🍁 September Hatch-a-Long 🍁

[AusHen]

I have changed my mind on what I want to hatch this month and next. I'll be doing quail eggs plus some duck eggs to help build my numbers on them. once they are done I'll go back to chickens

Have a broodie Pekin hiding in a tree stump. No clue when she started sitting, maybe a week ago? I’d say 14 or so eggs.

Will you forgive me @FortCluck for not hatching all summer? Hehe

We’ve been busy hand raising Turks. He goes to work with my daughter and I. He sleeps in her bed

No, it is bad enough that you did some voodoo and now I'm working on breaking another broody. They just started laying two months ago.... their eggs aren't even big enough to hatch.

Mine are all broody again

I think my bantam is feet over head malpositioned! If it is not hatched by the time I get home today, I'm probably going to assist, it's been externally pipped since Monday so all the yolk and veins should be absorbed right?

Update: We assisted the bantam successfully! And now we have 10 external pips!

She/He has a little red spot on her head, is that ok/normal?

Sadly it looks like my Mille Fleur eggs all died around day 4-7. I still can't see into the BCM eggs but I believe my one egg is still going to hatch, fingers crossed!

Both of the bantams are here, and one PAV(fixing to be two) the other one is zipping.

I moved them to the Little Giant to finish fluffing up, they were playing ping-pong with the rest of the eggs

Emergency!! I might post this on another thread just to get an answer immediately! One of the PAVs has a bad looking navel, it is kinda bleeding and I'm worried if I put it with the others they will peck at it and if I leave it in the incubator it will kill the other eggs, I've read about putting chicks in cups that havent absorbed their yolk, could I possibly do this with him until his belly button heals? There are two with problems but the black one is more worse looking. I also have a disoriented chick it lays upside down and wobbles around and when it sits up it is usually looking straight up, what could cure this too? It is one of the bantams. The last pic, this is how he is positioned half of the time, he won't look down he just keeps looking up.
