    We Got Emus! First Time Emu Owner

    Bought three beautiful Emus yesterday, we believe to have 2 females and a male. We will need to get them DNAed to be sure. They are 2 years old and we will hopefully see some eggs within the next year or so. Any tips, suggestions, or knowledge we should know about Emus? We want to make sure...

    Marking Chicks

    The dental bands are a good idea! Then move the the leg bands. All these things I never think of!

    Marking Chicks

    Thanks, he/she is part of my experiment. I have German Bielefelders that lay very dark eggs, I’m hoping the Roo I got from that group carries that dark egg gene also. Sooo, I am going to see if I can make some darker Olive/Blue eggs crossing him with my blue layer and if the auto sex of the...

    Marking Chicks

    How does everyone mark or tag their chicks? I would like to identify chicks in some way so I can pick traits I like and so on. What methods work best?

    Day 20-21, what to expect?

    The water candling was 100% accurate so far, 4 of the 39 viable eggs showed no movement and those are the last eggs in the incubator. Hopefully they still hatch, but I have my doubts. I don’t think the candling effected the eggs at all:confused:, I checked all eggs for pips/cracks before putting...

    Hi Everyone, I am hatching from an incubator for a the first time, a little giant, and I am now at day 21. Currently the eggs are still and no pips, so I decided to water candle(early, I know, my nerves just couldn’t handle it). Of the 40 eggs everyone seems very alive except 4 still eggs and 1...

    Final Count Down

    Thank you! I assumed so about the humidity, I thought it was strange the people dropped it. But if it works for them that’s great . I will begin to raise the humidity shortly and remove the turner tonight, my incubator says raise to 60% last two-three days, does that make sense? Hopefully the...

    Final Count Down

    I am new to the forum, and in my reading I see many people losing eggs in the last few days. I have my first batch of incubator eggs hatching March 16th 2019 and now I am worried. I candled the eggs and everyone seems to be alive and well. We are now in the final 3 days and I don’t want to lose...

    8 week old Chocolate Orpington Chicks - PICS and questions...

    I have Chocolate Orpingtons and I find the chicks can be sometimes be slow growing/feathering compared to my other breeds. I have two this winter that we’re very far behind, but have caught up with proper care and love. ❤️ Good luck!
