It's a shame really as she was quite deformed. Not fair on the poor thing though to let her love like that and no doubt get bullied by the others. Thanks for the advice and tips guys much appreciated !!
I didn't even think about looking for two embryos whilst candling. Phew I have a lot to learn still. Loving this though. I have three beautiful hens and I want more!!
Oh wow I did not know that!! I will have to keep a look out next time. I'm a novice with hatching, what is the dry method? I put my eggs into an incubator with humidity levels and heat levels at correct temp. All chicks came out live and well.
Just to say thanks for advice. Spoke to local farm where I got the eggs and they suggested to cull it. She was becoming weak and couldn't stand up. Very sad to do but best for her. Trying to upload a pic for you to see. Thanks again
She can't really stand up well, leans forward as there is a large lump underneath her then the two legs. The extra legs do not actually move they are curled up. But she is sprightly and well. I need to go out to work but once I'm back I will upload a picture. The only thing I'm worried about is...
Please someone help me! This is the second time I have raised chicks from an incubator. Three chicks this time round - the first two hatched within a few hours from pipping. Perfect looking balls of fluff. My third took a full 48 hours but managed to.come out of the shell BUT she has four...
