No. But... Look it up, and hatch them yourself. Then post pictures.

alright ... I guess I'll see if I can find enough info. I wish I could just stick them under a broody chicken, but it's not that easy in this case!

Good morning/afternoon all!! Thank you for all the comments about my worms - It didn't look like maggots or fly larvae to me. These were super skinny - thinner than a string of yarn, pure white and about half an inch long, and they were crawling in and out of holes in the sludge.... Any time I've seen maggots - they have been short, fat, white, wriggling things. They wiggle around, they don't crawl - like a real worm crawl.

This coop has been empty for almost 3 weeks. It's been HOT, and I have been busy and didn't clean it right away - the ones WITH chickens needed cleaning sooner.

I will be taking some fecal samples from the group of chickens that were in that coop.. These are chicks that had been outside 3 or 4 times - while I cleaned their coop. So they could have picked up something then. But, I'm thinking it's something else - I don't think they were from the chicks.


But for other news - the first 4H meeting I am going to is tonight! By signing up, I get to keep my chickens!!

Just curious, can anyone tell me if these are roosters? I have someone crowing in this pen, and I can't see who is doing the crowing. I suspect these...

Contact Susan Russo, I think she has lots of experience hatching cockatiel eggs.

lock down is day 18, up humidity to 65% ish

MAKE SURE TO USE A CALIBRATED THERMO AND HYGRO

thats the most important

What do I do when the natural environment we live in, is 40-60+ % humidity every day? And, how do you up the humidity if there's not an option for it on the incubator? Also, where does one find a calibrated one? Amazon? Our feed store doesn't sell anything besides the brooder thermo.

Put dry rice in a sock or stocking to suck the moisture if the humidity is too high. Use wet cloths or sponges to raise the humidity. A small container of water (baby food jar) works too.
You can caliberate it yourself. Walmart sells several for about $15 and under (and more).
