I’ll take pictures later, I don’t want to keep opening the incubator. But from above he seems to be doing way better. His one eye look better, so he might just have one bad eye and he’s really fluffy now. He was cold for a while but he’s acting like a normal chick. Since he is still in the...
Thank you for your advice! I will definitely relook him once he’s had time to gain strength. Once he decides it his time, what’s the best way to help him go? I obviously don’t want him to suffer, I just want to give him a chance but if he can’t get better I know I’ll have to help him, I just...
The chick is freshly hatched so he’s not dry yet. But I will post more pictures once he is. His one eye maybe okay, only time will tell. I plan to keep him until he goes naturally. Other than the hurt eye he seems to be doing well. (I don’t know his gender yet but I feel like he’s a boy) I was...
I noticed a chick had been hatching awhile and had pipped but had stopped. I thought it hadn’t made it but I didn’t give up. After a day and a half I removed the shell and it was moving and chirping so it was alive! In this process I noticed it was stuck to the shell. None of the others got...
I hope this is the right thread :fl
I can’t for the life of me figure out the breed this chick is. He is about a week or two old. I ordered the fry pan bargain (all roos) from meyer hatchery to get a variety of males to chose who I want to breed. I was going to buy a barred rock for $3 and...
I got it wet and left it a second and gently got it to unstick. I made sure to clean the area and dry it off. I was scared to crack the egg, but the water loosened it up. Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it.
Oh no! I hope someone more experienced has answers for you, because I’m on the newer side of things but from personal experience, I’ve heard it’s okay to use antibiotics like neosporin but I’ve never tried it. And the cage is a good idea as long as she can’t hurt herself or get more hurt from it...
This is my first time hatching, I have 34 in an incubator and some under a hen. One of the eggs in the incubator is stuck to the automatic turner! They have only been in for a few hours and it was fine earlier, how do I get it unstuck? Do I get it unstuck? Is this my first hatching fatality? How...
My first post! :woot
I recently bought a incubator from tractor supply (the farm innovations 4250). When I plugged it in the temp went to 126 and the humidity is in the mid twenties.I set it to 100 degrees and filled the water holder up. I really need help because I am receiving eggs tomorrow...
