    What went wrong with these eggs? Did the embryos get stuck from lack of turning?

    Hi all, I am wondering if you can help me diagnose what went wrong with some shipped eggs that I attempted to incubate. A little bit of background: I had some eggs shipped to me a couple of weeks ago. After letting them sit (pointy-side down) for a day outside (outdoor temperatures ranged...

    Help with a malpositioned chick - how do I best assist it in hatching??!

    Everyone is well :love 5 of the chicks went down the road to my cousin's house where she has a brooder set up for them (last photo below). We are using a Brinsea EcoGlow brooder at her house, which the chicks have been enjoying so far. We've been showing all of them where to drink and eat. They...

    Help with a malpositioned chick - how do I best assist it in hatching??!

    LaFleche, Thank you for your support and helpful advice. I am making a chamomile/oregano tea for all of the babies tonight per your instructions. We incubated 7 eggs of which we've had 3 belgian d'uccles hatch (including Blondie) and 2 silkies hatch. Another silkie is zipping out as I type! The...

    Help with a malpositioned chick - how do I best assist it in hatching??!

    Thank you for checking back in. I ended up helping her out of the egg around 7:15am because she still hadn't made any progress over the course of the night. I slowly started chipping away at her shell and peeling the membrane back. I didn't see any blood or blood vessels in the membrane, except...

    Help with a malpositioned chick - how do I best assist it in hatching??!

    Ok, so I've left it alone for the past 30ish minutes and dimmed the lighting. This is what the membrane looks like right now. Do you think that looks ok? I was moistening it earlier because it kept browning like this on the edges.

    Help with a malpositioned chick - how do I best assist it in hatching??!

    Thank you, LaFleche! I really appreciate your response! I am scared that the membrane will dry up if I step away for too long. That is my biggest fear at this point since the chick seems to be getting a good amount of oxygen. I just don't want her to get shrink-wraped in her egg. But I'll try to...

    Can you put two different kinds of pheasants together? Will they get along?

    Thanks for the response. I am definitely working on his (her/its?) legs; as I said, he (she/it) does have an appointment on Tuesday with the vet. Do you think at some point it would be alright to put him (it) with another pheasant once his (its) legs are all straightened out? I don't know that...

    Can you put two different kinds of pheasants together? Will they get along?

    I recently acquired a single impeyan that is 2 months old, but am worried that he seems lonely. He has twisted legs which I am working on splinting (and I am taking him to the vet on Tuesday) so as a result, he has been living all by himself in an extra large sized dog kennel with plenty of...

    Introducing a Large Hen (RIR) Into a Flock of Silkies

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone has experience with introducing a large hen into a flock of docile bantams (such as silkies). Has this been difficult to do successfully? From what I have read, it seems like it is a bit tricky to introduce bantams into a flock of large fowl, but what about the...
