Diary & Notes ~ Air Cell Detatched SHIPPED Chicken Eggs for incubation and hatching

Oz,

Your chicken math sounds normal to me!

Can we talking tail feathers and pullet or roo? I have 12 day old chicks, two already show the feathering of pullets and feathered early. Two had delayed feathering and have that split in the center like where a Roo's long feathers will come in. And one I think is a roo is the one that did the crowing and posturing at a day old. Do you think it's accurate?

I used to log on every morning to between 70 and 100 unread posts! In less than 12 hours... This thread is way slower than it used to be.

Summertime and weather I bet is slowing things down around here.

I set 40 eggs today in . . . ahem, the second incubator I purchased yesterday. No, incubators anonymous is not needed around here.

. I've still got 15 eggs on Day 12 in the other bator with 24 more eggs due the first of next week.

Awesome!

i have 5 basque hen chicks drying out, 15 assorted eggs incubating here that i am using for a control on my overseas hatch and some polish arriving monday.

Add that to the 400+ chicken duck quail goose turkey guinea and peafowl cooking in the Philippines.

I am normal right?

Around here, it's very normal.

I don't see any yolk in this picture. Just the umbilical area. If this were my chick, I would tie the cord close to the navel and cut the chick from the shell.

Smear antibiotic ointment (without pain reliever) or use iodine on the thread or string that you plan on using to ensure that there isn't any bacteria on it. Carefully tie it close to the navel and then use a pair of scissors to cut the cord. You need to tie it before you cut it so that the chick doesn't bleed to death. Once you cut it, put iodine on the navel and then let the chick rest in a sterile, warm environment until the navel has sealed.

Ok so this is a good sign?

Yes, but if you don't cut it, the chick may end up causing internal damage while trying to escape the shell.

I was taking the shell off and it wasn't even attached to the shell...shes not bleeding and is chirping so I guess this is good!

Yup! Sounds like she's a healthy chick! Has her navel sealed? If so, then she can probably go back underneath her mother.

Woohoo. Saving chicks. Lol

yes its almost all dried up ...her belly is still a little swollen. All the moms chicks were born 2 days ago...will she reject this one?
