Hi All,
I have a chick that was walking fine and normal. One evening I got home from work (a couple days ago) and noticed that chick wasn't putting weight on that leg. Research is telling me, it is a slipped tendon. What do I do??????? How do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated!
Well after the first fail of hatching (only 5 out of 24), I decided to try again! Fingers crossed for a successful hatch. I am going to run my humidity on the lower end and my temperature at 99.5. Day 1....here we go!
Well I called it today. No other hatched. I got home from work and I have 1 chick that is not going to make it. I don't know what I did wrong. Kinda feeling like a failure here. I want to get another batch of eggs and try again, but I don't know what I did wrong.
I am guessing we are on 23 or 24 since I ended up putting them in right away instead of letting them sit for a day or 2. I have 11 left that haven't hatched.
I've read that 99.5 with a forced air is ideal. I've read it on here and multiple other sites. Also the breeder I got the eggs from gave me ideal humidity and temps too.
I have candled them. Their air cells got bigger, they are moving, etc. Temp is a steady 99.5 and I put them on lockdown on Monday. Humidity is sitting around 65%. Just anxiously waiting since it is my first hatch.
