Help! I just noticed this the other night. 2 or 3 days ago I cut it open trying to drain it, but I couldnt get any pus out of it. I put iodine ointment on it and wrapped it today I opened it up again & this is what it looks like:
I had 7 Wyandotte eggs & 6 jubilee orpington eggs incubating. Candled, & one is fertile. It's a Wyandotte egg.
I think my orpingtons have too much butt fluff....
Anyone have trimming experience?
I've been busy! I have 4 blue d'uccle chicks! I also have 3 moms with one baby each! two moms live together. All of the babies are around two weeks old.
Question.... Could i try to put the 4 blue d'uccles with the two moms and their two babies? Would this work or be a disaster?
My broody black copper Maran just hatched one of her eggs! A cute little black chick!...but.... The only rooster around is a splash laced red Wyandotte? Isn't the chick supposed to be blue?
The chick is out! I think it just needed a little help. It had a perfect round pip but no cracks around it to help the zip. I think I did just enough cracking for him to get out!
The humidity is 72% & the beak/airway is clear. The hole is small and round. I didn't make it any bigger, I just cracked around it so the little guy can try and pip...
hey please help me out. I have D'uccles hatching. It began at 10:30 last night. The one egg started first, & had a tiny hole in it, but no real cracks. It hasn't zipped at all. I took tweezers and just wiggled the hole so it could get some cracks to help it zip. What else should I do?
