    I am not really sure what this is. Any ideas? (Kinda gross pic)

    When we woke up this morning, the little guy had died. I was really hopeful but he was so much smaller and didn't seem to be adjusting well with the others. I originally thought that the others killed him but when I got a closer look he had just died of whatever was wrong when he hatched...

    He seems to be doing better today. He still has something hanging from his belly but it is now dried up and he is still walking around happy and is peeping, looking for his brothers and sisters. I am going to keep him in the now cleaned out incubator by himself for a while. When I put him in...

    I think it is just ooze. It hasn't been bleeding on anything and there is no blood on the chicks feet. I have him in the incubator with all of the broken eggs and yick from the other 9 hatching. Can it get infected or is it OK to leave it in there. I don't want to make things worse by throwing...

    The pieces of egg are not the from the chicken in question. They have stuck to the bloody ooze.

    This chick had pipped last night about 4am. At 8am he had zipped all the way around and was only being held in his egg by a thin little membrane. At 5pm I couldn't take it any longer and I helped him out. I was afraid he was too tired to push his way out. Well now it is 9pm and he is...

    Quick Brower top hatch bator question

    I don't know what kind of egg turner you have but you can't actually see the turner moving in mine. It will turn maybe twice an hour but it is really slow. Maybe you can just check it every 15 minutes and see if there has been any change., Do this for a couple of hours just to make sure it is...

    chicks pecking each other

    I just read on another part of the website that it is just practice for scratching and pecking the ground. Here is the exact quote... They will instinctively be interested in drops of water, each other's toes, and other objects of possible experimentation. Hope this helps there was alot of...

    Friday is Hatch~Day but should I lock down sooner?

    I am just at the end of my second hatch and I have had my eggs in for 16 days. My problem is that after my first hatch I decided that I would go out and buy a really nice and decently expensive digital read-out thermometer. Long story short, after 12 days of the temperature fluctuating 6 to 7...
