I am not sure how i got 2 of each of these images...ugh. Anyway...here is the latest chick. All of their poop looks the same..not watery. This one I saw was just laying around so I got it out and brought it in. Gave it water and it drank and ate but wouldn't stand so I looked at its legs...the...

I have only had the chicks for 5 or 6 days. Their poop is normal. They came from tractor supply. Their "brooder" is a rubbermaid type tote with a heat lamp at one end but they can move away from it if they want to. They are cornish rocks according to the sign at the store. I do not know for sure...

I have raised chicks of various breeds for several years now. I keep them in a tote or a cage that is draft free with shavings and a heat lamp and watch them closely. I have not had any die this way. I make sure all have fresh water and food. Saturday I bought 12 cornish rock chicks and 2...

Guess i spoke too soon....poor thing died this evening. Not quite 24 hours after hatch.

Well...the egg we had that had the shell over the air cell cracked (pretty badly) and had fluid in the air cell...HATCHED!! 2 days early even. Chick is bigger than the others we have ever hatched out. It is a silkie cross. The other silkie cross hatched out 3 days early and the silkie hatched...

And now it is externally pipped! Lil guy might beat the odds :-)

Update on this odd clutch of eggs lol....one chick hatced yesterday.....at day 18...got its head stuck in the egg turner but luckily we were able to get it out. The egg that is cracked...we decided to just check it daily and give it a chance....the chick is still alive and is now internally...

I am weird...I always sniff the incubator lol I am paranoid about bad eggs....and I do make sure my hands are clean...very clean. I will make a decision on the cracked egg tomorrow. Thanks y'all for the advice.

No the air cell itself doesnt move but it looks like some liquid enters the cell...it is weird....i have seen it on eggs that were duds but not with a chick still alive. I figure i will have to watch them all pretty closely since it is such a clustered mess. <sigh> I will remain hopeful and do...

My hen went broody....i THOUGHT she only had a certain number of eggs cuz we labeled them and took out any extras the other laid. Mama is a mean one and liked to rip the skin off our hands and i guess we missed some cuz 2 days ago (what should have been day 14 of her sitting on them) she decided...

Luckily it is the only chick in the incubator.

Ok this chick hatched earlier today. I have no idea what is wrong with it. It is peeping and moving around in the incubator...i took it out briefly for the pics.....do we need to put it down?

Ok so I habe incubated before with this incubator. Today while checking my eggs that are due to hatch tomorrow (peeking through the windo to see if any were pipped and checking temp and what not) my incubator read 105!!! Omg...and i have one chick pipped externally. I dont think it was like that...

I will have to look and see later, I can never remember what it is called :-)

I just wanted to thank everyone for helping me through my last hatch that didn't go too well. Out of over 20 eggs, only 9 made it through hatching and only 7 survived to this point, weeks later. However, I cleaned out the incubator, did some checking and set it back up and rechecked and then...

Hope is doing quite well. She has these 3 little chicks that are her friends now a she is in good spirits. Her crop is nearly healed up. She does act like she may have some brain damage but she can be an indoor chicken lol

How do I get it to take it orally?

We named her Hope

Her name is Hope....yes she is a Turken or naked neck. Her crop is bare of feathers as is her neck :-) she is a strange little one lol....she may have some head trauma from her last attack, she was scalped but has healed nicely. This wound on her crop HAS to be 2 days old. :-( no stitches...we...

She walksaround and stuff but is doing this too...laying down....
