Hi! Wow I know this is an old thread, but I have a question. I'm in the same position with a robin egg and i put it into my brinsea mini advance incubator and its been incubating for approximately 4 or 5 days and i candled it yesterday. I found one thickish red vein in the egg. No black ring or...
Thank you for the great info. However when and if this egg hatches I will bring it to a local wildlife rehabilitator because I won't have any time to feed and tend to the chick properly. I'll let you know if it hatches or not, thanks!
I am planning to Brian the chick to a wildlife rehabilitator if it hatches. Does anyone know if and when I should stop turning the egg before its hatch date?
Hi, answer will be greatly appreciated. I was walking down the street and happened to come across a robin egg on the grass. I picked it up and it is fully intact and was a little warm. I brought it in my house and I started up my Brinsea mini advance incubator to 99.1-99.3 degrees fahrenheight...
If the heat is to high or the brooder is to crowded, the chicks will sometimes pick on one another and leave patches of skin bald. If this is happening try lowering the temperature by about 3-5 degrees by raising the brooder lamp and if possible use a second brooder and seperate the chicks if...
The only problem is with each day the eggs stay at room temperature, is that they lose the possibility to hatch because of the possible bacterial contamination and lack of warmth. But if you already ordered the eggs that is a good idea.
It can be from the slight lack of humidity- I just hatched 19 healthy chicks with a humidity level of 70-80 percent. It can also be because you wash the eggs before setting them. You are not supposed to wash eggs unless there is a large amount of debri on the eggs that can effect hatching. If...
Do the chicks have feathered feet? Because I am trying to figure out what my chicks are and one of my chicks is a huge gray chick with a cream whit face and belly and chest with feathers on his feet and looks somewhat ike yours.
Right now your "he" looks like a "she" because she doesn't have any big combs or wattles. I think that she is going to be a girl.
These are partridge cochin chicks
These are black langshan chicks
The mother hens will lead to the chicks to a water source (plastic waterer, small puddle etc....) and allow them to drink. It would be better to provide the hens with a water source that is clearly visible to them
P.S.-Just a little non-related advice, it is a good idea to add more cracked...
You can put him with the rest of the hatch, make sure he is eating and drinking (dip his beak in the water if he isnt or doesnt know where it is), make sure he is warm and not being picked on, put a vitamin supplement in the water (like save-a-chick brand), and also make sure his butt is clean...
No and yes. Only because ducks take about 28 days to hatch and chickens take 21 days. Since you need to stop turning chicken eggs on day 18, and ducks on another you can hurt the both kinds of eggs. Because both eggs need to arange themselves in the proper position to pip the shell. If you stop...
Were not sure if any are bantams because none of them really came out small like a bantam chick would. We know we got 2 araucanas/americaunas in there. Thats what the 1st chick is, we found out by looking on the internet and the egg shells they hatched from. In the murray mcmurray website we got...
