So I have a question for everyone... I have a chick that's about a week old and is consistently chirping, and I don't see him eating or drinking at all.. I've tried bringing him to the water and dipping his beak and still he doesn't drink, same with the food.. He just stands in one stop with his...
Hey I'm Amanda! This is the homemade chicken tractor I just recently built. It still needs some wheels but it works for now. :) And these are my chicks. I've got 26 French Black Copper Marans and I just hatched 10 Easter Eggers
Make some little sandles out of thin cardboard and tape his toes stretched out and if he is walking with his legs out at all wrap some tape around his legs to keep them in. I had to do this with one of my chicks from this hatch. Was fixed within a day and a half. :)
What should I do in this situation?? It looks like this poor guy is shrink wrapped in his membrane.. I was worried about him BC he had a big air bubble before so I candled him and this is what I saw. The air bubble almost takes up half the shell now.
I heard my first peeps and I went to check on them and I have my first pip!!! I've never made it this far in incubation before, how amazing!!:celebrate
I finally put my eggs in lockdown, 17 made it. They are technically 21 days along but the temp was too low for some of the time so they developed slower. I pray they will all hatch okay! Getting nervous!!:fl
