[Orps]

I have some of my paint Silkie eggs up for auction in the 24 hour Auction thread!




Youngsters

Oh you taunt me so! I'm just drooling over your painted

Sadly it's not to be.

Good luck on the auction.

One chick is peeping up a storm and has a small hole in their egg (I can see a little beak peeping away).

I found another one that I am afraid may have died in it's shell. Don't hear anything, no movement... but I am leaving the egg be, you never know. I had moved the eggs from the nest into my 'incubator' in the exact same position, but the mom had knocked some eggs around. I thought about that last night and checked the eggs for pips and found this one with the shell missing over about a dime sized area, with the membrane still there with a little cut in it. I hope the little one didn't inadvertently choke or something, with the egg being upside down.

No progress on the first egg that pipped yesterday, but that's ok, it's really a bit too early. So I have 3 eggs that are fully developed for sure (3 pips), with noise and movement in one for sure. If I only get one chick out of this, I will be happy

More would be great, ofcourse.

Hey, Everybody, I have a question.

Have you or anyone else you know lost any birds lately that showed no cause of death, just died? I have been having a heck of a time and have lost many birds over the past 6 weeks and now another BYCer has lost a couple out of the blue. I am wondering if there are more.......

I went and bought 10 birds from a breeder in West Al. the next day one sneezed. I went and bought some tylan 50 and gave all of the 1/2 cc by mouth. They are better! I had them in quarantine though. I put in a call to my NPIP agent to get them tested next week so I can get them out of quarantine. But so many have been complaining on the fb pages that so many birds have a respiratory infection and die. I hope you find out what it is and are able to treat your birds Wisher!

Yes we do! The first egg that had a little crack yesterday decided to pip and zip in like 15 minutes time. Loud little thing

I've got another that's been pipped since last night and this cute little beak keeps popping out and peeping.

I'm pretty sure the other egg that pipped upside down (with the dime sized pip) is dead. Sad. Such a large area open and then died >_< Still not removing the egg though, you never know. But there's zero movement or sound, and I see the beak and it's not breathing.

Got a fourth egg without pips, but it's squeeky!

And two eggs that I am not sure if they're even developed because I just CAN'T candle. I can't see anything, just darkness... no air pocket, not clear, just dark. We'll see. Giving it time.









He/she is dark grey/black with little white/grey streaks. It looks like it has a little beard, but I never saw a newly hatched chick like this.. so it may be normal chickie anatomy

Gorgeous little thing.

I'm expecting to end up with 3, out of 6 eggs, which is not bad at all, really. Any more will be bonus
