Thank you for your kind words <3

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately the chick passed away in my hands a couple of hours ago. It wouldn't eat or drink and got very weak so I just cuddled the little baby. He/she didn't have any other symptoms, no pasty butt, naval was closed. I did notice that right before it passed its...

The crop is almost always empty. I got a good brand chick food without antibiotics. So I would hope the food is well balanced. I'll make some hard boiled eggs later today and give that to them as a treat to see if that will help. The chick is very lethargic all it wants to do is sit under the...

So I had 8 chicks born between 4 /14-4/16. I lost one 3 days ago and there is still one that I'm very concerned about. Like the one I lost 3 days ago this one is extremely tiny. Like half the size of the other chicks including one born after it. Its like it hasn't grown at all since it hatched...

I have one that will stay on. I foster neonatal kittens so I always have heating pads that don't have the 2 hour shut off on them :) All my little chicklets are laying on the pad now with a cloth cover over it so its not to hot for them.

I unfortunately don't have any wire to put it on :( All I can do is put it under the pee pee pad I have on the bottom of my brood box. I only have the heat source on one side of the brood box so they can get away from it when ever they want. My lamp wasn't that close and I had a thermometer in...

My heating lamp just went out and my little chicks are only 2 days old! Can I use a heating pad under the brood box to keep them warm? Will that be enough till I can get another bulb tomorrow?

I have a total of 8 chicks, out of 12 eggs set! One of my babes even pipped in the wrong position but I was able to save it!

Woke up to a surprise chick! He/she hatched a day early for my EHAL! The egg next to it has pipped too!

I woke up to this little one that hatched a day early! Lol I was checking for pipping and got quite the surprise! The egg next to it has pipped too! They are part of my Easter Hatch-a-long clutch!

Quote: Will my eggs count towards the hatch-a-long? I set them on the 25th at 8pm.

It's never gotten that high. The highest it's been is 102. It will get that high for a few mins and then drop back down. I'm just perfection and want to make sure my little egglets have the best chance of survival.

Does anyone have a temp and humidity sensor that records your data and send it to an app? If you do, do you think its worth it? Which one do you have? I would really like one that can give me warnings too if my incubator gets to hot or cold. I have found a couple on Amazon but the price is a...

Can I still join? I actually didn't see this till just now, but I coincidentally set 12 Blue Andalusia eggs on the 25th at 8pm EST.

He or she is here! I didn't have to assise ether! It went from not doing anything to hatch to hatched in about 10 mins! It actually hatched about 4 mins before another! Thank you so much everyone! Here is a picture of the one I was worried about right after it hatched and a picture of it...
