    Rooster attacked by fox and has limp neck

    Hi Kiki, I'm not wrapping his neck with anything. I just use my hand to gently support his neck so that he can eat and drink.

The humidity in my incubator has averaged 36% and I am on day 11. I weighed my eggs before setting them, on day 7, and on day 10. Day 7 weights...
