I think my 6 week old Jubilee is a cockerel? With the largish comb and reddish wattles, is it too much white on the breast? Is there any hope I have a pullet? Otherwise, here's another picture of a young cockerel...lol.
I've had 1 chick hatch out of the two that made it to lockdown. It has a herniated umbilical, I put blue kote on it. Any other recommendations? I really hope egg #2 hatches.crosses fingers
I'm using the hatchabatch app, I have no pips on the two that made it to lock down. I set them at 9pm on Sat March 25th. Should my babies be out by now? I'm really starting to worry. Being so impatient I went to the feed store, and bought six blue silkie chicks that were born on Wednesday, which...
Hi babies! OMG, I'm getting so exited seeing everyone's fresh babies, but my two that made it to lockdown are not early, not chirping, and no rolling eggs. I'm headed to a poultry show, so I can stop staring at eggs through glass. Hopefully the babies show them selves today. Crosses fingers...
So sorry, to be so hopeful, and be disappointed really sucks. Are yours shipped eggs or from your own hens? Mine are shipped and of 21 I got 2 that might hatch, the rest are blood rings and spinning air cells. What happened to yours?
Candled tonight, looks like I'm not getting much. Looking at detached air cells on all six of the winning raffle ticket silkie eggs- not feeling like a winner. 4 were under a broody, and two in the incubator, must have gotten kickboxed through the mail, because they all look the same. Of the 14...
--How big do LF Dark Cornish get? I hope they all hatch for you! I ordered another batch of blue partridge brahma, and I won seven silkie eggs from a fb raffle by Silkies Anonymous in Tuscon, Arizona, but only two are in the incubator. The rest are under a broody silkie. :) if I get nothing...
Mine came from Orlando, way up here to altitude, we are above Denver. Mine shipped on a weekend that was like summer, in the 70°s but the morning they arrived the temps dropped to 21°. Mine were doomed from the start, they froze, none ever developed. I can't believe the seller was so kind to...
I'm trying another round of shipped eggs after zero hatch on my last attempt. I put 5 silkie eggs I won in a raffle under a broody at noon, plus two more into the incubator and 14 blue partridge brahma along with those as soon as my incubator calms down. I've been trying to stabilize it the last...
I put the hovabator in my bedroom closet last night, and the fiance says "do you have to have chickens in every room?" I said in the bedroom, yes, because the room temps are more stable, and my last batch I incubated on the second floor fluctuated too much. It must be...lol
