I wouldn't yet. Honestly I'd isolate him from the others. Even if you have to put a small divider in your brooder. Clean, warm, and keep the sac slightly moist
If hes alert and active that's a good sign as long as he remains that way. Just keep an eye on him until that's absorbed. In the future, I wouldn't help them hatch anymore unless it's a dire emergency. You can always add coconut oil to a membrane that's drying out to help moisten it. Usually...
I think its part of the yolk sac that didn't get absorbed before hatching. What day did it hatch on? If it was early could be that. The other scenario is that it didn't get its intestines inside of it before hatching and could be a birth defect. If it's the yolk sac, place it back in the egg...
The Nurture Right 360 is awesome. Very much set it and forget it. I've had better hatch rates with less than fully loaded. Not sure if it's coincidence or due to something being off when it's fully loaded, but 12-14 eggs seems like a sweet spot. Any time I've loaded it full, 22 eggs, I seem to...
Day and a half to go! Already have one that pipped!
Haven't been on as much due to working and being without a phone. Just received my new one yesterday.
As the incubator stands. At lockdown, Sunday night, 2/2 Olive Egger (my flock), 1/1 Opal Legbar (my flock), 9/12 Ayam Cemani (shipped eggs)...
There's always an inherent risk in receiving a perishable commodity in the mail. And if you live in thr US, you know how reliable USPS, which is the cheapest and most often used shipping method, can be...or not. There is an element of luck involved with shipped eggs, but there are things the...
Hey guys,
I've got two opal legbar roosters and one opal legbar hen. I have a dozen cream crested legbar hatching eggs coming in the mail. What I'm curious about is if I cross one of the opal legbar roosters over the cream crested pullets I hatch out is it going to result in split chicks?
Per...
100% agree the NR360 is the best bang for your buck. Has almost every feature you need and its fool proof for anyone beginner or expert. As previously stated, usually around $130 bucks. I got mine on sale for $99.99!
I just irrigated with saline, used blukote to disinfect (its a mild disinfectant), and wrapped and splinted the wing with kerlix to the chickens body. While blukote DOES stain, it does keep the other birds from pecking at the wound. It does technically make it harder to examine, but if it was to...
I had a dog literally rip off the front part of one of my chickens wings. I cleaned, blukote'd it then wrapped and splinted it to her body and she lived without any significant deficits.
Theyre selling those same heat plates on the shelf next to the new brooders at my TSC. I bought two because they seemed like a steal for 40 bucks.
What I noticed is on brooder setting they don't seem to put off as much heat as you'd expect, especially at the height of the new brooder system...
Just bought some of @Simplycrappie Ayam Cemani eggs. Shipped from Missouri to Michigan the day he said they would and arrived 2 days later, well packed, and in perfect condition. 10/10 would (and probably will) but again.
Hey guys!
Just received a dozen Ayam Cemani hatching eggs in the mail. Easiest, quickest, and smoothest transaction I've ever done, courtesy of Jamie from Simply Crappie, another member I met on the forum. If you want Ayam Cemani eggs or Cinnamon Queen eggs hes got a thread over on Buy Sell...
I had one last year I had to rehome and was hoping to get a pullet this year from the straight run bunch this fella I know had. I'll probably just get some hatching eggs when I move. I won't get in too much trouble. The neighbors are pretty understanding, the one to the south of me is the one...
