Honestly I just cut them down a tiny bit around the top and then cut a little hole in the bottom part and slipped it over them. No specific way really.
I tried it with older ones and they were NOT receptive. 😆
I’ve always just used a 60w in a clip on desk lamp and made sure the sides are closed in to keep the heat in. They’ll move closer to the light as they need it and Vice versa.
A friend posted on my fb showing pics of chicks with what looked like skirts on...and asked me to try to recreate to brighten her day. So...this happened...
I work at the post office and we call, BUT you can always request that your carrier deliver them to you. We have had that happen before. Not often, but it has.
If you have any dogs outside or your neighbor does, I’d make sure you’ll be there, though in case the carrier leaves the box on the porch.
I allowed the kids some free will at tsc three weeks ago and I’m not actually sure what breeds we got. This one especially worries me because it’s huge and I’m afraid a broiler got chosen by the guy by mistake rather than what we’d told him.
This girl turns 18 in a few weeks. She’s going to miss her prom. Her high school/early college graduation. And her 18th birthday. She’s crushed. It was supposed to be such a special year. Now she can’t even see her friends that day.
It’s “no big deal” in the grand scheme of things, but it sure...
Honestly, I try to think of chicken mamas. They don’t do everything perfect. They just move them around with their legs. Heck they even get broody poop on them which is VILE. 😆
🤞 for your hatch!
Leave them alone if possible. Remember they have to absorb the egg yolk before they can fully hatch safely and some take longer than others. Do you have a clean sponge you could soak and put in there quickly? I would try that. Once they start hatching, humidity will rise.
Thank you! We only had 12 hatch out of 26. My biggest disappointment is that I went to bed with six pipped and by morning, 4 of those just died in their shells. 😭
I hope your hatch finishes off spectacularly! Here are ten of my 12 goobers.
Were they due today?
I’m hatching as well, due tomorrow, but ten out so far. I lost one after it had completely zipped and I’m not sure why. Just died before it made it out. I’ve candled a bit ago and several have internally pipped so here’s hoping for great hatches for both of us! 🤞 Hope more...
