I have those 14 eggs still going one has pipped internally so yay but my deck daisy went broody again and I was thinking about giving her the eggs laid from the last 3 days ..I feel she is better suited to hatch them but I am also scared to loose them cause those beautiful black babies I could...
I lost 5 chicks in total to heat and humidity issues one was the day 3 egg had a blood ring and the other 4 were cause of shrink wrapping I fixed the humidity issue though took some work ... I know I should be happy that my hatch rate is rather high cause so far I have 15 babies and 14 more live...
We got them all homes already but kept one We kept that last one my boyfriend fell in love with him and he named him Oso that means bear in Spanish he looked sad there but he is much better now when I found them they were very anemic from fleas and ticks but now he has energy and is playful...
I didn't update sooner cause I got busy lol found stray puppies in my yard they had flea n tick so so bad I never saw anything like it I spent my day bathing 5hem n picking then clean n combing through their fur they are super cute I'll post pics if u guys wanna see them I'll need to get them...
I did and if seems better I have to use my judgement cause I don't have anything to measure it but I can feel it in the air but not heavy idk if that makes sense
Like not like a sauna or anything
All the babies have hatched just that one still absorbing and I'm 100% he or she is fine so I'm...
And about the beak yes it is it chirps and wiggles n stuff it's just those vessel worry me all of them seem to be shrinking slowly but that bigger one doesn't seem like it to me
I don't have any sponges I could try something else and yeah it was dry I know about the membrane and the one I helped and posted a pic of it also was nearly dried out and was barely active but seems more alive now but I was just worried about the blood vessels being a few shades darker like...
Sorry that mad a ton of mistakes I hope it's not confusing I'll go back n check before I post from now on I am just usually to lazy to care about grammar in text I guess and ways I had been putting eggs in the incubator each day and I know ppl don't do this but with mine it will probably be...
Yes he stopped being such a bully they all pester each other here n there lol I have 5 n 4 on the way out
1 passed away
I had candle to check on it earlier n noticed movement was low n no internal pip yet so I waited n hoped it was resting I didn't wanna bug it much
Then later after another...
This baby is gotta be my favorite so far
The think I loved about my room was his colors I preferred him to have his random black spots and this one has a lot it also hasome black skin on both wings
Does that mean black feathers will grow?
Thank you! I am a big proud of it myself I wanna fix the humidity issue around hatch day though the top never truly closes completely but when I'm done hatching these I will do better work on it
For a bad or i made in a hour I sat it's really good I had no time to test it either
So these are the ones left pink is a pipped egg
Purple is internal pips
Darker blue are one snuggled up to the air cell and will probably internally pip soon
Light blue needs more time and are not even snug against the air cell yet but not far behind
They are all alive and doing great
If it seems small in this pic it's really the angle I'm pointing the camera lol that baby looking at me hears my voice and come to me it like me and it's also the aggressor in the brood here lol the others are sweet and get bullied by it
tthey can get completely away from heat or right up into it of course without being hurt I made sure to test it and the water and food are there the water thing is one I bought and have used with my very first chicks :)
Yes I do and I did I checked it with the box closed after it as on for a hour and also with it open and with testing what I call the Lil curtains lol I closed them around the light and opened I also made sure the bulb can't be reached but if they do reach it it's not a got one like the one in...
The light in there is an energy saver one it's not to hot I can touch it after its been on forever and it doesn't hurt it feels nice but to be sure they won't be burnt I placed clothing pins from the outside laundry line on it as feet to hold it up a bit and it's working but it's a hot day
