Hello! We have had AWFUL raining and storms 2 days ago and the water flooded everything! I found 5 geese eggs scattered on the shoreline, one was submerged underwater, another partially submerged and the rest was covered in icky debris. The water was chilly that day and I don't know how long...
Hello! I have been in search of Silkie eggs that I could hatch myself. I can't find anyone selling silkie eggs nor chicks in my area so I'm thinking about buying some online.
The only thing with online shopping is that I had some bad experience with buying eggs from eBay. The silkie eggs that...
I went to take care of my chickens this morning when I seen a chick laying down, dead. It broke my heart! Nothing could harm them! i have them inside the coop where it's closed off. I went to see how the other chick's were doing and one seemed to just stand there and do nothing. I felt how cold...
I need some help! I started incubating bantam eggs on the 15 of March. I counted 21 days and they are said to hatch on the 4th of April. Today (the 2nd) was the day I am suppose to stop turning for them to hatch. But when I candled the eggs, I can still see blood vessels and the egg is not...
I am hatching Silkie chicks and two already hatched perfectly. I also had another chick try to hatch, but when it did not un zip like the last two, super fast! I got worried. I pulled back most of the shell and found that the membrane dried out onto the chick. He is peeping loudly but trying to...
Hello, my goose chick piped the shell yesterday and we removed some shell and some membrain today, I hatched two geese last year but they keep moving around and peeping. This one doesn't really do anything, I was wetting the shell and tapped the beak a cuple of times to check if he was alive and...
I'm trying to hatch 2 of the last Silkie eggs I have and 2 goose eggs. And I have a tiny incubator that won't hold all of the eggs so I got a box with a blanket and a bowl of water and a heat lamp. It worked for me when I hatched my geese last year and I decided that I would try it this way to...
All my silkies got eaten in one nigh, I am very sad:(. So I was looking at chicks and hatchable eggs online and there was a add for jumbo pharaoh Japanese brown quail and I looked up if they are loud and I was kinda confused. There where yes's and no's.
So I was just wondering if anyone could...
(Like my other post) we just got back from vacation and I found my silkie in the coop with his eyes closed. His head looks like he went in a battle with another rooster and I went inside to get my camera, when I came out he was walking around with only one eye open, the other eye looked like...
I am trying to hatch a goose egg and two silkies and it seems to be going great! Then i have learned that we are going on a short vacation but the trip down is long, I have no one to turn the eggs for me and I was thinking that I could put them in a box with a lot of protection so they don't...
This morning I went outside and I notices my rooster was not with the other silkies. I noticed that he was just standing there with his eyes shut, I picked him up and I could pet him but he just seems to do nothing, he does not look hurt and I tried to feed him but when ever I shake the food...
