    Almost week-old emu not interested in eating much.

    Hi everyone, just seeing the replies. Luckily my little Reptar is doing wonderfully. Eating like a champ now, and growing FAST. Already probably doubled in size since hatch! Guess he/she just needed a little time!

    Almost week-old emu not interested in eating much.

    Good afternoon everyone! I'm a newbie to the emu world. I've raised chickens for years, but this is my first Emu. I ordered 2 eggs, and one hatched and I now have a bouncing baby emu, Reptar :) She hatched Wednesday of last week. I width-held food for 48hrs and water for 24 hours. She still...

    Problems after lockdown?

    Update: I figured out what went wrong, and I feel like CRAP. My brooder thermometer malfunctioned, and basically my chickens baked :( On a brighter note, I recently hatched 10 silkies and 5 bantam cochins, and they ALL did wonderful :) have 13 silkies due to hatch this weekend!

    Problems after lockdown?

    ChickenPox: Don't take this the wrong way, I don't wish ANYONE bad luck, but I AM glad I'm not the only one. Sorry about your bad luck, too. I'm located in deep South Louisiana.

    Looking for advice to build a homemade hatcher.

    Thanks for the pictures. I'm looking for a hatcher-a separate container that I can move them to when they begin lockdown, so I can have an incubator with low humidity, and hatcher with high humidity.

    Problems after lockdown?

    Thank you. We haven't been able to figure it out, as I've done nothing different from this to my previous hatches.

    Looking for advice to build a homemade hatcher.

    I'm incubating with a hovabator genesis, but need to construct a hatcher, as I often have multiple hatch dates. I'm having trouble finding good photos/instructions from people who have successfully made hatchers. Anyone?

    Problems after lockdown?

    Not very good. I have 10 hatch, but they ALL died shortly after hatching. Don't know what's going on here.

    Possible twins?

    No pip from the egg yet. As soon as it's dark, I am going to candle it.

    Hatch-a-Long! Silkies, Frizzle Bantam Cochins, and a few others!

    Hey everyone! I decided to make my 1st hatch-a-long. I primarily raise silkies, but I have a few other eggs in my incubator. I currently have: 14 Silkies and 1 barnyard mix due TOMORROW from eggs from a local breeder (Monday, July 14, 2014) 5 Silkies from my flock due July 29, 2014 15 Frizzle...

    Problems after lockdown?

    Thank you for the replies! I've been hearing from a lot of others that have gotten 100% hatch rates in the past that have been having bad luck, too, recently. Maybe it's just the barometric pressure or something. Idk. I really appreciate the advice and will keep everyone posted on the progress...

    Possible twins?

    I'll know by Monday one way or the other what's going on. I'm doing a lot of reading, & will help however I can with them hatching if needed! I'll keep everyone here posted.

    Possible twins?

    They've been in the automatic turner since day 1. I would say stuck, too, but that wouldn't explain the fact that it looked so full already from day 7, compared to the others who were just spider veins. I wish I'd taken a photo, but I didn't think about it at the time.

    Possible twins?

    Good morning! I got some eggs from a local breeder that are now on day 18. One egg has been strange since the beginning. I candled them all at day 7, and they all looked normal except for this one. It was alive and there were obvious veins, but it looked a lot further along, I'd origially...

    Problems after lockdown?

    Good morning everyone! I raise silkies. With my last hatch, I had 13 eggs that successfully made it to lockdown (candled at 18 days to confirm they were alive and well). Then, on hatch day, only 6 pipped, and only 4 hatched on their own. One died before hatching, and I helped one hatch because...
