This Lil beauty is soooo attached to me. S/he peeps so loud if I am out of his/her sight. Loooves it's belly rubbed. S/he is absolutely the best chicken ever
Ummm, OK soooo I am a bit of a ding bat. I just figured out what the problem was... They were all starting on page 1 and I needed to switch it to the very last page of the post.
I tried going to other of the links but when I go in there the dates of the posts are in all different sorts of orders. I can't figure out how to get it to go in chronological order or in order of time. I downloaded the app hoping that it would be different on here but it's not. So all I have...
Thank you very much motorcyclechick. I'm going to wait until my new incubator comes. It's due to arrive on Tuesday. Hopefully by Thursday it'll have the humidity and heat ready. I think I'm going to use the styrofoam one to put the babies in after they hatch for the first couple days and then...
Good to know. I ordered another incubator a couple days ago. I believe it's a little higher quality than this styrofoam one I had originally purchased. Poor hubby was complaining last night that he doesn't ever get to eat any eggs because I put them all on incubator LOL... We only have one...
I would absolutely love to set some more. Is it okay to do it since winter is coming? I don't think I could take any more heartbreak. We had planned on keeping them in the house for a couple months after they hatch but that'll put them into about December or January and it'll be super cold...
None of my 6 grandbabies (3 to 11 yo) would touch it either... They have been here for several days waiting for their baby chickens to hatch. Had many tears shed today
Baby was dead. :( and it looks like the ones that will follow up after that one have also died. Found out that my step daughter had taken the lid off of the incubator while we were camping last weekend for an unknown period of time. I am so irritated and sad.
Thank you very much for coming in to help! Knowing that you don't hear them all the time makes me feel so much better. Yes I am new to this kind of chat board thing. This is the first time I've used one like this. I was going to introduce myself on the new members line but I can't figure out...
Nope, it just sat there. I I think I will just leave it for 3 or 4 days and see if maybe we get lucky enough to have a baby chicken. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to try and help a complete stranger with her baby chickens. I do greatly appreciate it and I will let you know...
Thank you for all of your help. I greatly appreciate it. I think I will let the egg be for a couple more days. I will let you know if if it happens to hatch. Again thank you for all your help
Oh :( the air sac looks like the day 14 in your picture. I did tap on the shell and played baby chick noises for about 5 minutes and saw no movement whatsoever. I didn't see any place where it look like the baby was trying to pip. Now I wish I wouldn't have brought the granddaughter over to...
Okay I just candled it... The air sac is still good sized... It takes up the upper section of the large part of the egg. It's really hard to see in the egg it's mostly all black inside. I didn't see any movement or hear anything though. I was reading on another thread that her egg is moving...
I have a humidity and temperature gauge inside the incubator as well as the one that comes on the outside of the incubator they both read the same except the inside humidity thingy says that the humidity is 1 - 2% higher than the gauge on the actual incubator itself. I just bumped it to 68%...
