    Peeping stops... moving too... :(

    Well since i no longer heard peeping from the bator 24 hours later... i gave in and attempted to see what was going on by starting on the one that was leaking. I gently opened where the air pocket was to peep inside only to discover a rotting egg as were the rest of the 5 out of 6 eggs. One even...

    Peeping stops... moving too... :(

    This is where the disastrous part comes in, we had a hen go broody after 1-3 eggs. Everyday for 2 weeks more and more eggs appeared. We were wondering when she would stop. Then we found BYC and saw that she had gone broody and that another hen was the culprit for more eggs. So we candled and...

    Peeping stops... moving too... :(

    I am starting to think they may have died... i don't know. I heard one peeping (out of 6 eggs) yesterday at 10:00am, then at supper he stopped, and never peeped since. Out of the 6 eggs i knew they might not all be good but i felt 2 or 3 move. Now, no movement. One has a blood bubble that...

    Humidity... I really need to know! I'm confused

    Thats the whole problem. I don't know the days... I had a broody hen who each day had new eggs. I later found out that another hen was laying in the box. So i took away the extras, and left the candled (fuller ones) with her. Forward to present day she had one hatch about 5 days ago. I decided...

    Cochin Chicks HATCHING! Questions need help please!

    Quote: We didn't know before, but after finding out half way through we seperated her from the other chickens and candled the eggs, removed the ones that were not far along and tried them in a home-made incubator... failed. It's been quite a journey and a learning one at that. After these...

    Cochin Chicks HATCHING! Questions need help please!

    Alrighty, so i'm going to leave the chick with her until he's out and dried. If i were to leave the chick with mom, do you think she'd stay with the eggs until they all hatch? If she won't, this is why i am prepared to remove the chicks while they hatch until the last one hatches and then...

    Is my girl broody? Should I put some eggs under her?

    Quote: That's what were going through presently. We have two broody hens at the moment. I didn't know what brooding was until i joined BYC. One went broody with no eggs. She lost half her weight about in the 3 weeks she was brooding. The other went broody on two eggs. Then every day there...
