    Name these ducks

    Not yet named Juliet Romeo Romeo and Juliet FIrst someone gave my husband two white ducks. Then someone said he needed a male and we added another white duck. Then someone stopped by the house and left us with 4 ducks (I think they are young). Since I am currently incubating chicks, I...

    COCCIDIOSIS vs injury from bedding?

    Thank you, 1muttsfan. This morning there was still a couple of bloody stools in my 7 week old chicks, but they are all still active, eating, and drinking. Just wondering if you know how long the powder form of CORID lasts? I placed the closed bag in a closed jar, to try and keep air out, so...

    COCCIDIOSIS vs injury from bedding?

    Thank you, 1muttsfan. I started treatment with all of my chickens, this evening. I have 5 Americauna/Easter Egger chicks that are 10 days old. Can I give them Corid? They are inside my home, in the brooder. I am concerned about their health and well being. They are still on Medicated Chick...

    COCCIDIOSIS vs injury from bedding?

    I have 7 week old chicks that I purchased from Tractor Supply Company (They are 4 white leghorns and 3 bantams). They were fed Medicated Chicken feed for the first 4 weeks and get DE sprinkled on their bedding, once they are over 3-4 weeks of age. They are in the my growing pen/brooder, out in...

    Chicken Incubation Temperature Drop........HELP>>>>>>>>

    Thank you for responding, Walnut Hill. I, too, am concerned about my failure rate. I wish to continue to incubate my Americauna eggs, so really need to determine what I did wrong. I ran it from 65-75, staying in the upper 60's most of the time, for hatch. It is especially bothersome that...

    Chicken Incubation Temperature Drop........HELP>>>>>>>>

    Thank you, Egghead, Jr. I have started monitoring the air cell and did notice a difference from Day 14 to 18 with some of the eggs. Some seemed to have bigger air cells and others were "about the same." and this worried me. For the first 18 days, it ran from 20-30% humidity. For hatch, it...

    Chicken Incubation Temperature Drop........HELP>>>>>>>>

    Had 5 hatch, out of 17. Worse hatch rate yet. I attempted the "dry" method and I think my "dry" humidity got too low at times and may not have been right for hatch. The other thing that I realized, when doing my eggtopsey, is that the oldest ones did not survive and look like they died before...

    Chicken Incubation Temperature Drop........HELP>>>>>>>>

    Thank you for responding. Hubby and I were just talking about the fact that the hens leave their eggs, especially for food. Fingers crossed for success. I have pinned a lot of hopes on this incubation......lol I only had to remove 4 eggs at Day 14 (none look fertilized). Thanks again.

    Chicken Incubation Temperature Drop........HELP>>>>>>>>

    Fellow Hatchers, Today, is Day 18 of my 3rd incubation. I have 17 Americauna eggs that I was removing from the egg turner and placing back inside the incubator. This is the first time that I have attempted a "dry" hatch. For the first 18 days, my incubator (Farm Innovator) has been reading...

    Chicken legs have become very pale white and pink

    We brought in Americaunas and Buff Orphingtons, into our mix. These chickens were very well cared for and we had to pen the roosters, because there were so many of them and our farm also has bantams. We were slowly trying to intermingle the new hens with the hens that were born here. We...

    Incubating chicks with Farm Innovator 4200 and I don't understand hygrometer vs humidity

    I have now incubated 2 sets of chicks with my Farm Innovator 4200. My overall stats are really good, yet I am having an issue with sticky chicks and have lost a few because of it. I am so confused about the thermometer and hygrometer, on the top of this unit. I don't know how to properly...
