    Eggtopsies - failed to pip, failed to hatch, malpositioned?

    These are my failed to hatch eggtopsies. I left them in the Bator for 2 full days after the last chick hatched, until the smell from the incubator started to get overpowering. I proceeded to candle, sniff, and float test them. There was no motion on candling, no sounds,and no motion on the...

    Egg Problem

    At only day 5 I would wait at least until day 9 and check again. See if there is further development, maybe it's just a bit slow but still normal! There's huge changes from day to day.

    Newbie Question: Development

    The second pic looks excellent, the first pic it's hard to tell. I would make sure you know which one it is and check it again in about 3 days. Make sure it shows signs of further development. I don't believe it would be a problem at hatch as maybe it would just hatch a day late. 24 hours is...

    Day 14 Candling Help!

    And I agree the eggs you posted pics of look perfect. The air cells in mine grew a lot after day 14.

    Day 14 Candling Help!

    Less humidity seems to be better than more, "dry hatching" during days 1-18/19 seems to help hatch rates sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it! Temp seems to be the more critical factor.

    incubate question

    Yes... 99.5 air temp with a fan, measured at yolk level, or around 101 still air. However I did find out that thermometers can be unreliable and suggest checking the eggshell temps with a infrared thermometer if you have one around from kids or something. Eggshell temps should be 100-101 F...

    First Time Broody - Candling Help Needed! Pics!

    Those look like dark or thick shells! If you do it after dark or in the bathroom with the door shut it helps. Try to have little to no ambient light. That makes it easier to see. Make sure the egg is horizontal or the blunt end is up, I found on thicker or darker shells I really and to move...

    Cockerel vs Pullet? 4 week old Ameracauna/Faverolle/Easter Egger

    6. Lightning, the crossbeak, friendly and average size. I think I see 3 rows of "peas" in the comb even though it's all yellow still and not big. Was black and bright yellow tummy and cheeks as a young chick

    Cockerel vs Pullet? 4 week old Ameracauna/Faverolle/Easter Egger

    Hello! Chick sexing help please! I tried to take the pics as per the guidelines to help. But you know, chicks. Lol. There were 7 in our hatch. 1. Sunny - average sized, average friendliness (not too snuggly, not too resistant). I read through the sexing tips threads and the feather...

    3 week old chick - crossbeak / scissor beak getting severe - euthanasia?e

    Have you been clipping it yet? I'd start there first. (small guillotine nail clippers, like for a dog/cat). Take about 1/2mm off or less at a time or you will cut the quick (speaking from experience...)

    3 week old chick - crossbeak / scissor beak getting severe - euthanasia?e

    I haven't done it, no, but from what I've read clipping alone doesn't seem to do the trick. I did read an account of a lady who got her chick surgery from an avian vet, who broke the jaw and reset it, the chick wore a splint for a few weeks. I think as long as you don't cover the nostrils you...

    3 week old chick - crossbeak / scissor beak getting severe - euthanasia?e

    From days 10-19 I decreased the humidity to 30-35% following the dry hatch guidelines someone had linked me to at that time. At hatch, the air cells were overly large, dry (no one drowned), and the pips were about 1/3 to almost middle of the egg which my chicken raising book says indicates low...
