I have 2 brahma and 2 silkie.
Silkies are 3 days old than brahma.
The silkies look identical, can only tell them apart as one has slightly more grey spots on it's back.
Brahma are yellow and other is white/grey.
The white/grey Brahma has begun chest bumping a couple of times but other than...
So this is one of my pav eggs. I'm fairly sure its dying, looks like the veins are breaking up? The chick its self is moving but seems almost crunched up one end, less free moving than others if that makes sense.
Another one of my pav eggs has good movement, healthy veins but one or two spots...
Hi, one of my silkie chicks developed wry neck yesterday. It's worse today however the chick is still walking, eating and I'm fairly sure drinking although its spending slightly more time under the brooder than the others. Seems to be struggling to navigate around a little bit.
Their feed is...
I have 3 chamois polish and 1 ayam cemani that are currently nearly 6 weeks old. In just over a week two of the polish are going to my mother in laws yard to live but ideally I'm looking to send any males to her and keep any pullets as shes set up for cockerels bit better than me being in a non...

So one of my chicks is soooooo loud. It kicks off if the other chicks leave it to go and eat, it only settles when it sleeps or being held.
It is a bit of a weird one, was assisted hatch, smaller than others, doesnt stand up unless it's running around, missing a claw on one toe.
I've seen it...
One of my chicks doesnt seem able to properly stand up. Its legs are not splayed so I dont think its spraddle leg, it seems to scoot about but it wont stand up fully. It sways backwards on its knees at times.
It looks like its ankles (?) Dont bend properly. Its eating drinking and moving...
So the last of my hatch needed assistance.
Yolk was all absorbed but it was in an odd position and had dried up quite a lot so helped it out
It made it through the night, yolk was all absorbed etc but it's not fluffing up very well, it's fluffed a little underneath and around neck but it's...
I'm pretty sure these two are dead. No movement at all. one looks like blurred blood ring type stuff and the other there is one vein that's super faint.
Just wondering when to give up and remove? I still have 2 in incubator, one nearly hatched and another I dont think will hatch due to size so...
So 11 eggs. 8 polish, 3 ayam.
All from same supplier, in same incubator.
First hatched yesterday morning. We now have 6 hatched in total, 5 of which have hatched throughout today, all polish.
1 ayam has pipped early hours of this morning but no further progress. Not sure when to check on it?
1...
So one of my eggs when candles at 7 days showed what looked like a super faint crack however it never oozed or showed on the surface, only when candling.
Today was the beginning of hatch day. We have one chick out and majority of the others are very vocal, internally pipped etc.
"Crack" egg has...
So I have 8 polish and 3 ayam cemani in my incubator.
Originally had 4 ayam but lost one at 14 days. One ayam seems less developed than other two but very much alive.
Polish all doing well at lockdown candling.
Last night two had internally pipped and we had some cheeping.
This morning I came...
Recently brought two chickens from my yard to my house to live in the garden. The kids chose which two. One is this scraggly looking thing, lays, eats, drinks etc all happy but yard owner said it was attacked a few months ago & since then it experienced feather loss and gets panicked if it sees...
Just wondering having seen some different threads.
Does the shrink wrapping situation happen if you open the incubator once a chick has internally pipped or only when its externally pipped?
