    Anyone else getting ready for some new baby hatching?

    I woke up this morning with 2 more pipped. However my humidity had dropped to 45%. It is back up now but is this something I should worry about since they had pipped with low humidity? Also one pipped on the wrong end of the egg. I hope he makes it.

    I would be happy with that hatch rate. You can try to experiment with temp and humidity, but 99.5-100.5 should be about right depending on your incubator.

    Beautiful babies!! I'm still a little new to this, but from what I have read newspaper can cause leg problems because they slide around and can't get any traction. You might want to add some pine shavings. Just trying to help out a little. I still just have the one that hatched this morning...

    The one that pipped this morning has now hatched but no more pips so far. I hope I have a least a few more.

    It's probably just resting, I wouldn't worry about it right now. I've had some zip in just a few minutes and some stop and rest a lot. Just keep an eye on him.

    gimmie birdies those are good lookin little chicks. That picture is just going to make these next few days drag out even more. I hope I get a good mix of colors like that but I'm afraid they may all be red since my EE roo is red as well.

    What breed are these chicks

    These are at the local TSC and they had no idea what breed they were. Any guesses?

    What will these chicks look like?

    I just put some eggs in the incubator. My roo is an EE, mostly red in color and black tail feathers. My hens are amber link and red sex links. Does anyone have experiences with these crosses. Any idea what they will look like. Pictures would be great too. Thanks.

    Quail with sores on their feet

    I have given the quail much more space and they still have large sores on their feet, and some are now losing feathers. I have no idea what is causing this. Again, all the sores are in the same location, where the three front toes all come together on top of the foot. Any ideas to what to do.

    Quail with sores on their feet

    Yes they are on top of their feet. It is 9 of them in a 2 x 5 pen, I will try giving them more room. I just thought it was weird that they sores are in the same spot on all the quail.
