So I candled this morning on day 19 because I got home really late last night and was unable to candle on day 18. I think this chick is upside down in the egg because I'm almost positive I see a foot in the air cell. The picture is not that great but it looked more like a foot 10 minutes before...
Does my air cell look ok for day 16? Is it big enough? And do you think the chick is big enough to day 16? I know it might be hard to tell with my crapy camera. Any opinion would be appreciated. This is my first time hatching eggs.
I put my eggs in the incubator on Friday July 29th at around 5pm. The incubator had been running for 2 days prior to me adding the eggs. The temp has stayed pretty steady at between 99.4 and 99.8. I want to take off work for when they are hatching but I don't know what day is more likely, Friday...
Got these at Green Dragon small animal auction in Ephrata, PA. No one wanted them and I thought they were cute so I bought them for $1.50 a piece. Both have lightly feathered feet. What breed or mix do you think they are?
This hen that I have has a respiratory infection and I was giving her 1 cc of poultry drench and now she is having trouble breathing and keeps coughing. I put it in her mouth on her tongue and let it slide down her throat but I guess she breathed it in. Is there anything I can do??
Does anyone know how effective these blinking light predator repellents are? A couple brand names are Nite Guard or the one in the link below called Predator Eye. I'm more concerned about racoons and opossums...
