ABOUT #3 and what not to do #3 did not make it. I blame myself for sealing this little one's fate. Although it was most probable this little one wouldn't hatch, I intervened too soon. Here's why. At day 21 the eggs looked like they were at about day 15. As it turns out, that estimate coincided...

UPDATE #1 and #2 are doing great These two were weak. I gave them a few drops of sugar water (1/4 tsp in a cup of water) during the first couple of hours. These little ones were lethargic, most likely due to dehydration and little energy stores due to extended incubation period. #1, the...

Right. It's so much better when everything goes as it should. No one is satisfied with pancakes when they're baking a cake 😁

We have some hatching action. Here is the thread with that info https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/hatching-at-day-25.1627615/

Day 25! 3 eggs started pipping. Two have hatched. One is still trying but has not absorbed its yolk sack. This started with a post about what to do with a delayed hatch. This portion is about the late hatching. Here's the other thread...

This is great advice. Always have a back up hygrometer and thermometer. Even expensive incubators can be off.

5 I wonder if I should have kept turning them. I did, a little. They seem to stay in position. Today is day 22. 5 are still moving 🤞

Wondering about he chick. Any updates? Thanks

Long story and some commentary. This is a weird one, at least for me. I have hatched eggs about a dozen times succesfully, four with my Brinsea Maxi 24 Advanced with this being my fifth. This last batch we had a problem with the incubator, and power outages. The turning motor stopped working. I...

Yes, dawn dishwasher detergent is great. Mix a few drops in water if you're concerned about the strength. Keep the hair dryer on warm, not high. Provide photos. That way you can get tips on how to wrap. Yes, dawn dishwasher detergent (original not scented types) is great. Mix a few drops in...

Have you washed the chick?

An incubator at the stable where my friend keeps her horses had an earlier than expected hatch. The owner uses one of the tower type egg incubators worth water bottles on lines for humidity. This means there is water the bottom. In visiting when I hear an urgent come help. My friend is...

Thank you. Yes, I have permethrine for the birds. The problem is the carpenter bees are eating the house. Permethrine doest have residual effect sufficient to deal with the bees. I woul have preferred elector psp, but the husband bought this stuff. Both are pricey. Temprid, according to the...

We have a terrible carpenter bee problem and are considering Temprid FX. It's active ingredients are Imidacloprid 21.0% Beta-Cyfluthrin 10.5% My concerns are about honey bees (which we don't have nearby) and how this may affect the chickens and goats. Does anyone have any experience they can...

This is little star. She's one of my first rescues. Little has never been of the strongest constitution. She's a little small and didn't start laying till well after she was a year old. We were sure there was something physically wrong with her. She's a good layer, not great. She is of a slight...
