I don't know how to link, but if you see any horses out information is on the site for Stolen horses International.

that's not good the chick could drown
have any of the air cells drawn down?? where the draw down is is generally where the will pip and start zipping, when you lay them on there side you would want the draw down up

My air cells are at about day 18 examples given by Sally. There has been no "draw down" yet, I believe, because my air cells are pretty similar to what they were a week ago. I'll attach picture.
My concern is that when I tilt one of the eggs, I can see clear liquid moving past the membrane, or air cell and it confuses me. Its been there this whole time. Even a week ago. I just assumed it would be absorbed.

Awwww!

SOP is the standard of perfection (i think?)

good luck with all the eggs/broodies, hopefully you get some chicks out of those eggs 

Yep.

Hiiiii!!

I got a chick update but sorry for leaving a long time but anyway my chicks are getting better and my rooster is trying to grow and he is still a baby

I'm sorry..no I'm not..  But...some of you really should just get on the telephone and chat!   Does anyone know what at telephone is?   Or does everyone here text?      Or....get on fun BYC and type away.    I guess that's the best yet. 

Cooling down around here!   I can't believe we will be getting down into the 80's tomorrow.  I'm ok with that!   

No....eggs....in....a....bator!!!!   What?!?  

I don't like cell phones, (actually, I detest them) and I had to shut down the landline after it got too pricey.

I don't text either!

Hi everyone! Tomorrow is lockdown on my first hatch. Just a recap, I had large air cells at day 10 and I realized it thanks to Sally's links she offered to me. I increased humidity and just candled. Only one has had any growth of air cell, and its minimal. I was told they looked like day 18 air cells, so I think I'm good there.
My question is, these are shipped eggs and 2 had detatched air cells. They've been sitting up this whole time. One of them has liquid that floats around the air cell when I turn it to its side. I'm wondering how this will work when I place the eggs on their sides?

Listen to MC, she gave you good advice!

One of my broody hens is outside stretching. I was able to see that there are at least eight eggs.

CONGRATS on the badges, everyone!!!!

I hope that the new meds help and she is feeling better tomorrow. That must be so stressful being on the road for so many hours with someone sick back at home. I hope you don't have too long of a day today!



Congratulations to all the winners!! It seems like most of the winners are in this group!

Thank you all for the kind words about my pup. Seems that the white silkie non rooster-roo died during the fireworks, so does anyone know if chickens get scared? He's been suffering from the heat, more than the other silkies, so he's been getting more personalized care. Gets taken inside for the hottest parts of the day, extra electrolites and yogurt. But an early morning check of the coop this morning, they found him dead. Another chicken to ship off for testing! He came to us with an impacted crop. We took care of that, but his pouch stayed the same size. We would have to regularly massage it if it got too full. He's the only roo that I've seen that acted EXACTLY like a layed back hen, he took care of the babies, wasn't aggressive to newcomers, never strutted around, never crowed...actually never made a single sound. He was somewhat useless. But, I'm still sad he died. Everyone else in the pen is doing great!

still sounds like a good roo

hmmmm, i am not the best person to help my concern would be that when it internally pips, it will hit the liquid and drown, i would worry about all the others, but def try to keep an eye for draw down and internal pips
