    Silkies!

    I would try maybe giving her probiotics & some yogurt to culture good gut health. Make sure that her vent is clean and not blocked. You can soak her in some warm water if she’s having trouble going. She might have something else going on, is there any blood in her droppings and is she on...

    How Long After Internal Pip Should You Assist

    It looks like you are doing a good job helping her out so far and it does indeed look like all the blood vessels have receded in that area, all good things! I'd say just keep doing what you're doing by slowly helping her out if she doesn't make any progress on her own. Just be very careful that...

    Oh, I just realized you ordered eggs instead of chicks. I would call and see if you could get some clarification on the date.

    They might be waiting for a certain breed that you ordered to finish hatching, and that's the uncertainty in the date. When I ordered from Murray McMurray hatchery it was the same way and we just tracked them in called in each day to see when they would get here. =)

    How Long After Internal Pip Should You Assist

    Looks good, I'd bump up the humidity to 60-70% now and leave her in a closed incubator and let her have some time to make progress. Prayers for her to make it out quickly and all right!

    Help! Baby chicks shrink wrapped

    Also, for your question about the artificial pip releasing the shrink wrap, making an artificial pip in the egg would really only be beneficial to a chick in the case that it has pipped internally, which means it has broken it's air cell and is breathing that air, and it is mis- positioned or...

    Help! Baby chicks shrink wrapped

    Okay, if the eggs truly did get shrink wrapped it would have happened when you opened the incubator to let the heat out. If the eggs were pipped, then they could have indeed been shrink wrapped by the sudden loss of humidity. A key rule for hatching is hands off during the last three days- "lock...

    Should I turn the automatic turner on yet?

    I agree with giving shipped eggs extra time to settle. I've always had trouble with their air cells and giving them a little extra time helps. I usually wait a day after I put any eggs in the incubator before I start to turn them just to let them settle a little, it always has worked great for...

    Help with breed and sex

    Beautiful chicks! For the breeds, you are right with the first chick in saying that it isn't a BB Red and, in fact, a Silkie. It looks like a light Partridge Silkie hen to me so far. The second one appears to be a BB Red rooster, and the third chick does look like a Columbian Rock. =)

    I'm still here, Kyndra! I haven't been on Backyard Chickens a lot recently, considering I'm getting so busy with the end of the school year, but I make it on here every once and while. How are all your girls doing? How is Bea? I hope you and all your girls are doing well!

    Silkie thread!

    I would love to enter her! Could I also enter my other two silkies they're the same age. =) I have an OEGB BB Red bantam hen too, but she's about a year and a half old. So I don't think she would count. I'm gonna go check that out right now, thanks for telling me about It!
