I just picked up a hen today, pretty little girl but not laying yet as per the previous owner. Can anyone tell me at about what age they can start laying?
I have three chicks left from my last hatch of 3/27, Buff Orph rooster over Black Star Hen or Australorp hen. $4 each or all 3 for $10. Straight run. Edgewater outside of Annapolis.
I have 6 Red Bourbon turkey poults, Asking $10 each. Hatched on 6-4 and all eating and drinking well. I'm in Edgewater right outside of Annapolis, prefer PU but will travel a little ways to deliver. I will also be in the Lietersburg area on June 27th if anyone wants to pick them up that day. I...
Anyone interested in leghorn and mix chicks? I have 13 chicks hatched on April 3-4 and all need new homes. $10 for all, straight run. Including one Orphington and one Polish/EE cross. Located outside of Annapolis.
My final count of hatched chicks was 27. Although im happy with the chicks I am not happy that I lost so many babies. I know what I did wrong and I Wil not be incubating that way again. Everyone that hatched is health and growing, even the three I had to help. So to show off a few of these...
I did wake up to humidity being 45 and borough back up to 60. Of course now that I've finally asked about it she's started to make some progress to hatch out. I should have asked sooner so she would be here already! LOL. Thanks guys and to those I didnt quote too, huge huge help!
this baby has been pipped since last night. Still moving around and peeping with rest periods. Membrane is very yellow now but pliable. Leave it alone right?
So many babies and so many posts, LOL. Cant read them all now but I will! Here is the promised pic of the first to hatch last night. Pretty little Serema. She finally had a cohort hatch about 20 minutes ago who is a completely different color.[/IMG]
oh no!! Ive got two Seremas that pippedthis morning, tthey've wiggled and peeled a couple times but that's it. No other pips yet and no progress. My nerves are going to be shot till they are out.
I hate when they stop wiggling! I know they are resting and there is a lot going on but holy cow does it make my stress levels go up! I have Seremas and silkies in the one bator and they are all very small eggs, ive been prepared for thwm to hatch a day or two early just in case. I put them on...
Mine are due to hatch Friday but in one of the incubators I have had wiggled since last night! I think I watched off and on for over an hour today just to catch them. I added a little more water to slowly up humidity csse they start early. Ive got silkies and Seremas in that bator. The hovering...
To of my incubators are DIY and have water heater thermostats and computer fans, I drilled the holes to the sensors a little bigger so it gets the true air temp hopefully more accurately. Ive noticed those can spike up to 102 but weirdly only in the middle of the night. They normally stick...
I don't see why they should need to be tweeked (although I know it happens). You would think the thermostats would do their job.
I was paying more attention to this hatch and just realized they feel heavier when they are close to hatch. Maybe it's just me bit they seem to have a more...
