    Hen perching during day and acting aggressively

    I don't think so, I see her out in the run and when I let them out in the field she's out there with the rest of them.

    Hen perching during day and acting aggressively

    Hi, I have a hen who I hatched last year and other than being a little skittish she has been a great hen and is currently laying. Recently, however, I have found her inside perching during the day and when I try to touch her or move her she acts kind of like a broody hen (neck feathers up and...

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    No I had the incubator at 37.5 throughout then lowered the temp to 36 during hatching as I was under the impression that this would help prevent the membranes drying out.

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    1 left but it's a hybrid chick not a Silkie. The hybrid is from my own flock of layers but I was looking to start a little flock of silkies as well. Guess I'll have to get looking for some more eggs.

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    We had a power cut at 1 AM this morn and we tried to rescue the chicks but it was just too cold for the Silkie who was a little weak anyway. It died this morning.

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    One has started to pip now🤯🥳 There is another chick in the incubator moving around, could it cause problems for the one that's hatching if it moves the egg around? Bit of paranoia going on here!😬

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    Thanx all... I have candled again and one is hardly filling the egg so probably been dead a while, and the other two are definitely chicks but there isn't any movement. As you say I'll put the temp up, keep humidity up and sir on my hands until day 25 :fl

    Day 21 and nothing hatching

    Hi I have a batch of silkie eggs that I bought in the incubator and it's day 21 today but nothing is happening. Not even a pip. I bought 6 but have taken three out as they weren't fertile. The incubator has no humidity guage you just go by how much water you put in and the temp is currently...
