    Is that corn or berries? It looks similar to raccoon scat.

    It's adorable. I feel bad for the hen when the chicks peck at her eyes though.

    Word of advise: make sure the chicks can't get over to the "other mother". Not all hens, but I have lost chicks to a protective mama hen that recognizes it's not one of her babies.

    You can candle them at night and see if they might hatch.

    Yay! And I don't have to get my butt going as soon! Yep, it's supposed to be a bad one! I'm so sorry. PM me if you ever have questions. My grandmother has had dementia for about 7 years now. She is in the advanced stages now, and is very seldom the person she used to be. She is 92 and her...

    So many different colors! Color of the membrane? You can try putting it in a tea cup, so it can't move around.

    It does get easier, as you figure out what works for you. You have to learn to manage your incubator, humidity, temperature, etc for your area. I still get nervous during lockdown until I hear peeping, but that's it. My broodies hatch a lot, and that is WAYYYYY easier. I have standard...

    That's not too high, they should be fine. (provided your thermometer is accurate) I've waxed eggs before, but they never made it to lockdown. My idea would be leave it alone and see how it does, it may still hatch on it's own.
