    Okay guys....I'm throwing in the towel so to say. One beautiful little chick from Chick-among-us is all I have to show from my swap eggs. I had 50% hatch of my own that were put in. Farmer Chef, I don't know what happened. Your eggs were showing great development first 12 days. Then...

    I had one, of mine, Pip 2 days ago and then nothing. On eggtopsy it looked as if it pipped below the air sac. That is the oddest thing about this hatch. My eggs have very small air sacs and the swap eggs suffered a large amount of dehydration of the air sacs. Today is Day 21. No peeps or...

    I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than myself answers this thread. Just didn't want you to feel all alone. If you know where to locate his crop, feel to see if it is distended,firm to palpation, or just soft and empty. Research "Crop Impaction" here on BYC if it feels firm and full. Try to...

    Going into Lock Down tonite. I had to pitch some eggs that looked Okay last week but did not fill out the egg and there is no movement notable. That is disappointing. I'm learning. Have some with very large air sacs...1st time I've seen that. Terrible time keeping humidity up. Even with...

    looks like a hurt foot?
