egg with hole in air sell

I am sorry to say that yes, 70-80 can make a chick sick enough to die, and 110 can kill a chick or an incubating egg. Even 105 can kill or deform a chick, and some deformities are not like a long toe, they can be really horrifying, like the insides on the outside, or badly crippled.

the chick that i have got too 70 digress on the 3rd day of incubating for one night and only had a deformed tow.

sorry no my room was. it was summer and my room was the mud room. it was not used as a mud room but a laundry room and my room. and the incubator was a cardboard box so it made my room rely worm that summer.

Like others have said, you need to get the chick out of the incubator. It is not healthy or sanitary to have a chick living in the incubator with hatching eggs.

Secondly, I will say this since no one else will. If your mom will not allow you to set up a brooder for the chicks you hatch, why are you even attempting to hatch them in the first place? It is cruel and neglectful to have animals that your are unable to and not willing to care for properly. Again, please do your research and get permission from your mom BEFORE you bring more lives into the world. Chicks are fun and cute, but they are living creatures and caring for them is a responsibility.

Can you ask your mom to come on here and read what has been happening? Perhaps she will let you set up a broody after reading how you are hatching deformed chicks and that they will not survive living in an incubator. And seriously, my heat lamp uses maybe $5 a month in electricity. Chick food costs more than that (I assume the chick has something to eat??)

 

[peepsthebrassy]

yes their is food and water. are you mad at me?

i thought she would let me make a brooder but when i asked she told me " do you have money?" so i dropped the sudject.

If you can't provide a proper brooder for this chick. I recommend that you find someone who can. We're not talking about a lot of money here. If you incubate an egg, you're responsible for the life that hatches out of it. Keeping a chick in an incubator while you are still attempting to hatch more eggs is not appropriate for many reasons. First, that chick needs more air circulation and cooler temps. You are abusing that chick by keeping it too warm. Second: I bet that chick is making a huge mess of your incubator. Styrofoam? That bacteria will get into the foam, and make it a bacterial breeding ground. That may make it impossible to hatch more chicks because they will all die of infection before they can hatch. I don't want to sound mean here, but your mother shouldn't have given you permission to incubate eggs unless she was willing to let you do what is necessary to take care of any that hatch.

 

[peepsthebrassy]

i did not know any of that!

i am so worried i need to get my mom to let me make a brooder stat! as soon as i get home i well ask her!

Mad at you? No.

Frustrated that it appears very little planning and prep went into bringing (as many others have said) little LIVES into this world that require a certain degree of care in order to survive? Yes.

These are living creatures that are totally helpless and depend on YOU for food, water, protection, and warmth.

I am curious WHY you are continuing to hatch eggs, if you have no place to put the chicks knowing your mother won't let you set up a brooder with a 60W light bulb?? We can only help so much... Short of coming and doing it ourselves.

Also, X2 @lazy gardener on giving the chicks to someone who can provide the proper care needed to raise them if your mom won't get you a cardboard box and light bulb.
