This is the second hatching this has happened. The eggs will zip..some completely..some almost complete then the chick dies. I incubate at 99.5-100 with humidity 45-50 and LD temp at 99 and Humidity around 55. There are a few who hatch fine but it seems that the splash have the problems. I have...
Up for your consideration....12+ Crele Crested Polish LF hatching eggs. Price includes shipping; These are my F4 eggs. Extras will be sent. My hatch rate has been very good. As with many fancy breeds the males are very flashy with the females being a bit subdued. Females are usually reddish with...

I need some white crested polish hens to breed to my Crele rooster. I would like black or blue or if possible both colors. I believe it is too cold to ship from a long distance. I live in East TN so could possibly drive to PU. Thanks!

I am looking for a pair of Americanas...those laying blue eggs..not green. I already have EEs that lay those...so...Americana please! I live in East TN near Knoxville. Would like to find some that are minimum 3-4 months old.
Thanks!

Can gapeworms be treated in conjunction with treatment for Cocci? I noticed that 2 of my 7 wk old chicks are shaking their heads and opening their mouths like they are gagging. I have having to treat them for Cocci presently. Or is this also a symptom of Cocci? I just wormed them with DE this...
I just hatched 9 chicks and had 5 that did not hatch. This is only day 21
This is the thing. I checked after all the pipped eggs where hatched...the others left. I wanted to get chicks out so....4 of the eggs where DIS..air cells had drawn down which I am trying to figure out why. I run temp at...
I came home today to find my silkie 3 mo. chick and 2-10 week old Eng orps dead. I noticed Friday evening some blood in the shavings. I wormed them just in case (which i do monthly anyways w/ DE). When I found them this afternoon I immediately cleaned and disinfected all cages, feed bowls and...
I have a little 7 day old Polish chick that is acting funny this morning. It mainly wants to lay around..not eat..etc. I gave it water and some mush with a dropper. When it swallows it does that thing where it opens its beak several times...almost like it is choking. I only gave it a drop at a...
I went out this evening to make sure everyone was in the coop and close the doors. I noticed one of my Marans on the nesting box which she was on about 2 hours ago. I thought...another broody hen..but my hens have not been laying much right now. Anyways..I went over to check under her and it was...
OK..this is getting frustrating. I keep losing chicks during lockdown. Looks possibly day 20 or more day 21. They are perfectly formed...ready to hatch. I noticed the air sacs where larger when I candled them on day 24. My Temp stays at 99 (Hova) and humidity around 45-50..I do have spikes...
I locked down 25 silkie eggs after carefully candling and tossing those that where not good. I LD around 10PM Sunday and had 2 pips last night which hatched this morning. Let me back up a minute..when I LD after putting the water in per recommendation in Hovabator instructions...the humidity...
Yeah!! I have 2 pips.....a little early but I will take it!!! Hatching 25 Silkies....looks like it is going to be a long night... I love watching the babies pop out of their shells.
Anyone else hatching out tonight??
If anyone has any ideas please feel free to post.
Every hatch it starts a day early then on day 21 I will have a frenzy of chicks popping out then it slows down a bit til 2 or 3 eggs are left. I wait til day 24 and still...there they set. During hatching everything runs as planned. Temp stays...
I hope this is the thread where I need to ask the questions I cannot answer. I have a hen, 18 mo. old, who has always laid jumbo eggs and since she started laying has only missed 3 days to leave me an egg. I have her in a flock of 16. About a week ago I noticed her eggs where looking thin...
I was told that crossing my EEs with my Welsummer roo would result in Olive Eggers...before I get excited....I could use some more feedback on this question. I have hatched some and they look like little quails!! Any thoughts??
I had just checked my still air bator and found the H was 57 so I opened to add a little water....my eggs where not to hatch until late Fri...early Sat. Well..heard a sound and found that I had an egg zipped about 2 inches and 2 others pipped....now that I added a couple teaspoons water the H is...
