I now have 5 little chicks that have hatched. The other 7 eggs have done nothing, not even pipped. But I'm only on day 21 so lets keep our fingers crossed. And yes I helped the one chick hatch, there was no progress when I got home from work yesterday. So I got my spray bottle of hot water...
Of the 7 mille fleur eggs, 6 hatched... YEAH.
I am on day 20 with the shipped eggs. I kept them in the egg carton at lock down. I have 1 chick hatched and 3 more eggs have pipped so far. One of the eggs has the pip on the side, about half way down to the pointed end. The chick is moving...
Feeling really good ... Just candled the shipped cochin bantam eggs, they are on day 10. Of the 15 eggs that I started out with, I have 12 very active little wiggles developing. I still have them upright in the egg carton, and I think that I will leave them there thru hatching. Of the 3 eggs...
Thanks for the replies... Now I think I'm more worried about the mille fleur eggs at the moment. I know they are only on day 3, but I candled some of them this afternoon and of 10 eggs that were candled only 1 showed any red veining. I think this whole hatch with both of the incubators will be...
I have 3 Little Giant still air bators, that I got from tractor supply. I love these incubators, 2 are the old style, 1 is the new style . I prefer the old style. I have had these incubators about 2 years .My last attempt at hatching ( about 5 weeks ago) went like this, I put 28 eggs in the...
I just got 15 shipped cochin frizzle bantam eggs in the mail. I got these eggs off of ebay. I live about 45 minutes from the seller, but he refused to meet me so that I could pick up the eggs, I had to have them shipped... When I got them I candled them and 5 had floating air cells. I waited...
Centrarchid, thanks for responding. She has started back laying, 3 eggs so far. I wormed them about 6 weeks ago with safeguard. Do you think I should worm her again ?
mrchicks that's just what is happening. She now stays off to herself because the other chickens are so mean to her. When she was broody, she was in the nest box with all the others. It's not like she went away and then came back, she's been there the whole time. I have her in my fenced in...
I have a 2 year old ee hen that just stopped being broody. She has always been my "Spastic Chicken", running around, jumping fences She now gets picked on by the other chicken, very docile. Has now became the low man on the pole. so not like her. I had to bring her into my garage tonight...
I have a 2 1/2 half week old silver laced Wyandotte chick, I think it's a rooster. He is in the Brooder with 3 1/2 week olds. He is very aggressive to the other chicks. If any other chicks get near him he runs to them and starts pecking at them very aggressively. I have never had this happen...
