I have one that feels the same way. I’ve noticed in the last couple weeks when I picked her up she felt really solid. I picked her up last night and she felt the same, like she weighed ten pounds. I’m searching for info on water belly now.

That’s great! Just give it time now. It’s good that it can hear the one chick. It will keep it motivated to hatch. Good luck!

Hello! I have bred silkie chickens for a few years and this month decided to hatch my first batch of polish eggs. Eggs were shipped from a breeder in Florida (I’m in NY). Eggs began hatching yesterday morning and finished up overnight last night. I had 3 in the brooder last night and they seemed...

In a situation like this they may pip at the pointy end and/or underneath the egg where you can’t see. Don’t be surprised if it happens and just handle each egg gently if you don’t see any pips. Those pips may be hiding in a weird spot.

You can just leave it and it will usually be gone in a day or two. Or you can take a warm, wet q-tip and try to loosen it up a little. But don’t worry, it will go away. Glad it’s doing good!

You have to do what your comfortable with and be comfortable with whatever the results may be. I hatch batches of ducks and chickens year round. And each year I gain more & more experience and do things slightly different based on cumulative results. This year I’ve hatched quite a few batches of...

Hello! I’m in Fishkill as well! I know Blue Seal feed store in Fishkill sells chicken coops. They have a few for sale out front. Tractor supply in Highland and New Windsor also sell them. You can join “Hudson Valley Farm Swap” on Facebook and people sometimes sell used chicken coops there as...

Hi Sharon! I do have eggs available now. My girls have been laying good. How soon would you like me to ship? I could ship this Tuesday if that would work for you. You would send me your email address and I send a PayPal money request. It’s $32 per dozen and shipping is an additional $15. Thanks...

Fresh eggs available!

Can you take a pic? If the chick had already started zipping there will not be any risk of blood. Honestly, it’s been way to long.

Yes, help it. Once a chick starts to upzip it is ready to hatch. The zipping process should not take longer then an hour. It may be positioned wrong or stuck. Just help by separating the rest of the shell where it already started zipping. It may be to tired to continue. Once they start zipping...

Just be patient. It can take up to 24 hours.

I agree, I don’t think that looks like the yolk sac. But I haven’t had a lot of experience with unabsorbed yolk. And the 2 times I did it resolved within a couple hours. I’ll post a before & after pic of one of them. As for the clicking sound I did have one chick that had that problem because it...

Great job getting them out safely!!!

Can you post some pics? I know we hear the term “shrinkwrapped” a lot but it’s actually pretty uncommon and often confused with the natural way the membrane forms to the baby at hatch time. I would put the one duckling that hatch with the yolk unabsorbed in a cup or some kind of dish so he can’t...

I wouldn’t wrap them with a wet paper towel, it can actually chill the egg. I know that “shrinkwrapped” is a term used a lot but it’s actually pretty uncommon and very often mistaken for the natural way the membrane forms to the chick during hatch. Can you please post a pic?

Yeah, I would say that that egg does not look good. There shouldn’t be that color fluid oozing out.
