Well I am not sure yeat but I think that I may be ****** at myself for doing something that I have yet to do in the last 6 hatchings. I have hatched out over 400 chicks in the last couple of months or so and I have never had splayed legs. Didn't even know what it was. Instesd of letting the...
I have read on here that all you have to do is pick them up and look at the area behing the bung hole and if it is swelled up then you have yourself a roo. Well they are 4.5 weeks old now and I cannot tell any difference. Is there anything else that I can look at to tell. Is there any facial...
Hello all. Not sure if I can do anything or it may be to late but I just went out to water all the birds and I seen one of my hens laying in the dirt covered with ants. I grabbed her and sprayed her off with water to clean her up and her legs and wings are lifeless. She just lays there. If I...
Ok. I am on day 16 and could have swore I saw some pipping and egg shaking on day 15 last night.
My question is: I have 136 eggs waiting to hatch and how long can the first chick hang out in there before it needs to come out while waiting on the others to hatch. I don't want to remove the top...

Wire is 5" off the ground with a 33" x 33" dog crate plastic under it.
Bottom is 1/4" mesh.
Sides are 15" above the 1/4"...

What do you think happened. Why so big. I've had a bantam that wasn't this big.
I just picked up a pair of younger Mandarins.
ARE THEY ALWAYS FREAKING OUT.
These 2 ducks need to be put on prozac or something. I have not turned them out with the others yet, so I still have them in a wire cage in the shed trying to get them to calm down. Everytime I walk into the shed...

This is the bator with the top on. I added a fan to it. I also added the digital...
Ok. I have owned my new still air GQF incubator since the beginning of April. I understand that eggs from eBay is not the best in the world but I just learned this. I ordered 21 auracauna bantam eggs and 3 peacock eggs. I set them and it seems as if they were doing fine. Well they never hatched...
I looked at my eggs this morning. And there is a little hole in it. I guess it is what you call a pip. Like I said. I have never hatched out eggs before. Today is suppose to be the hatch day. What do I do just wait on them to do what they do.
Okay, I am going to order some coturnix eggs from somewhere. eBay or wherever is good. If you know of any good places, let me know.
Could you explain the incubation process for these eggs from when I get them off my front porch till hatch. I have read so many different things. I just want the...
Where is the best place to get good, big, fertile eggs. I live in Iowa Park, TX. I know that the closer the eggs are to me the better they should be. I want to get into quail but thought I would raise up my first ones on my own. Not unless some people on here may know of someone close to me that...
