    Bent neck, too long hatching

    They're wiggly and didn't want to hold still. She's the one on the front right side. Standing upright. She couldn't get off her back earlier. But she's good now!

    Bent neck, too long hatching

    Well a little stint in her cup did the trick. I went to check on her and she had jumped out of her cup and was walking around the incubator, so I moved her to the brooder with her friends. She's all fluffed up now.

    Bent neck, too long hatching

    I checked on her again, no membrane but she's a little less 'C' shaped now though still a little crooked over. I massaged her neck a bit and put her back in the incubator in her cup for now. She's dry but her down looks wet even tho she's not. I'll just keep checking on her. She has a mate...

    Bent neck, too long hatching

    Hello! I am hatching out some Black Copper Marans eggs. I put them in the incubator (Janoel 12) on May 13. The first babies were born yesterday (3 of them) and two more in the night. One had cracked it's shell nearly all the way around but could not get out so I assisted by peeling just teeny...

    HELP! My baby chick was born with unabsorbed yolk!

    Hello from NorCal

    Thank you for the warm welcome! Busy is right! Started building my new coop yesterday. It's going to be a big project but I know I'll love it when it's complete and all the gals have a safer home (and one Roo, named Floyd)

    Roos?

    Happy, I'm near Napa. Caught 3 swarms last week - bees galore! Thank you AK, that is some good info for me to use in checking out my 'kids'.

    Roos?

    Thank you. I checked the rows of feathers on my day old chicks to see if I could see the secondary set of feathers. But I wondered what other indicators one looked for when they are older. I only ordered a few straight run chicks but even the sexed are only supposed to be @ 80%.

    Hello from NorCal

    Just wanted to do an intro. Lali from NorCal. I have a mixed flock of 5-6 week old babies and an older flock of mixed breeds (Cuckoo Marans, Buff O's, White Rocks, Light Brahma and some unknown that may be a Barnvelder but I can't say for sure.) The new babies are; Speckled Sussex Females 3...

    Roos?

    Just curious, but how can you tell the second one is a boy? What indicators would I look for in my own 5-6 week old flock. Thanks.
