    First time incubating

    Would the heart start forming the first 4 hours though? That’s about how long they were in there before the temp drop.

    First time incubating

    So I have a 7 egg incubator and I’m incubating 4 Silkie chicken eggs. Last night I put them in for the first time and when I went to bed the thermometer read 99 degrees but this morning when I checked it dropped to 95. I quickly fixed it but I’m wondering if this will effect them? It was the...

    Yes they have a very nice warm set up. This picture is literally from when I first caught them. I used a butterfly net cage to bring them inside. Now they have a box with a heat lamp :) and thank you!

    No, mama chicken popped up in my horse pens with them. Unfortunately she didn’t make it because of our dog and neither did most of the babies. After rescuing the 4 left behind, only 3 survived.

    Your little babies are so cute! And welcome :) by any chance do you know why you lost those 3 or were they showing any symptoms of being sick? I have a sick little baby right now that I’m nursing back to health so that’s why I ask. Best of luck raising these cuties! ♥️

    Thank you! I will stop the nutridrench, but I’ve only given it 3 times in very small doses so hopefully haven’t caused any damage with that. The electrolyte water has only been for 2 days so I was going to stop it after today. At this point all I can really do is keep her warm and make sure she...
