    how long after external pip does the chick hatch

    Sorry, just read about your power problems. Maybe open up the hole just a little bit and see if you can see any of the inside vessels and go from there

    how long after external pip does the chick hatch

    When my were hatching and I was nervous I googled it and it can take up to 24 hours. I had a few that were about 11 or 12 hours which was so nerve wracking! So I would say wait unless you feel there is a problem. You can do more harm then good.

    how long after external pip does the chick hatch

    The first hatch is always so nerve racking. I haven't helped any hatch. All mine that started finished. I would have helped if they needed it but I know you have to be really careful that the inside of the egg is dried up and absorbed or they will bleed out. Good luck!

    Black Specks on RIR comb. Why?

    3 out of 4 of my girls have these black marks. Is it peck marks? They are all laying now and get mad when "their" box is taken that they prefer. The one that doesn't have them is the dominant one. Thank you!

    you need a rooster to umm...Be friendly with her to fertilize and hatch eggs. A gen will hatch and mother any eggs if she is broody and determined. Some will not do it, some will sit on them for a while and give up and some will go the whole 21+ days. Depends on her stamina and determination...

    sore on pad of foot

    A few days ago my friend gave me her chicken (I think a Silver Laced Orpington) after her other chicken got killed by an opossum. It was shy and kind of hid for a couple of days and yesterday I noticed it was limping. I checked her foot and there is a sore on the pad and it is swollen. I am...

    Brooder Box outside?

    I am only hatching 4 this time but I don't want them terrorized. Maybe I will just suck it up and have them inside again. Thanks

    Brooder Box outside?

    Thanks! We do not have any cougars around. We do have coyotes but I don't think they have come in our backyard. I do have a covered patio and that is where I was thinking of keeping them. Thanks again

    Brooder Box outside?

    Dang it. It got messy last time we had them in the house...the dust and little feathers ended up everywhere! I was hoping I could keep them outside. We don't have a garage, barn or shed to put them in. Thanks!

    Brooder Box outside?

    Hi, I am doing my 2nd hatch and was wondering if anyone puts their brooder box outside? Mine has a latch I can lock it with but we do have raccoons, opossums and cats in the area. Do you think they would scare or torment the chicks? Below is picture of the box which is currently storing my hay...

I think I got him a home, but my next door neighbor has a Rhode island red that he will have to find a new home for once he starts crowing much. Where do you live? Thanks again. My girls want to find nice homes for them and yours sounds...
