    A sick bany hen

    I have a really urgent question. I had a year and a half old banty hen sitting on eight eggs for four days. She did not go to the bathroom once in those four days. Today she left the nest and looks very sick. I have a feeling she has a blockage. Does anyone have any advice for me right away...

    Re My banty eggs on day 18

    Kittymomma: Thank you for your response. I just reduced the humidity in my bator. I'm sure it will do no good to have it so high that moisture is dripping from the eggs. I had a hatch a few weeks ago and the humidity did not get past 45. The last hatch it took almost 24 hours for the chick...

    I have fourteen banty eggs in my homemade incubator. This is day 18. One egg has already pipped. Isn't that a bit early? Why would it pip so early? According to the info I have I am supposed to raise the humidity to 70 or higher. I did that and the water is dripping from the eggs. Should...
