It does not look broken to me. It looks like the feathers have grown long on one side. Does she hold it funny? Like it is injured? I have never seen this before, sorry i can't help more.

The wing on the other side is just as long but it's actually tucked up under the shorter wing. I can tuck it back under but it pops back out when he uses the wing. Maybe it's not broken but flexible. lol He doesn't complain if I move it. I'll keep watching it. Thanks. sueIt does not look broken to me. It looks like the feathers have grown long on one side.

Is this only for chicks? Or okay for older chickens?I put Delisha's recipe for organic chick starter feed on the thing.
Mumsy, Were your eggs just in cartons in the incubator before switching to the baskets? Do they go in the baskets for lockdown? Do you base your assessment on the candling or weight of the egg? Sorry for all the questions. I'm just starting today on incubating my first batch of eggs. I'm following your recommendations for my LG...Today I separated the Catdance eggs in the Genesis into basket compartments. I found them at the dollar store. Cut them apart and re-glued them into three compartments each. For hatching I want the chicks separated so I can mark them.
Baskets, sissors, and hot glue.
Sixteen eggs separated between six compartments. A tight fit but the two baskets just fit.
I broke one egg out today. A PA egg means Paint. It was a quitter between day four and day six. It had eye with pigmentation, leg and wing buds, and was stuck to the shell. There are two more that I will probably break out tomorrow too. Waiting until the last minute before lock down to be sure. Air cells look good on all the rest.
You're right about that. I still will allow some of mine to range.. Only the ones that will not be for show.. And the roosters. They will probably be the only boys with my layer flock. I'm trying to decide what to repurpose my baby barn for after the barn is built. I'm thinking of using it for a bachelor pad over winter (for the Rock boys as well as the Houdan boys and the BCM boys if I end up getting them).Silkies are Ornamentals and not ranging chickens..My DH would never allow me to FR the silkies..he is afraid to let them out at all
Doesn't look broken to me either. Just looks like it grew longer.It does not look broken to me. It looks like the feathers have grown long on one side. Does she hold it funny? Like it is injured? I have never seen this before, sorry i can't help more.
