    The little cross beak is doing good. We are feeding it and watering it with a dropper right now. Raw egg since it can eat mash yet. Its missing an eye so that doesn't help. I'm almost positive my issue is my temp guage/hygrometer now. I bought some cheap ones and I feel awful. I have cayuga...

    I've been having really bad luck this time around. I dont know if its my incubator, my fuzzy hatch methods after such a long break, shipping or breeding stock. Maybe all combined. But my last 3 hatches I've only got like 4 out of 12 eggs. Same with this hatch. I only have 3 now. 2 normal and...

    I decided to open it and check. Its severe cross beak. Its veins haven't receded enough to hatch yet so I'm just waiting now. If I can help it hatch I'm still going to have the challenge of helping it eat. :( ugh I hate ebay eggs. You never know what your going to get. :(

    hi all, I haven't been here in a couple years. I just recently started hatching again and this hatch has been a nightmare. I need help like asap. This chick had a wrong end pip. I left it alone.

    Hey guys I have a broody who has 1 egg left that hasn't hatched. She has stopped setting now. I candled the egg and the chick looks shrink wrapped. It's still alive but no internal pip though I can see it's trying. Anything I can do for it?

    Thanks. I had a staggered hatch. 3 that were due hatched great with no help needed. I had 4 left due a week later. My friend put them under her broody. Unfortunately the first one got stuck. She is going to keep checking on the others. I told her the 24 to 48 hour guideline. Hopefully the last 3...

    Hey guys. My silkie is sitting on 3 call duck eggs. Ducklings are mixed. Mom is a call and dad is a silkie duck. Anyways I cant remember how long they should be internally pipped for? I think 48 hours but not positive. When should I worry if they dont externally pip? 2 eggs have a hairline crack...

    I know I haven't posted here in awhile as we aren't hatching right now but I just saw someone on Facebook tell a person if they see blood while helping out not to worry just keep at it!!! Then argue with me about how it's ok to help with heavy veining. Wtf.

    I love the east Indies. They are so pretty! You need a few silkies now lol. X2 After 24 hours of an internal pip I would make a very small safety hole.
