I bought a Cayuga duckling that was all by itself in the brooder. The rest of the flock didn’t make it except this little fighter. I don’t have much experience with ducks but this little guy doesn’t get up much and sleeps a lot. He also shakes pretty bad. We got two pekin from another flock and...
I was wondering if I could separate my parakeets to train them one on one. I’ve had them for about 3 and a half months now and there’s been some progress but not a lot taming wise. One is really panicky which makes it harder to tame the other. I believe that they are both males.
I have a buff Orpington Americana cross that is about 8 weeks old maybe a little younger than that. I have raised him since he came out of the egg and when he was younger he was the sweetest little thing, he would follow you around and try to jump on your shoulder if you were sitting down. Now...
Our neighbors free range rabbit dug a hole under our shed and ended up having babies in there. I know rabbits only come at night to feed their babies but she hasn’t come back. I looked in the den and I saw that two babies were dead and I don’t know how many are in there. I don’t know if I should...
Our neighbor has a free range rabbit that has been at our house for about two and a half months, whenever we bring her over she comes back. The neighbors haven’t said anything so we put out water and food for her, but she started to have a slight limp. We didn’t think much of it at the time...
My chick is approaching the 3 day mark and still won’t stand or dry out. It just lays there on it’s back, occasionally flapping it’s wings, but makes a lot of noise. One of its legs shakes a lot and it’s still not drying out it fluffed up a little behind the legs but otherwise it won’t dry.
This is my first hatch and my chick looks like it’s neck is twisted I don’t know for sure but it just lays there and rolls and chirps. I was just wondering if this chick is ok and I’m just worrying too much
My chick finally hatched! But it looks like there’s stuff hanging off the back of the chick. It hasn’t stood up and its feet shake and it kind of rolls. I’m just worried and this is the first time that I’ve hatched. Sorry I couldn’t get better pics
Ok so it’s been over 24 hours and my chick has made very little progress. It’s not unzipping but it doesn’t seem weak, it makes noise and it moving but it seems to only want to just keep its head out of its hole. It also seems to try fit through the small hole it’s made. I have been reading and...
My chick pipped last night and it approaching the 24 hour mark and it’s only made a hole the size of a penny. It looks like it has cross beak and only is poking its beak out and it doesn’t look like it’s trying to unzip. It’s making noise and moving but isn’t breaking any shell. Should I wait as...
My first chick pipped in the middle of the night. This is the first time in a very long time that I have hatched chicks, I went in and checked and one pipped but I’ve seen no movement and heard no noises and it’s been a couple hours that I’ve checked up on it and still no movement. My humidity’s...
My eggs still haven’t hatched and it’s day 25 so I candled the eggs and one egg was completely dark with no visible air sac, my humidity’s been correct throughout the 25 days and now it’s at 65% and all of the other eggs look normal. I was wondering if it is still alive or should I take it out?
Last night another transformer blew and we were without power for about 5 hours. It was suppose to be hatching day but there’s been no movement or noises. It happened last night but I didn’t know about it till this morning. There was a power outage on day 18 and another one on day 5 I’m worried...
Our power just went out and our chicks are supose to hatch in a couple days. I didn’t open the incubator and wrapped it with a blanket hoping it would keep some heat.
I don’t know when the power will be back on, I hope it’s soon. Are the chicks ok? Or will they not make it?
I have a male Holland lop that isn’t fixed and there’s been a female rabbit (I don’t exactly know the breed but it’s a bigger breed) that’s been coming into the yard and we have a pen on the ground that I keep them in during the day when it’s warm, I had my male rabbit out and I went to the...
We had our eggs incubating for about 3 days when last night a bunch of transformers in the neighborhood blew up and caught fire, and our incubator was shut off from midnight to 8 in the morning. Is it possible that they still could hatch? Or should i restart with new eggs?
Out of the 2 Easter Egger chicks I got (supose to both be pullets) one ended up being a rooster. He’s about 6 ish months old and is crowing a lot, but he doesn’t act like a rooster. He won’t go near the other hens and goes off by himself, I was hopeing to breed him but he won’t go anywhere near...
