Hi, I went ahead and made a new post to just focus on this one chicken.
So this chicken has been low energy for a while -- a lot of laying down. Not eating and drinking very little
Yesterday, we went ahead and syringe fed her some gatorade mixed with a little bit of yogurt. We were going to...
🙁
More info: so our big black chicken in the picture above was hiding out under the house yesterday. I believe 5 days ago she was still eating fine.
I noticed our white chicken walking around making a squaking noice a week ago. Almost like she was sighing over and over again. I thought it was...
We made the mistake of buying from the flea market.
My Mom thinks our chickens we had before now have NewCastles Disease.. Not sure what this is
And the other 4 hens we have seemed to have caught something... all of them are not eating that much. Still drinking though
I also have uploaded to...
Update: well I think our rooster just did not mate this time.
My mom must have thought the eggs were fertilized
that's alright I learned a lot and will try again some other time.
:idunno:rolleyes: im a fan of these retro smilies!
I think its doing ok, this incubator is the 1588 but with a different type of egg turner. Borrowed from a friend of mine.
Going to be interesting, mostly trying this out for the educational experience.
How does it turn the egg if it is pointy side down? thats kind of cool
Well, I probably should have watched more closely or did some hand turning..., but I saw that the egg ended up slanted?
also am worried the one white egg right there may not have been turned much at all. I often still see the number 2 I wrote ont he one white egg face up. But maybe it turned a...
Yeah im excited to try this out, first timer here. Sucks one of our hen died recently now have 4 hen one rooster
Also curious when it comes to candling after 7-10 days... for the ones that werent fertile are those eggs basically rotten and not good to eat anymore?
The egg shortage is real :p...
So I want to try to hatch my own eggs. I have been reading and missed this piece of crucial information
The eggs range from being 1 to 6 days old
how badly will this mess up my attempts to hatch? thanks in advance,
and yes I do have a rooster
Good day, everything seems to be going pretty well, i was considering letting him go back with the hens to sleep today...
he spent the day hanging out in our chicken run.
He has been limping (previously couldnt limp much) I think swelling is down a lot
but I will give it another few days just...
Hi i want
so uh if the foot is looking more blue than swollen would that be sign of infection? i can try to make something like this with a plastic container
hi egg, umm i cant tell color well but my guess is pretty swollen...
on the sides of his toes i think the color is darker/red maybe?
i dont tell color well at all.. Is the swelling a very big concern? i will take the bandage off once my mom comes home... this time i dont think i made it too...
so now that its been a few days I do not need to worry about infection?
also hope i can do it tonight... sigh parents are mad at me and are busy working on something else outside....
