We had ONE hatch. She was adorable and thought I was her mother. I was doing an imprinting project for school and it was working perfectly.Her name was Pippin and it was devastating when she died. Somehow the heat lamp came undone and fell. It fell right on top of her. We were heartbroken. It...
We have had quite the cold one up here in the Endless Mountains region. Because of this our sweet rooster has suffered frost bite to both his feet. One foot is curled and slowly turning black. The other has toes starting to turn black and unnaturally yellow. He's such a sweet boy and we do not...
Our favorite rooster and only silkie rooster was attacked by my dog today. Yes my dog. I'm heartbroken. The poor guy doesn't seem like hes going to make it. He lost a wing totally and has a bit on his head. He's still breathing but eyes closed. I feel like I should have my husband put him...
Hi. I have a Cayuga that just hatched . Same issue. For several reasons we helped her hatch and she also has the bellybutton. The leftover sak was allready ruptured from her pecking and had fallen off. Is she okay? Just hatched twenty minutes ago.
Hello,
since about 6 last night till now, we had a duckling who was hatching. In the past, when the shell starts to dry around the chick we peel it off. iT'S SAVED SEVERAL LIVES, AS THIS CONDITION KILLS. I did so for our ducky and she was fine. i just had to help her hatch all the way. she was...
I can't believe that no hatch yet but definite movement in at least a few eggs. They are on day 35. Should I try to help? I have 3 therm's in there and the temp is good. Would something with the rough shipping make this happen.
I have shipped cayuga duck eggs on day 32. I candled again yesterday (before giving up on the hatch) and saw movement in 7. Not sure on 1. We use a little giant still air. Had an auto turner that we took out a few days before day 28. Temp has been right about 99.5 based on the therm it came...
I have shipped cayuga duck eggs on day 31 but just candled again (before giving up on the hatch) and saw movement in 7. Not sure on 1. We use a little giant still air. Had an auto turner that we took out a few days before day 28. Temp has been right about 99.5. Let it go down a little for...
we tried what you posted, but ended up culling her. We believe she contracted something from our meat birds. Two of those had to be butchered early also. Thank you everybody!
Your links don't work. I would place her in a brooder (cardboard box) directly next to the other brooder (to help with heat) and supply her with food and water. Also put a teaspoon of sugar in her water. Watch her constanly for a day. If she seems to be drinking better and still not eating, make...
Sometimes you have to wait these things out! We, one year, got a beautiful little buff orphington from TSC. well, that's what we thought we bought. Within three days he had surpassed the others ridiculously in weight and pulsated when breathing. We freaked. This was a cornish not our cutie. Oh...
(These are all educated guess but don't bet on me!!!) I'm guessing the light chipmunk is an EE, the red is a rhode island red, black is a australorp, no clue on the other one!
Also we got six bantam chicks all under three days old, one chipmunk style with REALLY long legs (pretty sure it's a game hen), three bluish lavender with faint chipmunk markings, one fat back, one fat lavender with poofy cheeks. Any ideas?
