Hi, I have 3 x 7 wk old chick and I’m unsure what breed they are . Btw This is their night cage , out all day but brought in at night a it’s -3 here. Feathering up nicely but would like them to at least have temperatures a little higher before putting them out full time. I thought black may be...

Mine stop laying every time I leave them for a holiday...my sitter says she gets eggs....then on my return it’s egg strike, after a week in Spain last month I had 7 days with no eggs, a dog not talking to Me and my goldfish dropped dead

We had exactly the same scenario a few days ago but the chick survived the blood vein and hatched ..but only because another chick picked at the shell attracted by the blood I think Sadly the chick is failing to thrive, doesn’t appear to be in pain so I don’t feel it’s time for euthanasia but I...

Incubator now sold. Thank you for all your advice..I bought the brinsea maxi 2 EX. Looks tiny compared to my old incubator and can’t imagine 12 hatched chicks in there but easy to use..fingers crossed it’s as good as everyone says :)

Thank you Karen...this is a great incubator but I’ll never hatch 50 eggs! I’m a sort of 8-10 hatch so it’s wasted on me! I’ll take a look st the brinsea..although I may just go for the smaller version of this as I like the clear dome visibility you get with chicktec incubators ...

I’m selling this incubator as it holds 50 eggs and I only hatch a few ...it’s just too professional a set up for my needs ( gift from my over zealous mum) It’s s great bit of kit, Eu made ( not cheap import) with built in monitor for humidity and temperature . I hatched 11 of the 13 eggs so...

Thank heavens for reason! It’s a chicken..they aren’t vegetarians! I am a vegetarian but hey..I chose that and I’ll be honest I look away when my chickens are doing their t-Rex impression with live anything ..I fully appreciate we cannot stifle every natural animal characteristic we find...

Caring and patience can mean many things .. pain receptors adjust so if a chick is still crying out constantly after 24hours it means there is something wrong..we all know a screaming chick 24hrs after hatch is an indication something is wrong ..patience is not going to help here ... two...

In nature often when a chick cannot hatch itself it is because there is something wrong with it, simple natural selection as it needs to be able to look after itself from birth..Those of us that hatch often have all found if it can’t get out of the shell it sometimes means it won’t be able to...

I have chicks available from this wonderful coloured egg hatch, eggs were blue , olive and dark brown from Welsummer, araucana and Maran . As this hatch was to produce a deep olive layer I am not guaranteeing pure breeds although some look pure ..as it was a mixed free range run of 3 breeds ...

It may be just a weak chick...lasted as long as it could. Happens with chicks ...always sad :(

YOU ARE A STAR AND CHICK SAVER! Thank you so much for your advice on the humidifier ..finally after just putting it in the room, then sealing the door moving it around etc ...then shooting a stream into the incubator...this set up did it and the humidity is up and my chcks have started to...

A home made set up for a young chick looks something like this ..with a box, heat lamp , food and chick crumb..do you have them in something similar? If not and you do not have a lamp then if you could put them into a similar box with a paper towel lining ..Remove the fan (as previously...

It’s just a natural hen thing as stated ...you do not need To get them a rooster unless you want to hatch chicks? If you just want eggs I would suggest just keeping hens...they’re perfectly happy without a husband and it’s a quieter coop :smack
