Has anyone ever had your Brinsea incubator make a funny noise? It appears to be working ok, but it sounds like it's revving ipfrom time to time like it's going to take flight If I move it around a bit it stops but then starts back up. Any thoughts?
I ordered 6 ducklings from Ideal. They included 13 "males for warmth." 13! I cannot even have roosters where I live. 1 duck arrived dead. One duck was sick (runny eye and stuffy nose). I'm not sure if this was a cold or a virus. The sick duck died within 2 days. Several dead chicks. This...
I have a ceramic heat bulb over its brooder. I also put a petsafe heating pad under its paper towels after realizing it just wasn't warm enough. I'm also covering it will little scraps of flannel fabricmy husband thinks I've lost my mind
Thank you for your help. I have started the chick on poly vi sol, but I will have to look into the selenium. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
Her skin is just a reddish pink color. That's the color she was when she hatched. I'm pretty sure there's no lice. I hatched her and she never been outside. I do believe she gets cold but I can't figure out that weird spasm. That's a good thought on scratching. I'll definetly do that. And...
I've posted this in another thread if you've already seen it please disregard.
I have a little chick about 2 weeks old. Part of a staggered hatch. I believe one of the other chicks may have jumped on it. Anyways, it's got a slipped tendon that we've been caring for and trying to heal for a few...

so I found one of my my little week old chicks in the brooder yesterday struggling to walk. Really not using its legs at all. I put shoes on and nothing. I put band aids in thinking straddled and that didn't work. So I'm looking at the legs wondering if it's a slipped tendon. But I'm not 100%...
I usually keep mine around 60-65. Once they hatch, the humidity will rise on its own. I would say over 75% is too high unless a chick just hatched. If it gets that high just crack it a bit and let it come down. I open my incubator all the time during lockdown as long as nothing is pipped...
Is it possible she's gone broody? My cream leg bar acted like she was sick. She'd just sit by herself and then finally got in the best with that faraway look. I agree it may be best to isolate her regardless.
