We had a chick hatch on its own at 21 days and it’s got what looks like a yolk sac that isn’t absorbed? What should I do for this? It’s a very lively chick so I’d love to help it, if it can be helped. We’ve got it in the incubator by itself since it was the last to hatch.
No, they hatched all at 21 days. I’ve never had this happen before but I’ve now had it with 1 of my eggs, and 2 of my shipped eggs from different shipments. I keep my temp at 99.5 and humidity 40-45 and then of course higher around 60-65 at lockdown.
I had an egg that is the last to hatch. Hatching day was 2 days ago. I did here chirping in egg for a few hours yesterday but nothing today and no movement in the egg. No pip. How long should I leave it in there?
I told the rural king person I wanted 3 light brahmas and showed him the correct ones and then walked away to go look at the other chicks. Well the guy was already annoyed and just threw 3 random chicks in there and wouldn’t let me pick out what I wanted in the other bins so now I have no idea...
I was thinking this brahma mix (so I’m calling it) was a hen. No comb hardly at all and hasn’t crowed…..UNTIL this morning she was crowing a very sad crow 😅 so is she really a he? I’m still hoping she’s a hen that crows but I fear I’m wrong.
My chicks are starting to grow out and I’m afraid I have quite a few Roos. I would be correct in assuming these are Roos? I’m not going to rehome yet until I hear crowing but what do you all think? All are silkie mixes minus the turken.
So we went away for 3 days and our helper forgot to check under the hens. Obviously there is growth so we did toss them in the incubator. Why not ya know? However, apparently there was an egg we miss because it is much further along than the other eggs. My question is, how far along do you...
Just wanted to share some of my recent hatches. Most of these are all silkie mixes but are thankfully growing more like full sized chicks. My favorite is the prairie bluebell egger that is starting to frizzle. Can’t wait to see how they all grow!! The BCM silkie mix has huge feathers on its feet.
