    Broody hen and eggs

    We have a broody hen who we gave some fake eggs to. We wanted to make sure she was serious. We put eggs in the incubator at the same time. Although she moved nest boxes sometimes (probably because another hen went in hers when she got up to eat) she always stayed in a box. The last week and a...

    Comment by 'yellowrose98' in article 'Chick Malpositioned: Head between thighs/legs/feet, in the egg...'

    I just had a chick in that same position but I don’t know when it stopped moving. I never saw movement after lockdown but it was moving when I candled it on day 18. When I opened it today it’s head was in the same position you described. So many things to learn.

    Day 22 and movement has stopped

    I’ve read so many different things about humidity at the end. Since ours is still air I tried to find numbers for that. I will give the baby a little more time but it is so frustrating! Lol It was rocking and rolling and has stopped.

    Day 22 and movement has stopped

    Temps have been kept between 99.5 and 100.5. Humidity was between 30-40% until day 18. Since then it has been around 80%. It is a still air incubator (homemade). Even when the bator was opened briefly to remove chicks it never went below 65%. These are mutt chickens. Cross between a Rhode...
