Hi All, I haven't been on in while...so happy new year!
I am dealing with 2 roosters who have been fighting. They are all bloody when I come home from work...no real bad wounds. However, the other day I can home and the one Rooster had its beak broken by the other rooster. I have since...
Having the same problem. I have SLW that went broody. Found her nest in the wood pile, moved it to the "nursery". Started with 9 now only have 4??? Found 2 fully developed chicks dead and still under the hen? The nursery is closed off to "visitors". It has to be momma hen?? I don 't understand...
Well. I got nothing today. I am afriad to open em up. I think I will just throw them out. So I have 2 out of 21. I think (based on feathers) they are girls. At least I got that.
Well, I have 2 babies and 3 I am still hoping for. Out of 21 eggs I had 5 fully developed chicks in eggs, the rest were either duds or didn't fully develop. I have 3 in the incubator for 1 more day, if I don't see piping then it is over. I don't know what I did wrong? I kept the temp between...
As for the one with the beak poked out......
I really don't know what happened? It was a BCM. It died before the temp spiked, so I know it wasn't that.
I opened it up a little and the chick looked fine, so maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Sadly.
Good News and Bad news. The Bad news is......when I got home from work today the incubator was 109 degrees! I cannot believe it!! It was 100 last night and yesterday into this morning. I don't know how it got up to 109??? I am VERY sad! Cannot believe it. This has happened before but didnt get...
I have 2 piped and maybe 2 rocking.Started this Morning areound 8:30. Husband called to tell me about it. I cant stay away from the incubator. I hope they hatch before I have to go to work in the morning.
Me Too!!! Lock down tonight. I will turn them one last time and lock them up!!! I did one last candle last night and threw out 10 eggs.....9 duds and one with a developed dead embryo inside. I was unhappy about the Salmon Faverolles ALL being duds. I have BCM's, BO's and BA's. I looked at all of...
Well, I am not doing anything outside, its just too cold. I wish it were spring, I would be working in the garden. I am just watching my eggs like a watched pot. You know that saying, "a watched pot never boils", well that will probably be me. The bad thing is the eggs I actually wanted (4...
Hey everyone,
Any Updates? I candled the other day and saw movement, it was so neat. Anyone else have anything major happen? I have about 6 that I think are duds. They look clear with maybe a blood ring, but I am afraid to open them up. Don't want to chance it. How long do you think I can wait...
Hey all, I candled again last night and got movement. It was the neatest thing. I talked about it all day at work. The one that was moving I believe was a B.O.
I am sooo excited that I got this far, I must be doing a little something right! LOL
Out of 21 eggs. I haven't seen anything in about 6. I am still holding out hope for them. I havent candled Them in 2 days. I am hoping that I have just missed something.
