Ok my last chick hatched but it bled quite a bit & is pretty weak. All of the yolk sack was absorbed thank goodness but there was blood everywhere when I got home from work & the shell has a pool of blood also. It lost the right amount of weight so I'm not sure what happened...
What a cute mini...
That's exciting Polli! You don't even know how happy I am for you! I felt so bad that you were having the absolute worst luck ever, I know you tried your hardest to hatch some. I'm glad you got the 2 older chicks but I'm even more excited over your 2 wigglers, you'll be so much closer to the...
Well it's actually not just trying & trying its hardest to get out, thank goodness, it just made a hole in the shell/membrane them started bleeding pretty good. I put a little blood stop powder on a couple bad spots & to see what's going on a broke some shell off but just a small part that...
What do I do, if anything, for a chick that is tryin to hatch before its ready? Egg A made a hole in the membrane but since it apparently isn't ready it's making itself bleed...pretty bad too. It's inside the shell & even ran down the outside. It still whistles but it can't be ready to come out...
Ok I'm worried then I'm not worried lol. Egg A is the last to hatch. I'm not worried because its only day 50 & I can still hear it whistling, now more than ever. I'm worried because egg E hatched before it & it incubated at a lower temperature...I know I worry too much lol
Very interesting info, thanks for sharing! That must've been a nice, insightful trip, I'd love to meet someone as knowledgable as she must be. Oh Yinepu do you think she would take the ostrich chick if you hatched it? If so please incubate it! Ive been dying to get white ratite eggs so I can...
I plan on researching more info regarding splay legs & after being told what splay legs is I dont think my chick had them but until Foulman explained it, that's what I thought it was...a chick with splayed legs so Kathy suggested what I thought also. Even though luckily Cash didn't have it I...
Awe Gucci, what a cute name! I was thinking of naming my chicks by their egg "letter" also & so far I have C aka Cash & B aka Bow (it has a bowtie on his right cheek!).
I worry to much with them anyway lol. I didn't know it was caused at the hips like you said, I'm going to check out your pics & research it more. I was just afraid it was going to do what some quails I hatched did, they got under chicken eggs in the bator & got their legs mal positioned then...
Doing what I did definitely helped, he sits up fine now & hasnt done that since. If he was just wobbling like in the video I wouldve let him learn it's balance but it's legs were for sure getting more & more out of position over time. It's not walking yet of course but I think it wouldn't be anyway.
It's the one that lost the least, on day 42 weigh in (hatched day 49) it lost 61g total & lost about 8-9g a week when the others lost 13-14g & total weight loss in the 80s...I have some Sav-A-Chick, should I use that? Also I don't really know how to tape up legs, I just guessed at how you all...
That's what I was thinking...& hoping not. At first I thought it was just trying to catch its balance where it just hatched but it's been doing it for an hour now. I tried to stop it everytime, at first the legs looked fine but after a while it was clear they were getting more & more stretched...
Ok here's a direct link, right now I have him rolled up in a sock so that his legs are in perfect position underneath it, with it's feet out so I don't make them misshapen but is that what needs done & what exactly is going on with my chick? Please help :(...
thank you for the info!
Ok please help me figure out what's going with chick C...my problem egg! I need to know if this is normal for an hour old chock or if I need to do something & if so, what? Please watch video number 5033 in the link, it's legs get spread farther & farther every minute...
Thank you! Hey can you tell me how to DNA test them? I send the shell membrane right but I don't know what company to use, if I need a kit from them or just send it to them or how long it takes then how much is it?
