Hi Everyone! I have been off the board for quite a while. Having a 2 and 6 year old plus a farm keeps me busy! Lol. Anyway it's getting time to start looking for some babies for my daughter to raise to show for her first year of 4h. We have turkeys she is going to show and some geese. I...
Yes! I did get some of them hatched and some I think I screwed up with my incubator. Not sure what I did, humidity issues or what but I'm learning. Anyway I got a leghorn rooster which I REAlLYwanted! I'm not sure if he's pure leghorn or not but he's all white and beautiful! I think the...
Hi everyone! It's been several months since I have been on here. I have a 5 year old and a toddler and it was getting too hard to keep up. Anyway Im back now. We still have all our birds including the ones we hatched. We also just got 12 new babies last night. I have about a half a dozen...
I need advice! I am hatching babies and have all but 5 that left to go. I hatched some on day 22 and some on day 23. Today is day 24. They were moving and tapping yesterday and now they stopped. They probably died didn't they? I hate that.
Yeah waiting is so nerve racking! I'm not good at it but I am on lockdown so I just peek through the window a lot! Lol.
Chicken danz, I missed the post about your surgery! Will pray it goes smooth and a speedy recovery!!!
Sorry about your loss! We lost a bunch of chickens early this fall from a dog. It was awful.
I do have exciting news! It's day 21 and I have eggs wiggling! These r my eggs from ivywoods! Can't wait to see them! The araucanas are shaking their eggs. The big leg horn eggs are still. I h...
Ivywoods, b4 I got eggs from u I had got a few from Bama. I'm not sure what they r but they r darn cute! I will post pics tomarrow! The ones from u are due to hatch on the 21rst! Not much longer now! Can't wait!!!
My chickies r starting to hatch!!!! I have one done and I can hear more peeping!! I do have a question. Two eggs I can hear peeping r not pipping and they r a couple days late. How do I know when I need to help them? I don't want them to suffocate.
We now have 4 baby ducks! They r doing well. We did lose one last night that had pipped butnever broke through the membrane. I'm not sure if it's something I did or it had something wrong with it anyway. All I know is last night I could hear and this morning it's dead.
Another quick question! !! The duck is still doing okay. When I go check it, it is always moved around. The only thing I am worried about is I think the umbilical cord is still hooked to the shell. The duck is all the way out but there is a tiny thin thing still hooked. I don't see a yolk...
Thank u so much for all the help. I would have probably gone nuts or lost the duck if I didn't have this forum. The good news is that he is hatched. The bleeding is gone. He is weak and laying there but he's holding his own and peeping at me when I look thru the window. I posted some pics...
the bleeding doesnt seem to be flowing a lot now but its still there. Its still mostly covered with that membrane but I think that membrane is now getting dry since it pipped over a day ago. I put a moist towel in there and there is water in where its supposed to be. I just had peeled a...
Thank u. I thought my humidity was good since I hatched two and was so careful but I could b way off. I just hope the other two that r pipping don't have same problem.
