Hi all
I have a n orpington chick that was in the egg a little to long today. So I helped it out but it has a kinked neck from bieng in the egg so long will it grow out of this in a few days?
Thanks for the help everyone,when I get the fertile eggs do I just take her off the nest and replace the duds with the fertile ones and then put her back on?
I have had a buff orpington hen go broody and has been on eggs for over a week now, but they are not fertile. I was wondering if I put some fertile eggs under her next week when I got them if you think that she would hatch them out? never had orpingtons before dont know what to expect.
I bought a zilla digital thermometer for my incubator but it is reading about 4.5 degrees cooler than the old school miller that the machine came with and it has never let me down and is right at 100 the digital thermometer didn't have any kinds of instructions,but to put the batteries in it...
Congrats on the new babies.If you put some cornstarch on the baby that is bleeding it will help it clot and you wont have to worry about it as much.Flour and baking soda also works.
