We were given a 1 week old and a 2 week old Silkie on Saturday. The 2 week old died this afternoon. She was shaking yesterday when we held her and I thought she was scared. When I found her today she had fluid coming out of her mouth. I cleaned the cage really good and now our little guy is...

I was unsuccessful at hatching eggs twice at home so someone gave us 2 Silkies today. One is 1 week old and the other is 2 weeks old. We have set up a brooder for them. The older one seems to be adjusting ok, but the little one has not stopped chirping or laid down since he has been here...

It's day 24 and I just candled my Polish eggs. One is definetly alive. In the other I can see bubbles moving when I move the egg. Is this one a goner? :(

It's day 23 and our Polish eggs haven't hatched yet. We're completly new to this. I've read other threads that say to be patient, but how long do I wait? When should I candle them again? We had 4 eggs. Two didn't make it past 12 days so now I'm worried about these two.
