I wont be able to get Corid till the morning.. is there any natural remedy to keep her alive until then? She is looking rather weak and I don't think will make it till morning...
BIG PROBLEM...
I bought five sizzle chicks from a person in town, not a very savory looking person, but hey, they are sizzles... what could go wrong?
Within two days three died, the following two days another died and then there was one left. This one, "Gooey", has been doing well. Running...
All pasty butts cleared... but black one after an hour has wing hanging low on the side, like dragging it, and was laying on its side with leg up until another chick came over and nudged it and then it started walking around though with wing hanging limply.
We purchased 5 sizzle chicks from a somewhat local person. First day seemed fine, one was a little sluggish but only about 2 days old.
Yesterday, that slow one died. Okay, not a problem, that happens. Then today, one that had been doing great earlier at the end of the day all of a sudden...
We have two Rouen Ducks that we have raised since a week old. I think we have one male, one female... but not sure.
Male or Female, or one of each?? Thanks!!!
A second egg hatched this morning! Fluffy and yellow with some wisps of black. No idea what kind... We are on Day 20 now... waiting for more to hatch or pip.
HATCH! We are on Day 19 (Day 20 is at 8pm tonight) and at 3:25pm the green egg named Rawr hatched! No idea what kind of chick it is, the person we got the 18 eggs from has a huge mixture of chickens and mixes. She does have a frizzle rooster and buff orpingtons too (yay! most excited about those)
Our eggs went into lockdown a few hours ago! :) Not all the eggs were fertile, but out of 18 eggs, 7-8 are possible to hatch 3 of them being very likely from all their movement. :)
My hubby went to the brooder and the heat lamp had gotten unplugged somehow, all 7 7-week chickens are all feathered, all were fine but one whom was just sitting by the door. She is chirping a big, but not moving around. We brought her inside and put her in our inside brooder with heat lamp...
Hi all... looking to start another incubating batch soon and I need eggs.... I am in Shelton, wa and can travel to olympia, lacey, tumwater, rochester, belfair for eggs...
Mixes are fine with me too! Anyone have any frizzle, buff orpington, rhode island reds, black australorp, favecona...
Hi all, lots of catching up on posts to do for me...
We are on Day 20! No pips yet but we are anxiously waiting.... and waiting... Last hatch we had most on day 19 and 20, but the temp was higher then. We've had some temp flucuation issues the first week or so...so wouldnt be surprised if...
Good to know. Not so trusting of our new incubator is the biggest issue, should have ran more testing on it first.
We had one egg with massive cracks in the top, I think the temp gauge fell on it when it disconnected from the rod. Put it in a ziploc and cracked open the rest of the way...
