    Chicks in the unheated garage

    My chicks have always lived in a heated garage until they are big enough to be outside. Now that we have moved, however we dont have heat in the garage. The chicks have the brinsea heater to go under. Do you think they will be ok out there? (I'm in southeast Idaho)

    Help :( sick silkie. Hopefully not merek"s

    First off...none of my other chickens have any symptoms. I have one silkie who can not stand, her legs are "floppy" It started out as one leg, now it is both. She is still eating and drinking. It is possible she has eaten some moldy corn, also possible she has a vitamin deficiency. If it...

    The majority of my poor babies were shrink wrapped!! Anyone have any idea why??

    Im thinking that the screen must be reading off. I think the temp was fine. I just bought a new humidity/thermometer on amazon, Maybe i'll try again in a bit. I've never lost that many before.

    My young son just dropped an incubated egg on day 19 :(

    Perhaps set him in a warm damp paper towel to keep the membranes dry, careful not to cover his face

    Newbie at this - 5 days past due date

    You could try candeling them and see if they have any movement, or if they had even started developing. I've also heard of the float test, but haven't tried that one. I am only on day 22 and only had four chicks out of about 24 hatch. Three more have pipped. Have any other of your eggs pipped?

    Silkie Hatch-A-Long

    Do silkie eggs take longer to hatch? I ordered 26 or so eggs, threw away about half of them at lockdown. (they were clear) The others were looking good. I am at day 22 and only one has hatched, and one piped. I really wanted baby silkies :( My humidity and temp have been good. They are...
