I hatched these. The eggs came from my teenager daughters friend. The one with both bad legs is also not growing, like at all. Im helping her all day to the water and to the mash bowl. The other is growing and can get to food and water. I am keeping them separate from the other four, whom all...
These are from just this morning. The first one here has both bad legs. Still seeking advice and input. I have read the link you provided as well, though I'm not certain if it's slipped tendon or splayed leg. I grabbed a couple books from tsc and I've watched a few videos. I'm sure trying...
Ok so two of my hatched chicks arent great. One has a single splay leg, shes walking around trying to hold it up. The other has both. The hocks on all affected legs are swollen. It appeared shortly after hatch three days ago. I have been doing both tape and the band and straw method. I finally...
Yes eggs are! And ive already been reading about glassing eggs. Im excited to be able to do this! We are a house of meat eaters, and we cant afford to buy all organic free range. Knowing what i know about factory farming makes raising my own chickens to have had, as i quote, "one bad day" makes...
Luck! And watching for updates!
As far as my updates, I have one egg still not piped, i guess something happened. But of my 7 fertile, six hatched! Thats good odds! Also, one of my hatched chicks has hatched with both legs splayed, possibly a super long hatch did it(?) and one other with a...
Well, I'm glad you're getting a better machine! I've heard mine bashed, but it's done well for us. It's a little giant. Though I'll admit those brinsea's sounds awful nice! Lol. Good luck on the other eggs. I think I've got one roo so far, if the wing feather sexing is legit. Yay if so!!
Well
I have hatched 6 of 7. One of my hatched i was convinced was going to drown because the air bubble was so small on day 18, because my humidity was set very high throughout the entire process. I'm giving more time for this last one. I did candle it and there wasn't movement.
Any updates...
I have read someone had them hatch at day 25. Dont lose hope. Surely theres not much room for movement. Keep us updated, but if it were me id give them til day 25.
Today is day 22. I woke up on day 21 to a single pip and a seperate egg rocking. It took ALL day and the pip got a teeny bigger, then slowly 2 more pipped. Then out of nowhere i had three chickzillas tearing around the incubator.
Is this your first hatch too?...i dont remember. Maybe your temp...
So i havent had much time to post, today has been INSANE! I have three hatched cuties, they went right after each other! I still have another 4 in, but nothing yet from them. Fingers crossed!
Well now thats its "officially" day 21 ive woken to a teeny tiny external pip..? Its a crack, not even a hole. And my lone white egg is just a rocking! Like mosh pit style!!! I had to pry myself from the incubator to post. Do i worry about the not a hole- crack? Its middle of egg too, which ive...
Omg thank you!! Im going bananas!! Also i lectured my husband on miscounting days. And then i relooked over the calendar. Tomorrows day 21...
