    We have 7 one month old baby chicks we incubated and hatched that were fine a few hours ago but all of a sudden started dying. 3 are dead already and 1 is breathing heavily. There haven't been any noticeable symptoms of them being sick until about 30 minutes ago when my husband noticed they...

    How do I position eggs after removing from auto egg turner?

    I hatched in cartons last time and only 1 out of 18 made it but the eggs had been shipped to FL from CT in winter and it was the first time I had ever incubated. The lady I got the eggs from hatches in cartons but the way I had done mine it looked like it made things difficult for the chick to...

    How do I position eggs after removing from auto egg turner?

    On the 18th day when I remove the eggs from the automatic egg turner, do I just lay the eggs on their side in the bottom of the incubator? Will this disorient the chicks since the eggs have been standing on end all this time & make it hard for them to hatch?

    Waiting Period for New Laying Hens & Incubation of Their Eggs

    How long after a hen first starts laying should I wait to collect her eggs to incubate? The first eggs are always small so I don't know whether to wait until the eggs are bigger to ensure a bigger, healthier chick or if it's ok to go ahead and incubate. My Speckled Sussex has been laying for...

    Chick can't walk

    Did not have any replies but have been working the chicks toes out straight, massaging them, and putting them flat on the floor several times a day and now she can walk just fine. Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.

    Chick can't walk

    I have hatched my very first Black Copper Marans chick but it can not walk. It tries to stand but it's feet don't spread out. The outer toe is right up against the big toe in the middle. It sits back on its hocks after it tries to stand then lays it's head down like it is worn out. We had to...

    Strange Shape to Rooster Pupils

    I ordered this rooster from an individual breeder with the hopes of starting to have some of my own chicks since they aren't so easy to find. I will have to contact her to see if it is a trait in all of her roosters so I can see about replacing him. Thanks for the advice.

    Strange Shape to Rooster Pupils

    I have a Black Copper Marans Rooster that is about 3 months old. The pupil of his eye looks like someone took a dropper of ink and dropped it onto the colored part of his eye. Instead of a round pupil, his is irregular at the edges like when ink or watercolor runs on a page. Is this a...
