    Looking for some advise regarding hatching Rhea eggs. What temperature and humidity and turning have people had the most success? Hatch upright or on their sides? How long does the incubation period tend to last? What day do you stop turning them. Just wanting advise mainly from people that...

    What colours do you think these silkies will be?

    I have 8 lovely silkie chicks that hatched today. 2 black 2 paint (I think) 2 partridge (the chipmunk striped ones??) And 2 unsure but they’re light brown and medium brown colour, any idea on the colour when they grow up? Thank you. Also it’s confusing so the cockerel was black running with...

    Does membrane look ok?

    So my chick had made an internal pop yesterday when I candled day 17 to prepare for lockdown today and this morning I’ve came to an external pip! Does this membrane look normal? Never had this before where it’s almost dried blood or somethin

    Does anyone know what incubator this is?

    It’s very old, still air, manual incubator and it’s actually really good I’ve had it about 6 years but I know my grandad has had it years before. There’s no name or anything on it. Only pic I have on my phone it’s half wooden base with plastic lid top. Can get more pics if needed

    Day 20 and weirdly alive under developed egg

    So I’m day 20 today, I’ve always kept a close eye on this one because it’s just a huge egg and to begin with I thought it was a double yolker. Well I candled it on day 17 and it didn’t have that bubble on the side, was totally normal other than the fact it looked like it had so much room left...

    Air sacs still too small Day 20

    So I’ve drew on the eggs where the air sacs are sitting. They’ve been fine up untiL I checked on day 18 for lockdown and they hadn’t changed massively from day 14. Doesn’t make sense as I’ve not had any water in there I was trying the dry it out method and my humidity had been sitting at around...

    Setting up Brinsea Polyhatch

    So it’s an older incubator and if I remember right I always struggled with they temp. So I’ve been writing readings the last few hours of the lowest and highest I’m getting. I’m not using the original thermostat as it broke. I’m using a digital Due (reptile) and a normal digital environment...

    Small air sacs

    So I’ve candled today which is day 11. I’ve noticed on some of my eggs the air sac looks small for day 11, and the chicks don’t look as far developed as the others. Is this probably because they was older eggs? Also small air sacs usually caused from high humidity? Which doesn’t make sense as my...

    Someone please help

    Few hours ago I found a dove on the floor, it hasn't tried to fly, it can't stand, I've checked it's wings and no obvious breaks (I'm doing animal management/vet nursing) and it can still easily move the wings and hold in the right place, one foot is fine, whereas the other is like curled when...
