Where can I get a chick?
It not that I am against getting another chick but can't think really how to, I mean I incubated this one and 2 duds fo 21 days. And 21 days is far off.
Well I do have cocketiels, finches, and parakeets, I don't think they are good room mates for a chick but what you...
OK I got the temp up to 95 but the light is a bit closer. Do I need to worry about it over heating, I mean I am sure that on the other side of the box is cooler, so do i need to worry about not mving and getting burned like a lizard does on a heat rock?
It can also touch the light, should I...
Ok I got a new chick and I will post it on the forum as soon as I can tomorrow to find out what type of bantam it is.
My questions are:
I got food made for chicks but do I need grit?
I can only get the temp up to 85 ish, is this safe it is 3 days old? How often do I start lowering the temp...
OK I know that at day 18 the humidity should be raised up to 70% but what is an acceptable range at this time? Would it be 70% to 75%?
Just wondering this because I am not 100% sure if I can get the humdity at exactly 70%...or even near it, 1 or 2% away. I can get it above 70% im sure but under...
HI all, I got a few questions,
1. I am trying to hatch 3 batom eggs and after 2 weeks only 1 developed. The 1 is moving inside and the other 2 just have a dark spot inside with no viens, I believe the black spot is a yolk, but niether of the 2 have a bacteria ring, Should I toss the 2?
2. When...
OK I candled my 3 batam eggs and 1 had veins and a clear embryo developing, the other 2 do not have any clear viens but DO have a large black mass in center. I raised duck eggs before and all reach the very end and did not make it (bad incubator...I made) so I SOMEWHAT know what I am looking...
personally I would think that the temp is from the hen and eggs, but more hens, but the humidity is actually the egg. When you think about it they can "sweat" and in a small area they would actually increase the humidity, and the inside of a egg is very wet and the egg's pores would allow some...
Just wondering what was the latest anyone has ever had to wait late for a duck/ chicken to hatch? I mean ducks suppose to be at 28 and chickens at 21 but has anyone ever had one live till like 40 in the egg then hatch?
