If it is an injury I suggest asking your vet for .1 metacam injectable and .5 of penicillin. That dosage was for my hen that is 5 lbs. I find the injectable is way better than the oral metacam. Metacam will be for pain inflammation. My hen broke her leg bad after a few doses she’s doing so...
OK so I have a very broody Indonesian hen and she’ll hatch everybody’s eggs. So she’s been sitting on the eggs for three weeks and four of them hatch today I went over to the nest and noticed there was two eggs that have been pipped. Thank goodness she had just gotten off of them maybe an hour...
So I had stepped out for just maybe 2 1/2 hours and I got home and my incubator was at 104.2°. Now I am hatching quail not chickens, I was wondering if anyone knows if this is a death sentence for the quail to get up that high?
Ohhh yeah that's right I forgot about the shipping! They do go without heat when they ship. I have 10 live babies right now so hopefully enough will hatch and they can keep eacohther warm. Thanks for the advice. Hopefully the power stays on! ☺️
I'm in a direct Path of Irma in SC and I'm worried about losing power and my eggs are going to be at say 19 on September 11th when the hurricane is going to hit. My neighbor about a mile away has a generator. I think it might be too risky to move them. What do you think?
Ok so my eggs will be on day 19 on septber 11th. That's when we are supposed to be hit with the hurricane in Aiken South Carolina. I'm hatching Ayam Cemani so they tend to hatch on day 20. I'm worried if the power goes out they will drop to around 70 degrees. Will they die? What should I do? I...
No definitely not from the dog. They were lumps or growths that were not red. She was sick from something and I was just wondering if that is why my dog singled her out
I noticed about 3 days ago one of my hens, about 4 1/2 months, had a lump on her face. I put some vetamax on it. Then as I was sitting outside with my friend, she noticed and screamed "yer dog is eating your chicken!!!" I ran over and scooped her up, scolded my dog, and she was limp, not dead...
Yes. Candle the egg and find out where the egg sac starts and pip right there. Go slowly. It's worth a shot cause he probably most likely won't hatch on his own. He needs your help! Keepme updated please
In my personal experience those that did not hatch most likey will not. If you can hear taping still in that one egg I would get him out NOW. But that's just me. My clutch just hatched yesterday and I got 14/18. The 14th chick I had to help get out because he was drying out and getting week. Now...
I've hatched eggs a few times but I've never seen a pip at day 19. Too early for a pip? I have an assortment of eggs (brown, cream, white, green) and two green smaller eggs are on there way out. I was wondering if anyone else had pipping this early
