Well, the chicks moved into the coop (their own area) last week. They were my last ones for this year. The incubator is cleaned. Who would have thought how messy it can get. Hubby unscrewed the top so I can vacuum the tiny feathers out. I disinfected the whole thing. I'll be back in...

Update... I got up yesterday meaning to cull those chicks if they don't show much improvement. What can I say? The chick I helped was doing fine. No more issues. And I couldn't even pick out the one that had the walking difficulty. Chicks are doing well. :wee

The way I see it you have two options. Either cull it. Or allow it to live without a wing. That also means she or he won't be able to fly. You will have to make sure she/he will be able to get up on the perch without having to fly up. And you will have to keep an eye out to make sure she/he...

Well, I got 21 chicks. One chick I ended up helping out of the shell. It was zipped but the skin had hardened over it. The beak was sticking out and moving. It is not doing well and maybe I shouldn't have helped. There is another one that seems to have a hard time walking. Can't really...

Since last night I have chicks hatching. I have no idea how many so far... because I can't see them well enough. There are some eggs up front that still need hatching. They got until tomorrow morning... that's when I pack them all to get their mareks shot. Today is day 21. Sad to say...

Hi everbody! Today was quite a day. I was separating the hen chicks from the rooster chicks.. when I thought I heard knocking. It ended up being 3 chicks that were caught between the manual outside door and the automatic outside door. There is about 10 inches space between the two. I don't know...

Good luck!! :fl :jumpy :jumpy

I am a disappointed. I candled the first time last night and had to take out 23 eggs(from 70). 18 from one breeding group. That rooster is not doing his job! There were also more than 10 questionable eggs that I will have to re-check in a few days. I have decited it is what it is... and...

Just put 70 eggs into the incubator. Last ones for this year. As I was taking them there... I said... "there, now we're going to a nice warm place." My daughter...Mom, I don't think they can hear you yet. LOL Yes, I admit... I talk to my eggs. :D

Would you believe I am thinking of getting a larger incubator... this one only holds 90 of my size eggs. :idunno But I am absolutely in love with this machine... my hatch rates are great! They are going to be wheaten sulmtaler.. like in my avatar. 69 eggs will go in on Monday. But it will...

Joining in...don't know if I can join the EHAL as well , they'll go in on monday. 65 so far waiting on the turners already... and whatever the girls are laying today.
