    Impacted crop on 5 day old chick???

    I have a 5 day old chick, her crop is big and firm and she doesn’t have pasty butt. Is there anything I can do to save her? They are on medicated chick crumble and I have the electrolyte and probiotic in the water. Help!

    Help! 2 hatched and 1 left humidity is 95%

    First time incubator here! We made it to day 21! 3/10 original eggs made it to pip day! Of course right before bed I saw all 3 eggs had pipped. This morning I have 2 chicks moving around and 1 egg still intact. I know I should wait but I’m worried about the humidity. Humidity level is now 95%...

    Help!

    So, I’ve done the research, I’ve watched the videos, I’ve collected my eggs all week. I ran my incubator for 24 hours with extra thermometers/hygrometers to make sure all was working and where it should be. Added eggs today and it’s no longer matching. It’s been hours and my thermometers are...

    I have one rooster. I picked the girls that I want to cross breed. So they have been seperate for a few days already with him but were in the entire flock with him prior. I figured by putting him in with just those 10 he will be breeding them more likely than when he is in with the entire flock...

    Ok great! Thank you!! I put 10 girls in there with him. Just coincidence on the amount. I just wanted to cross certain breeds. But like today I only got 1 egg!! My girls still aren’t laying the best in our crazy Ohio weather. So I figured I would start tomorrow. I will candle then and check for...

    Thank you! Yes I saw that too! Pointy side down! My incubator has a water spot in the center. Small. When I was testing and checking it does keep it right around 45% but what I read was increasing the amount of water doesn’t increase humidity but increasing surface of water does? So adding...

    I have neeen scouring the forums for all the good info and found a lot. I am down to my last week and want to make sure I have everything ready to go.
