Oh so sorry

Did your chick survive and did others hatch? I’m in a similar situation on day 22 and just wondered if there’s hope.

I saw this post and I have similar problem. I thought I had a good thermometer, but I must not have. My eggs seemed to be developing well until day 18 when I saw little movement. I found my adjustable thermometer and tried it and it seems the temp has been closer to 95-96 the whole time...

I wish a knowledgeable person had answered your question as I to am looking for the same info. Here is a web page that may help. I think I'm going to try a cotton shoelace on the end and see if it works. I saw this on you tube. http://www.gqfmfg.com/PDF/3018%20instructions.pdf

The facebook post is why I asked this question! I really didn't know they would stay with her almost a year, but I didn't know how long. Thank you

At what age are you able to remove the peachicks from the peahen?

Yes, these hatched from my White Roo and some from my black hen and some my white hen.

Can anyone explain the color "blue"? I have been told some black with gray are blue and that white with gray are blue. I do not want to advertise blue if that is not true. I'm very confused. The only one I'm sure about is the partridge.

Thank you for the information. I never knew there was so much to learn about Silkies. They are so cute and tiny. Our power went off for about 10 minutes tonight and they cried and cried until I put a flashlight in their box and covered it. When the power came back on one was curled up to the...

All the pictures here are wonderful. I am new to silkies and have a white roo, 1 white hen and 2 black hens. These chicks hatch yesterday and also have 2 other that look white under the hens and a dark almost black with silver running through that just hatched in the incubator. Will these...

Thank you I 'll try that.

He died last month but lost his train in April so I just assumed he wasn't fertile even when he died. She is still sitting this mornning.

I need some help and advice. I have tried for 3 years to hatch peafowl in an incubator because my hen would not sit. I only had success with 2 chicks. Last month my peacock , who had already shed his train, died suddenly and we only had one peahen so we let her out of the pen for the first...

I kept thinking of posting this question for a few days, but just did it this morning. Then I went back outside and there she was off nest and stretching. None have hatched, but 1 is beginning to crack the shell. Now the real waiting begins!

I have 1 hen that has been sitting too long. Last year she successfully hatched 1, but a few others died under her. I check through out the day and evening, to see when she is off the nest so I can check the nest, but I haven't caught her off in a week. Should I try to move her off to be...

OK thanks

Thank you for the Clemson extension info. We are just outside of Columbia so may take an egg there. Do you remember the cost?

Thank you for responding. We are in the midlands of SC and yes I had a light in the pen for warmth. I am using a hydrometer from Walmart, but also 2 other thermometers in each. I did use bleach to kill bacteria in both before setting them up. The hen seems as healthy as last year and nothing...

I really love seeing the new babies, but can not understand why I can not successfully hatch this year. Last year we did have 2 hatch and raised them to 6mos, before selling them. This year My hen started laying in January, but the eggs were not fertile. I began trying to hatch in Feb. but...
