    Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic

    Hello everyone, I can't really say I am new here but I have been away for (a shocking!) three years. I joined back in 2019 because I needed help, received amazing advice and feedback and then got swept away by my hectic life. Anyway, I am motivated and happy to be officially starting a...

    Baby chick dying?!

    I've always loved english & everything related to the British & North American cultures (I know both are very different :D). It just that we are so influenced by France here in Morocco that it was always refreshing to follow what was going elsewhere and I guess that helped me with my english. I...

    Temperature inside incubator

    Thank you all for your feedback and advice. I can already see that there were quite a few things we were not doing correctly. Most important of all being not measuring humidity :/ As I said, we're pretty new at this & all we had so far was input from people who (I now realize) aren't that...

    Baby chick dying?!

    Thank you for these kind words, it makes me feel much better. I would have never thought I could love a chick that fast and that much. I am feeling less emotional today and kind of 'glad' it's not suffering anymore. From all you guys told me & what I read since, it would be too selfish of me to...

    Temperature inside incubator

    Greetings everyone, I would like to apologise in advance for the long post, I know I am giving too many details but I've just lost a poor chick after it suffered for two days (as well as others who died in their shells) & it was so horrible I never want to witness it again. I am thus making...

    New here, from Morocco

    Thank you :) We currently have 3 breeds: Moroccan Beldi, Naked necks & a 3rd breed I'm not really sure about, as the guy we bought the hens & eggs from was a bit too vague. He said this was a mexican breed, they are tiny & don't grow as much as the others even when they reach adulthood. My dad...

    Baby chick dying?!

    The poor thing passed about 30 mn ago. I couldn't bring myself to do anything to it, just kept it warm & cozy & it didn't seem to suffer a lot? It just opened its eyes & went limp immediately. I am praying it was a peaceful & painless death :( Thank you very much :) :hugs They are sad...

    Baby chick dying?!

    Thank you for your kind words & feedback :hugs I'll try to see if there's anything I can manage the courage to do. If not, I'll just wake my father & ask him to do it. I don't want that poor baby suffering anymore :(:(

    Baby chick dying?!

    Thank you for the quick feedback, really appreciate it That's what I was fearing. This is so sad. Two others were in the same state & are doing amazingly well now (one even had a massively bleeding navel but I managed to stop). This is honestly breaking my heart and I don't think I will have the...

    New here, from Morocco

    Hello guys, I am very happy to join this amazing community! Hassnae from Casablanca here :) I am discovering the world of chicks & chicken, as my dad has decided to create a HUGE space for them in his farm. It all started for him as a means to have fresh eggs on a regular basis & turned into a...

    Baby chick dying?!
