    Help! Almost all of my eggs have detached air cells!!

    I had that to 8 out of 17 on my last incubation. I stopped my turning and stood them with the big end up to keep them from moving, while the rest of them turned. Most of my previous batch that had detached, never hatched . I left them that way in the incubator for 5 days. Every single one of...

    Ameraucana/Maran Mix question

    Oh my, that stinks! I too had an experience with lavender americauna's. We love the blue eggs. However out of 8, only two hatched and one of them was deformed 😭 poor baby was dead in the coop at about a month old. It lived all that time and then appeared to have gotten trampled.

    Rooster aggression questions

His name is Richie Rich and he's biggest one in the whole flock and he's a Copper Maran. He thought that he was going to run things and he...

    Chickens barely get out of the coop

    Just my two cents worth , That's too long for chicks. I hatched bought eggs twice. Got 22 babies total. My babies are one month apart and the older ones are now 4 months.

    They were shipped eggs and when more than half of them were detached, but fertile I stood them up in the incubator with the fat end up for 5 days then laid them back down with everybody else and they actually righted themselves during that 5 days. 18 outta 20 were viable and made it to lock...

    Do I Manually Turn Shipped Serama Eggs With Possible Detached Air Cells?!

    The first thing I would say is do let them rest, after the shipping. That makes a huge difference with the detached not happening. I checked on somewhere between 7 and 8 days, I had a lot with detached air cells.. had more that I was going to have to lose, then I was going to hatch. I took...

    Should I hatch my shipped eggs upright or on their side?

    I've recently had an issue with my shipped eggs despite letting them rest for 24 hours before I put them in the incubator, sticking to the side and then of course they stop growing somewhere along the way. This time between 5 and 8 days in, a bunch of them were fertile but they were growing on...

    My first batch of babies!

    Thank you! I suck at going through the old posts but I tried something different this time with the ones that were shipped and on the side on day 4. I put them with their air sac up because they were on the side and put them back in the incubator and 5 days later they were all moved right and...
