I'm pretty sure mine is a duck wing bantam there are different kinds of duck wing bantams. What color egg did they come out of? Mine came out of a really tiny green egg.

the little one didnt make it. she stopped eating and drinking and got very lethargic. so I seperated her from the others and let her pass in peace. the other 5 are still thriving and very ornery especially the one that was sticky he is the smallest and the runt but I think he picks on the others...

The one I braced her legs I'm still having to hand feed her and give her water. I turned some of the chick starter feed into mush to get her to eat. I started giving her save a chick a couple times a day cause it has the b12 vitamin e and selenium in it to help with her legs and also cause I...

I only know that the cedar and pine chips carry mites. I have pet rats as well and used to use it for their bedding until one of them got mites that's when I read up on the bedding. It said to expose the chips to freezing conditions to kill the mites before using. since it they sat in the shed...

I had already changed the news paper out to a baby changing pad. I was using cedar chips but it was causing my older chickens respiratory problems last year plus I read that cedar chips carry mites really bad and didnt want to risk it. so I discarded those a long time ago. the only thing I had...

now looking it might be her foot needs a splint as well. idk but suggestions would be awesome.

I believe it is splayed leg it waddles but stays really low. its legs are really far apart not like the others. I just moved the almost two month old babies into the bigger cage until the chicken house is finished in another two weeks and put the 6 new babies into the brooding box. The one...

it's the little yellow one on the left

I will here they are so far

g so I have 5 out and getting fluffy and 1 more pipped an hour ago. one was so sticky it actually stuck to the bottom and side of bator. I got it unstuck and washed it off with dawn soap and warm water it's all over the place with energy now and drying out. but I have the one that had lost a...

I lost that one it never gained the will to finish pushing out of the shell. after it passed I finished removing it and it had never absorbed the yolk sack. at the moment I have 4 hatched 1 more pipped 4 rocking and 1 that hasn't moved at all. but this is day 20 so I expect more tomorrow. the...

I had a chick start pipping early this morning after work it hadn't progressed but egg was still rocking. later in the night I lost power for a little over an hour I put a propane heater next to bator which managed to keep the temp up above 95. but I didnt know how much the humidity dropped...

I just lifted the lid this morning and it smells back to normal. I guess it was just lingering. I try to only touch the eggs 3 times during incubation. that's to candle on the 7th, 14th, and 18th day. on the 18th day I candle and move to hatching tray. so far this is the best fertility rate I've...

okay so I set 24 eggs in bator 9 days ago. of that 2 i dont believe are fertile. and 4 I couldnt see movement in but figured since they are dark eggs i may not see it. so giving them till day 14 canceling before I remove them. I got home from work today and opened to add water a foul smell hit...

I didnt have any problems cleaning it out. I used wintergreen alcohol. I even took off the sides and cleaned the fans. I didnt have any problems with chicks getting stuck in the hatching tray but I lined it with paper towels cause I had read about it happening. my only problem with this...
