    HELP My chick is freaking out!

    I had him in a box and he kept getting out and I was worried he would get hurt so the cage is a temporary fix for now until I find something more suitable. He has been steadily running back and forth and chirping very loudly. I'm worried he's going to give himself a heart attack. Here is a video

    Anyone know what breed this little guy is?

    Im really not sure what kind of eggs as my brother brought them home from work (some guy had dropped them off poor little orphans!) There were 3 dark brown eggs and he is the only one that has hatched. I checked on one of them because the air bubble was growing everyday and today was taking up...

    Anyone know what breed this little guy is?

    Hes all black with a white tummy and white tipped wings. He pipped around midnight last night and by 2am had himself a nice little hole. I noticed his membrane was very white and dry so I wrapped the egg in a warm wet paper towel being careful to avoid the beak (first time hatcher read some...

    HELP! First time hatching baby chicks

    I put a wet paper towel to cover his membrane but made sure to avoid his beak. I went back to sleep around 7am (didn't sleep much at all worrying about this poor baby) and woke up at 12pm and he is fully hatched and doing great! I'm wondering what breed he is? Hes all black on top and on his...

    Day 21 and nothing yet.................

    I read not to use anything but a lead pencil to mark the eggs because it can absorb through the shell and I'd imagine the chemicals in a sharpie are not good for baby chicks :/

    HELP! First time hatching baby chicks

    Also his membrane seems very dry, it is completely white. I read to wrap it in a warm wash cloth just making sure not to cover his beak/head should I do that?

    HELP! First time hatching baby chicks

    Ok thank you, I was only worried because he seems like hes just sitting there chirping out of his little hole, which is good I suppose at least he's happy lol) I just didn't know he was "shrink wrapped" as I have read about due to humidity issues. I took a dropper with warm sterile water and put...

    HELP! First time hatching baby chicks

    My brother is a vet tech and someone brought in fertilized chicken eggs 22 days ago. Of the 3 we have one has started hatching. We did not know anything about hatching baby chickens but the person only told us to put them under a 100w bulb and make sure the temp stays at 99-100 degrees. After...
