They just seem to do better. I’m thinking perhaps cause they are longer in body. However, I’ve had some people tell me they have had luck hatching them in an upright position on the turner. It just doesn’t work well for me.
I got myself some polish chickens. Omg they are goofy. Lol. I need more information on them. I usually raise call ducks, silkies, Cochins and Sebastopol geese. First time trying the polish. Here they are: I know my two girls are blue polish but have no clue about the rooster.
I will say your prediction was correct. He’s a sticky chick. Although it could be very well mistaken for a busted yolk. But not in your case. Now he doesn’t need food for at least three days. I personally won’t offer food for at least 24 hours and only if his up on his feet. Because once...
He may close up with out absorbing the rest of his yolk. As long as he’s lively as can eat and poop. He should be ok. He has to poop it’s very important that he does.
He’s looking very good. Get him some niacin and I think he’ll be ok. He still has some shrinking up to do be not as much. So he’s in good shape right now. Once he closed up more he’ll get steady on. His feet.
I’m probably going to keep most of them except the geese. I am down to five geese. Lost a couple of them to something. I didn’t think I would have an issue with something taken the geese because they are sooo big and heavy well something not sure what carried a few of them off during the night...
