2015 Peafowl Hatching Support Group - Eggs and Chicks!

Anyone interested in doing a chick weight/study? Just need you to weigh them when you can and let me know what type of feed your're feeding.

Do you have a new thread for gathering the data? What specifically do you need and how often?

What in the is up with this one? It Had pipped internally, but I seriously doubt it could have pipped externally.

Looks like you are having the big sticky chick syndrome. Time to check temp and humidity. If they are living to pip try higher temp.

Thanks, I will re-think after these 13 in the hatcher are done. Still have another 15 or so in the bator, so might be able to make some changes in time for them.

Have any of you seen bruising like this?

I don't know that thats bruising but I am used to seeing all kinds of different colors on the body when born. I quit paying attention. The more I hatch the less I stress over individual chicks and perceived problems. I don't lose anymore, I just quit worrying as much.

Hey, we must have some pictures of 2-, 3-, and 4-week-old chicks by now???

We had over 100 people looking at the Chick Chart recently...

...updated pictures would be such a big +++!

And by the way, where are ya, Zaz? I see you are posting scale pictures on fb???

I'm sorry New 2!

I have been just too busy with bee work.

A large commercial operation parked a few hundred hives nearby and we have been catching swarms like crazy making up for our winter losses.

I haven't taken many pics lately, but I really need too. I have low percentage Spaulding Purple BS chicks at four, three, two weeks old and some only days old. Same in IBBS over Cameo hens and BSWE over IBWE hens.

My IB Pied WE cock over the IBSP, Cameo SP, Cameo WE and Pied hens have not given me many eggs until lately, but I now have about eight little ones to show off. I promise to get you some pics soon.

On a sad note, the green trays for the Sportsman that needed trimmed to fit were not trimmed enough and they were hanging up on the racks when turning. It caused them to violently snap past the bracket and ruined quite a few eggs, not all, but too many just the same.
