I bought 25 blue wyandottes, when I picked them up from the post office they had covered them with a garbage bag, so they would stop peeping! Within hours of having them home 7 died. Then in the next 3 days all of them died. I am so up set. Why in the world would you put a toxic garbage bag...
Does anyone have experience with hatching Turkey and geese eggs? I have two eggs of each in the bator box for a week and no blood rings yet. Do I need to wait a little longer?
Sorry not meaning to change the subject : one of my eggs are trying to catch. It has one peck mark and you can here the baby peeping. So my question is....... how long is the process of the little silkie fully hatching and is there anything I need to watch for?
Sorry that your having dog problems. That is awful and I can feel your pain. I have lost four chickens to someone's coondogs. They somehow opened the coop latch! That's OK I am sure one of those dogs might be M I A. My son thought it was a bobcat and lit it up.
I am more nervous than a first time mom! LOL I have four silkie eggs due to hatch any day :). This will be my first time hatching chicks! The hubby tells me I 'm fretting more than the hen does. Oh well I just can't help it!
