I wanted to let nature take it's course, but this baby chick is very active on it's back. It's been 4 days, and I shut the incubator off on day two...it's still chirping away. I don't want to kill - wouldn't even know how...but why is Mother Nature taking so long?? :(
I'm very excited but very new!! I put a few eggs into an incubator, not expecting anything to happen, but it did!! Wednesday (yesterday) a chick hatched. I read up on everything and got a brooder box ready last night, to move the chick into this morning (24 hours later)...my question is, will...
What about chicks from an incubator? I have a single one that I just moved to the brooder box. My first hatch. have food and water in the box, but don't know if it will know what to do without me helping?
I'm not exactly sure how a Forum works so please forgive me in advance...but I have a question about day 19. The Egg when I candle it looks like most of the pics on YouTube, but I have been candling all along the way and I don't think I have a bright enough light...I have never seen any...
Thank you everyone. We think they are handsome too, so glad to know that we aren't being bias parents, LOL.
They were hand raised so, so far they are not nasty like many Roosters I have met. They are very docile.
Thank you again for your help!!
Here's a couple pictures of my handsome boys, but I don't know what breed they are. Anyone have the answer?? Also I'm new here, so I'm not sure if I have posted this correctly. Thank you!!
