    Unfertilized egg? Guinea Fowl Day 12

    I recently bought some guinea fowl eggs from a local person. It's Day 12 now, and I'm not seeing much development. I heard it takes longer, but I'm a little worried because I don't see any progress. I'm hoping someone more familiar can tell me how a Day 12 egg should look like.

    3-week old quail's eye shut, what can I do?

    One of our white jumbo coturnix quail has an swollen eye. What can I do to treat it? None of the other quails seem to be having any issues.

    Help with chick's foot

    @thecatumbrella @coach723 @TOMTE Will something like this work? A bit busy and only kind of tape I found around my house (it's not super sticky or anything). As for the hay part, I've been watching the chick and it's walking around fine with a bit of a stumble. But it can get from one end to the...

    Help with chick's foot

    Would I have to leave it separated for a bit until it eats it? Or would I just keep holding it to its beak until it eats it?

    Help with chick's foot

    I don't have that type of tape. Would masking tape do the trick, or should I run to Tractor Supply to get one (or wherever that sells it)? Also, we use hay as the nesting for the brooder. Would that work as traction? I don't exactly have alternatives unless I buy more things.

    Help with chick's foot

    Okay, I read through it. Do we need to put them back in incubator? I already moved the chick in the brooder.

    Hi, I have two eggs in the incubator still that hasn't hatched. One pipped externally, but there has been no progress since. When I candled it on Day 18, I could see the veins, but not anymore. It's Day 20 right now (almost 21)

    Is this actually a showgirl?

    Oh, well, the chick is only a day old so no combs yet. I bought it from someone else, so I'm not sure how the parents look like.

    Is this actually a showgirl?

    Apologies, I'm pretty new to chickens so I have zero clue what you mean by "comb." Here is a sideways view of the chick. Luckily, I did pass first grade so I can safely say, yes, it does have five toes!

    Is this actually a showgirl?

    I bought two dozen eggs from a local a few weeks ago. It was a pretty horrible hatch - eight of them weren't even fertilized. The person I bought it from said the parents were both silkies, but the father carried the naked-neck gene. I thought it would be fine, as I read that showgirls still...

    Bad hatch, need advice/help what to do

    I used a food thermometer to check temperature, it seems that one side is roughly 99.5 degrees and the opposite end is roughly a little under 101 degrees. I check it about once a day through the two vents. All the eggs are from our backyard, so no shipping or freshness problems. The temperature...

    Bad hatch, need advice/help what to do

    I bought a Goabroa, but when I read the instruction manual for our new incubator, it suggests not to use a digital one like that. I tested it in our Maticoopx, and it showed the same humidity but at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Tested it with our food thermometer and it showed 100 degrees. So I...
