we get to yet again go through the exciting adventure of hatching chicks!! However, I've got a question, if we want around 25 chicks, realistically how many eggs should we inc?
You see, we live near a bird sanctuary and the guy who owns it set free a HALK near our property. Not only that, but this halk is not scared of people because he was nursed back to health BY HAND. He comes every day and tries to get my chickens. In the 1 to 2 years that we have had chickens we...
