    Narcoleptic Chicken?

Then she jumps up and walks off normally. Her feathers are not messy and she eats and drinks very well. There's no...

    I have no idea what I am doing

    Wow! This feed reads like a soap opera. I have to get ready for work and I can't stop reading to see if the baby has hatched! Omg! I agree with @OneOleBiddy about there being a shortage of people who care enough. But there still are some good ones out there. I hope the little duck lives a long...

    The first pipper hatched this morning at 900am he was on the wrong side of the egg too. He kicked and turned over another one that was zipping and he asfixiated. The third hatched all on its own and happened in just a few just hours. The fourth is taking his sweet little time. 4 babies out of 5...

    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    I have a baby that pipped in the incubator @12am this morning but has not progressed any at all and it's almost 4 pm. I hear chirping and he is moving around in there. How much longer do you guys think before the hatch completes? They are 20 days today. I'm a newbie here. Any help is appreciated.

    1 egg pipped last night but hasn't hatched.

    This is day 20, my eggs are on lockdown. Last night at 12am I noticed a pip. It hasn't progressed much at all. This morning I noticed the chick is peeping a lot. The other eggs are moving around a lot with no pips yet. So excited and hopeful.
