It's day 23 and nothing. No wiggles, nothing. I don't know why. The only thing getting big is the air cell. I added more humidity today. Bit I'm confused are my babies dead?
So, this is my first time hatching eggs. We were planning on getting a Tractor supply incubator but a friend of ours said he had one we could have. Turns out this incubator is a Marsh Roll-X automatic incubation. It has a self turner and used to have a water bottle attached to a trough. Anyone...
Today I went out to give my birds some yogurt, when I noticed my EE hen breathing. I noticed she had chipped a few centimeters of her top beak off. Will she be okay? So far it doesn't look like she's struggling to eat.
So this chicks where on day 5 and I think I see some veins. I had to crank up the baton to 99• but anyway do you guys think their alive? I have three that have this. It's like tiny veins.
You see it? I couldn't get a very clear picture.
So I have two eggs under a hen. The two eggs are from a Golden Laced Wyendotte x New Hampshire red Rooster. Would anyone possibly know what the outcome would be like? Would the solid orange like color dominate the lacing? I'm very excited for the babies. And curious of the outcomes. Has anyone...
I have a little EE who's about 7/8 months old and she is just fascinated with eggs. Every time I come out to collect eggs she's always behind me watching me and then will hop into the nest to Investigate. I laid down a clutch of eggs mixed with hers and some others. And she hopped up turned them...
So on Saturday I noticed this strange bump on my Polishs beak close to her nose. I made sure it didn't block it, nothing seemed that bit out of whack she acted fine was alert and eating well. So today I got out there and it's gotten extremely worse and I don't know what to do! It's all bloody...
So today I went to check on the chicks when I heard my 7 month old GLW make this raspy sounded cluck. It sounded like she was struggling to breath and was breathing out her mouth. She was fine yesterday, it also sounds like she is congested. I have a video but have no clue how to post it any...
I think I have an intreasting question on my hands. Ok well I read somewhere that a roo will only breed hens that he finds are suitable. Someone put a big Tom turkey in with a tiny sebright and not once did he try to mount her. Hence the fact he didn't think she was suitable. So I have a big New...
