In that second video. with the egg that had a line..and then it looked as though it was "pulling" away from the inside of the egg.. That is what happened to my 2nd egg that died.. I posted about it earlier.. and it was dead.. it was a green gooey mess that STUNK oh boy did it stink.. I had...
Ok no more eggies.. the last one died and the egg popped this morning.. I am getting a little 2 day old chick from a person here in pensacola tomorrow.. any suggestions on how to stick it under her? The eggs she is on now are not fertile..I have candled them after a week and nothing...
I went out to check on my broody.. and it was an awfull smell... I lifted her up to see and another egg had broke.. so I let her walk around for a few.. she pooed a bunch right way.. and I set to cleaning out her nest.. I have her in a sams club box.. actually to transport spagettie.. so...
I checked on her this morning ... she is still sitting strong.. she doesnt even really eat much.. she wont get off the nest unless it floods or I push her off.. *make her take a break* bring feeling back into those little leggs. LOL.. I only did it one time.. for those of you that leave...
we had another storm last night and boy that rain came down just as hard as it did before...
but she was high and dry.. only a little water blew in through the front.. but all the wood and tarps we put over the top of her and the 4x4 layed on its side put under her in the back and the 2x6...
Ok so I just candled her eggs again.. I did it two days ago, maybe three.. the three flooded eggs are still alive and growing.. they are getting bigger in the egg.. there are two other eggs that i think are developing as well.. I am not good enough to see veining so I have to wait to get...
That is so kind of you.. My poor broody she is being such a trooper.. With this hatch
#1 she went broody
#2 she was kicked out of her nest by the other birds
#3 we moved her into a new place she stayed there for 3 days no problem
#4 her nest flooded...
#5 I dunked her behind in a bucket of...
ONES STILL MOVING... OMGoodness...!!!!
Ok so I put the eggies on a heating pad .. on medium because after an hour with them on low they didnt seem warm enough to me.. I was aiming for the fresh laid egg temp.. So we went on with our day I had them all just sitting on the eggs.. We got...
this morning.. i went out to find her nest had FLOODED LAST NIGHT!
she was not sitting on her eggs at all.. another one had busted (that makes 3 busted) it stunk.. and as soon as I opened the door she bolted.. I took her and cleaned her butt .. I dipped her in water .. she is cleaning...
Ok not sure what to do. I looked in my broodys new coop/cage and there was an egg out of the nest in the corner all covered in what looked like yolk. So..
I looked under her. One egg exploded under her and it stinks .. what should I do?
I did my best at candeling and good grief that is tough .. as soon as the light hit the egg it turned speckled.. I dont think I could even see veins even if they were there?
she has broke two eggs so far.
Oh I am so glad you started this thread.. mine just went broody too.. first time for me..
I am going to seperate her today.. I will post pics.. My eggs are brown?? can I candle?
Oh I am sooo hoping she is sitting on 8 eggs. she has tons of room left too.. I may try to sneek some...
