Hi all,
This chicken and another one have hatched today and both cannot walk properly. They sort of shuffle around on the tops of their legs.
The picture below is the best I could get, the legs seem to be too far forward or something like that.
My question is: what can I try to fix it?
Hi all, I'm from Australia and just loaded my incubator.
The chicks will be mixed breed and the eggs are a variety of colours. They've been numbered, feel free to pick one and give it a name (most of my chickens have old timey names, but any name is fine).
And just maybe you'll pick a winner...
I have a chicken that has hatched. It has no eyes. How do I teach it to eat or would putting it under a broody hen so she can raise it be a better choice?
Can you feed eggs to roosters?
We have a yard of meat roosters and way too many eggs from our hens and I was wondering if I could feed hard boiled eggs to the roosters?
How do I get my gosling to eat?
I hatched it in the incubator and only one hatched. Do I need to source another chick of some description to show it how?
I started assisting the hatch of a goose egg but when I got to the internal membrane it is just white, I wet it a bit and it didn't change colour.
I'm uncertain whether or not to continue because I don't want to break a blood vessel.
I was wondering how long it takes for a pilgrim goose egg to hatch. They've been in 24 days but I don't know whether to move them from the turning trays or if they need another week.
How long does a pilgrim goose usually take to hatch? I've had one in the incubator 3 weeks which I know isn't long enough but there's varying opinions on whether it's 4 or 5 weeks.
Also if anyone has a day to day picture log of their eggs it would be most appreciated
Has anyone else had their blue chicken eggs become impossible to candle after being in the incubator a week?
I candled the eggs before I put them in and I could see inside fine.
But after 7 days the eggs are impossible to see through and the regular eggs are not like this.
They cannot be...
Hi all,
I have a Khaki Campbell that's been sitting between 3 to 4 weeks and during this time she has moved her nest twice. The first time I didn't take much notice but she has done it again.
Earlier today I observed her moving her nesting materials and just now I checked and the entire nest has...
I'm new to having quails. And hatched these out late last year. And for the others that I hatched I was able to tell if they were male or female but these three have got me a bit stumped.
Any ideas?
I am just a little concerned about the remaining Indian Runner eggs in the incubator. I had one hatch on day 26 and it is now day 28 and there is no movement from the other eggs. When I stopped turning the eggs a couple days ago I candled the eggs and could see movement in most of them and now...
