After worrying they might not hatch, 3 chicks have hatched today 😊 Anxiously waiting for more. I think we have a staged hatch, when is best to moved unhatched eggs into incubator?
My hen is broody and sitting on 14 eggs, I think noticed her 23 days ago. I have moved her to a separate coop and candled at approx 18 days (dark with air line at the bottom) I’m unsure how many days she has been “incubating” them. What shall I do?, how long shall I wait? Will they hatch
First...
Help! I have just moved my 10 day old chicks into this, their old brooder got to small! They keep eating sawdust and flying round will they end up hurting themselves??
Hi I'm a newbie.
Can anyone give me some help and guidance on this. I am thinking of getting 2 chicks at a time probably 6 months apart, do you think this would be a good idea?
A few people mentioned a new chick might get picked on but if I introduce 2 at a time this might not happen?
Help...
Can anyone help with sexing my chick on the left we think he/she is a white sussex crossed with a leghorn. 5 days old (that's what I was told anyway). Let me know if you want any better pictures
Hi Everyone.
I'm a newbie :)
I collected my first ever baby chicks on Tuesday (03.03.15)
Hatched on Friday (27.02.15)
1 White Sussex X Leg Horn (Popcorn)
1 Maran X Faverolle (Nugget)
(fingers crossed the breeder was correct and they are hens)
Has anyone owned any of these before...
