I have a hen that had been sitting on her eggs about 2 to 2 and a half weeks. Not sure because we didn't find her right away. Last night all was fine. This morning she was out and about. I checked her eggs and found 9. Husband said there were 11. The eggs looks somewhat shiny/wet. My...
I had a hatch 6 weeks ago which consisted of 2 frizzles and 3 white cochin/barred rock mix. I didnt know what to expect. Here is one of the little chicks. Mom was the cochin. Dad the barred rock
I set up my Nature Right 365 for my 2nd hatch and everything is fine except I cannot adjust the days. It is preset to 21 days but I since these are guineas I need to add a few more days. Following the directions is no help. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix ?
Thanks.
Can anyone tell what these are? They are from the same hatch but I'm not sure about their parents. The lady I got them from as chicks said they might be silkies or frizzles. The pictures aren't very good but it's the best I could get.
Today is day 21. I heard a couple of peeps earlier day but nothing in a few hours. What might be going on there? Is there still a change of hatching? I haven't seen any holes in any of the eggs.
Thanks ,
Roscoe is a 2.5 yr old silky rooster. The day before yesterday he stayed in his house so I lifted him out. He wouldn't walk, just stayed on the ground. Again, yesterday I lifted him out for more food and water which he had a small amount. Today the same thing. When he does walk it's...
My Little Giant incubator has died. I am now searching for a new incubator. What is a good, smaller, easy to use incubator that won't break to bank? Thanks!
We have a successful hatch after that horrible fiasco a few weeks ago. She seems fine and very active. She is from a black silky hen and a black with gray collar silky rooster.
I have a chick that started hatching on Sunday and I finally helped him out on Tuesday . He is very weak but very vocal and hardly moves. His left side doesn't seem to move at all. We have tried him on some egg yolk but no change. How can I help him? Should I massage his weak side...
I think my chick is hatching. It's 22 days and I hear cheeping off and on in the incubator. No sign of a pip hole yet. What do I expect to see next and what do I do? As you can tell this is our first hatch.
Thanks
I have a guinea who has been sitting on a nest for 4 weeks that we know of. I don't know long she was sitting before we found her. Should we just let her be or try to get her to move? It looks as if there may be approx. 12 eggs under her. Thanks.
About a week ago my chicken started making a honking sound. It started out only occasionally but now it has become very frequent and very loud with a breathy sound afterward. There is no nasal or eye discharge. She eats and drinks fine. She is active and seems normal except for the honking...
I have 17 guinea eggs in my incubator that may or may not hatch ( long story). One hatched last night at 3:00 am. It is mostly dried and I wondered when it can go in the brooder? I have 4 keets in there that are 1 week old.
Thanks
We started with 5 guineas. I think 2 males 2 females. This is the first year that they are laying eggs. We let them free range and also have a house for them. At first they laid eggs in their house. All was great til about 3 wks after they started laying. No more eggs were found. We...
