So I made a homemade incubator that is working fine and I'm monitoring humidity and temp on 2 different gadgets. I originally bought 4 eggs but now only 2 are developing as I discarded the bad ones that started leaking. This is the Eighth Day these two eggs are developing and they're moving...
hello byc!
My chicken had a run in with a dog today- chick snuck through the fence.
No visible marks or damage, but is wheezing a bit and doesn't draw breath in a smooth fashion. Plus, seems like the breathing is labored.
Doesn't seem like evidence of an air sac leak has materialized yet...
I'm a little bit stressed.

Thank you :).

Overly anxious 1st time duck momma here. I recused this abandoned duck egg and have been incubating it in a homemade bator. My question is...
I can see baby pushing on the air sac but he hasn't made it through. Its like he can't break it. How long before I break a small hole to help him clear...
