well i have 11 of 16 hatched, the guy we call pancake is still sleepy but i give sugar water and little salt, clear water and i have seen him peck at food some, if the trouble makers get them all going he gets up and walks and moves then lays down like a flat pancake again, also how long before...
sugar water ok for weak chick, the guy i helped is dry and can stand but still sleeps and no eating, i did get a sip of water im, ? i call him pancake hes kinda flat?
hes free, i had to help with the zip, a few minutes later he came out on his own, the cord was around his leg, mabey it hurt when he moved?he seems ok but really tired, thanks
one chick half zipped and pushed hole in small end of egg, its been hours, hes peeping? should i help?
8 other chicks in brooder and doing great, 8 more to go
well here he is, we hope a roo, his dad was killed defending his flock from we think coyote yesterday, he was a good guy and is missed, the girls are locked up till we can be out with them,
so the other eggs should be ok? he is sleeping now, the next is probably hours behind him, and the other 4 pipped even farther, still lots to go, ill take em 2 at a time and keep humidity up i guess, thanks, he seems reddish, , red star hen and roo from my profile pic,
well now 9;00 am i have 1 egg peeping and external pip, i can see him moving , i dont know how long the hole has been there? how long does it usually take for them to zip out? and why only 1 is this normal?
hello all, ii have 16 eggs due to hatch on saturday, one egg is peeping at me now, should i remove vent plugs? could they be hatching now? im using little giant still air, thanks
