HELP Please!
Guys I had a pathetic day, almost all my eggs have gone bad not sure why, After keeping them in the bator for hours and hours and waiting for them to hatch, I decided to candle them and chose the 6 that I had most hope with based on candeling results. I took these and tried to...
Congrats coolmind1999, Guys here is the one I helped to hatch, looks in good shape to me
She isn't walking much, takes a few steps and then just throws its head to the ground is it normal ? It is about 5hours old.
HELP!!
I am uploading a photo of the chick that has been peeping for more than 24 hours but not able to pip. I had made a hole on the fat end of the egg about 10 hours ago, and now I widened the hole a bit. I can see the beak, it had already made the internal pip, Can someone take a look at...
Ok so after about 8 hours of sleep I woke up today expecting something exciting, but its all the same :(, the egg that was peeping, I had made a hole to its fat end before I went to sleep, It is still in the exact same condition, speaks loudly if you pick it up or touch but no marks whatsoever...
Thanks IowaBlueMama That actually gives me a lot of hope and I think by this time tomorrow my 20 will be in a much more enjoyable condition, will keep you posted.
Thanks
I am in the same condition as before, One of them peeping all the time, I can hear him "tick tick" trying to pip the shell, all other 19 look really lifeless at the moment no movement, no peeping. Not sure if I should be concerned about them. It has been 20 days and 8 hours. Can't sleep waiting...
How do you guys know that there has been an internal pip ? I have 20 in my bator and only one made sounds through out today and all others are quite, not even moving a little.
Sumi I went ahead and made a small hole at the at end of the egg, but once I made the hole I can see another white membrane in there, and when I hold the egg close to my ear I can hear sometime the sound of "tuk tuk tuk", as if he is trying to break it.
Questions:
Why is there another white...
Getting worried now, I am going to wait another couple of hours and then as you suggested I am going to peep a small hole in the air pocket, do I also need to make the hole in the membrane under the thick outer shell ?
great to hear that, I think they will start again after some rest, but I had just one of mine peeping and not even moving, I can just hear the sound, also none has yet pipped.
thanks, it has been about 8 hours it has been cheeping, but hasn't yet been able to pip a hole in the egg, is it normal ? This is my first time so I dont know much about what is going on :)
Thanks sumi for informative response, I have my fingers crossed as to when it starts external pipping.
One more thing I have noticed is that none of my eggs are moving, are they supposed to move ? as IowaBlueMama said that they are moving and shaking, mine are still like fully at rest, is this...
I have around 20 chicken eggs in a home made incubator, Day 20 has completed and day 21 is starting while I post this. I heard a chicken peeping (speaking) from one of the larger eggs that I have. There are no cracks on the egg yet, If I hold the egg close to my ear I can hear him peeping.
How...
