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

[sumi]

I had a day 18 pip at the wrong end on a polish egg. The next day I decided to help after no improvement. I removed most of the shell and put ointment on the sack to keep it moist. Last night after still no improvement, I decided it couldn't move so I opened it up and got its head free and laid it back in. This morning I have a fluffy black white crested polish raising heck waiting on all its buddies to hatch. It's day 20 today.

Did Silver retire?

I went to town and bought some wax worms and it's working. The babies seem to really like them.

At least they're eating something...

That's good!

Yes, that'd make sense with the higher protein, but I'm going to stick with the worms for now. It's much easier to feed them worms rather than the chick feed/egg yolk mush.

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.

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?
