    1 Day old deformed and/or injured chick

    Thank you everyone for the great advice! Falcon (we named him) passed away peacefully; he was survived by 8 happy and healthy brothers and sisters :)

    1 Day old deformed and/or injured chick

    Ok, it is definitely dying, there is a bubble of blood on its belly where it must have been bleeding internally. it can't even peep now. Any suggestions (other than vinigar baking soda method which my mom (who is a vet. tech) says is inhumane) on how to cull it?

    1 Day old deformed and/or injured chick

    Thank you, that teacup/bowl idea is brilliant. I'll give it another half day - full day of rest and then give that a shot. :)

    1 Day old deformed and/or injured chick

    At the moment he/she cannot walk, it only has use of its left leg so it just spins around in circles. I will definitely wait it out and see if it does gain movement in its right leg as well. Thank you

    1 Day old deformed and/or injured chick

    This little chick was the last to hatch, and is about 18-24 hours younger than its siblings. It had difficulty getting out of the egg because it was coming out sideways, left wing first, and was trying to push out without very much zipping, it had a few eratic looking chips, So i ended up giving...

    First hatch questions and concerns

    well I have 5 chicks that have hatched, the last 3 zipped normally so i think the first two were just a fluke! 3 more pips and 5 more to go

    First hatch questions and concerns

    yeah instead of zipping off the fat end of the shell she zipped out the side of the shell, sort of taking off half the fat end (not near the small end) like cutting the corner i guess you could say.

    First hatch questions and concerns

    Update: The chick detached from the egg and the cord, now she just has a little red nub on her bum (which i think is normal?) Another chick began to zip, again this one is doing so on the side like the other

    First hatch questions and concerns

    Ok, so Day 21 begins this afternoon and ends tomorrow afternoon (if you want to get technical about it) Last night I got 2 pips, then today I got a third, and this morning 1 hatched! Right now I have all the resevouirs at the bottom of the incubator full, as well as half an ice tray, a small...

    Hello. I am wondering, does anyone know where I can get some Jersey Giant eggs or chicks? They seem to be pretty non-existent around here.

    Help, Incubator too humid with no water in it

    Thank you, looks like the humidity has dropped to about 45% you were probably right about the excess water from cleaning.

    Help, Incubator too humid with no water in it

    My more sensitive Hygrometer (meant for incubating) has dropped to about 56% now, the other (slower responding) hygrometer is at about 67% I'll take the slow responding one out to compare room humidity to the incubator, will take some time though

    Help, Incubator too humid with no water in it

    I have two hygrometers in my incubator which as been running for about 12 hours now with no water in it (except maybe some droplets from being rinsed out) No eggs in it yet. Both are reading 68% (i'm aiming for between 25%-45% as suggested on this site) it just so happens that when I checked the...
