peeping

Hi all, I tried asking this as a response to another post so as not to have too many threads going at once but not getting any replies, so sorry for the duplication here - I have 15 eggs in the incubator on day 23. I was about to take them out and discard them this morning and tapped on them one...

Hi there, I’m new to the site. I have 5 Rouen ducklings (8 days old) that have warmed up to Me since I got them Friday. They eat crumbles from my hand and nibble at my fingers, I’m talking to them a lot since I work from home and their brooder is in my office with me all day. A couple of them...

But not a single one is chirping, not even if I play baby ducks hatching on my phone. They respond to light and noise by moving. But they are just silent. Is this normal? I expected to hear a lot of chirping through the shell when they pipped. And I’m positive they pipped, I put them on...

Its been 3 days since my incubator. Hatched 5 noisy guineas... Ive litteraly gone crazy.. .those little monsters peep louder than a shotgun... Thier voice is like a fork on china.... But they have good temperature food and water so they are just peeping for nothing... I keep on checking... Today...

I have 6 eggs that are at day 25. We heard chirping yesterday but as of this morning, none have pipped. Should we be worried? Any suggestions? Can I pick up eggs to listen or candle? I have a still air incubator that I put my own temp/humidity checker in a few days ago. No egg turner. Eggs were...

Im about to go freaking crazy those little dinosaurs are gonna make me insane Thier peeping is so loud that the neighbors complained about the peeps.. I cannot sleep they are 5 days old and my ears are not working properly..

Hello, long-time lurker- Nice to finally be joined up here! 27 years old, have three 7 months old pullets, and some newer additions: I just signed up specifically to ask this question, we have five chicks (OEGB, Japanese bantam(male), 2x Cochin frizzle bantams, one Polish standard) all...

Hey y'all. I'm wondering if when or if I should remove the eggs from under the broody? At day 19 or 20 will they hatch on their own in the brooder? I have 3 eggs left, the first 2 were crushed and one cannibalized by one of the broody hens (she's been put in chicken jail till these last three...

I have a Serama hen that was sitting on 2 eggs. We had candled them and both seemed OK. These were the 2 that survived the "Egg massacre" (see corresponding thread) where my BO and Ameraucana attacked and ate 5 from under the brooding Serama hen. Saturday, the 2 eggs when candled seemed close...

Our novice hen stepped on one of her eggs and made some cracks in it. There are a couple small holes where it looks like the membrane is punctured. We took the egg out of the nest figuring that the mother would just clumsily step on it more and destroy it totally. It’s currently in a plastic...

Hi there experts! Need your opinions and advice! My duckling of 1.5weeks old (Indian runner duck) is making a small-like sound of a horn? The other two ducklings are still peeping they’re usual chirps but my black duckling started doing this noise maybe two dats ago? At first it sounded muffled...

I have 5, day old chicks in my brooder. All are doing extremely well, however my one barred rock wants to keep chirping really loudly. They’re eating and drinking like normal and have a full crop. What could this be? I’m very worried. I checked for pasty butt and there wasn’t any and the temp is...
