    How long are they broody?...

    I have a broody silkie in with two other muttly hens. Silkie has stopped laying and collects the eggs from the other two. We are taking the eggs out everyday but she's still sitting....on the ground. These three have never used their nest boxes, have always layed their eggs on the floor of...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    Sounds to me like you got a bum batch from the farm that sent you those eggs, ON TOP of a bumpy, uncaring ride from the post person. I'm sorry, that is so disapointing! Did they write "hatching eggs" on the box & all that? I used a lot of differnet shipped eggs last spring and they just seem to...

    Possible splayed leg? Help please.

    A chick hatched out last night around 11pm very weak. This morning it was still laying about, looking alert but unable to walk because one of it's legs is sticking out behind it. Its not really trying to walk and can curl the leg up under itself but I haven't seen it put any pressure on it, it...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    I was up until 2:30am monitoring the 5 chicks I helped. I actually helped 6 but I was not concerned with the first hatcher at all. 4 of the others are doing fine, little umbilical still attached so they'll stay in the bator (that first hatcher went into the brooder this morning). The last one...

    CayuseRanch did you do a float test? If your temp was down consistantly you just might need to wait a couple days LaynaDon95 I'm so sorry about your little guy. Such a bummer he made it out but couldn't stay. I floated several of mine today and opened the ones that didn't move and they...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    Well, the bator seems to have stalled out of hatchers. I've got 15 peepers. I've got a couple pips but I'm not to hopeful after all the action today. I'll of course leave them & cross my fingers. LaynaDon- so sorry about your sick chick. Sad. Here's the helping link again...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    One of my chicks (I'm up to 14 now with one more zipped & pushing & 4 pips) has a really big head & it's neck looks sort of swollen. Anybody have this happening in their incubator?? I'm really hoping its just from getting out of the egg. I'm posting the "helping" link again. The hardest...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    I did a float test last spring and one sunk, I opened it & it had a live chick in it, I was SO sad. I wouldn't crack anything open until day 23 (unless it stinks), just to be safe. My middle of the night check had 2 chicks in the bator & this morning there are 5! Several zips & pips &...

    setting eggs tonight!! anyone else?

    I came home for lunch and had 2 pips, after school (I'm a substitute teacher) I have a total of 3. No zips, 3-4 eggs boppin' w/o pips & still some frantic peeping.....man, I hope they make it! The WORST is thinking they just need more time and then the bator gets quiet. I will not let this...
