[Chaos18]

Coz I didn't think she'd give up on the rest of y'all that quick.

You have way to much faith in humanity.

Has anyone experienced an air cell in the wrong end of the egg while incubating? If so, what were your hatch results and how did you care for the egg during incubation?

I have one I just noticed at day 6 when I candled a set of shipped eggs I am incubating. The air cell is clearly in the small end of the egg and the chick is developing in the large end. I returned the egg to the turning rack, but put it small end up. I want to give it the best chance I can.

 

[BantyChooks]

No, no, no, no, no. This isn't real. It CAN'T be.

I went out to check on my chickens and Tucson and Heather were dead. They had their throats cut and mangled. Chrissy is badly hurt but alive. One BSL hen dead, and Emma has injured toes.

Just.... Dead. My babies.

I can't take this.

I flushed that beast out of his lair with boiling water and ether before removing his head with a shovel. Call me cruel if you wish, but I don't regret it.

Chrissy's leg is cold and stiff, and she was partially scalped. I am trying to save her.

I have brought her indoors and don't know what I should do next. That leg is worrying me very much.... I don't think it's broken, but I don't know what is the matter.

@casportpony

This just has to be a bad dream.

I've never seen this before. You'll have to keep us updated on its progress.

Any ideas on what happened, I thought this hatch was going well.

Hey guys update! 7 out of the 8 jap quail's hatched successfully

They're doing very well and are so cute and little. Moved my other quail round so now they can stay in the big brooder box that I built last week

Congratulations!

Never had it happen too me, but I would incubate air cell up.

I'm so sorry Banti! What did this?
