I'm a first time emu hatcher and I'm having difficulty with my eggies loosing weight.
It's now day 29 with 3 emu eggs I got from a local farm. They were 1-2 weeks old when we got them, so they weren't very fresh.
Egg A and Egg B haven't been loosing nearly as much as they should be. They've...
I recently hatched an assortment of pure bred chickens. I got two turken eggs, green and all. One hatched. It has a fluffy neck! He's still super adorable, but no missing fluff on the beck like a turken should have?! Is it normal for newly hatched checks (>1 day) to still have fluffy necks?
I hatched some coturnix quail out from eggs I purchased at the supermarket. They are now about 4-5 weeks old. Standard coloring. They are looking for a home that won't eat them, ever. I have raised them in my bedroom and handle them daily. They are total sweet hearts. Local pickup only...
Okay.... so I bought some quail eggs from the food store. Three just hatched out today. I assumed they were Coturnix, I was right... well half right...
I assumed that the other chicks that had not hatched needed assistance. Well... I pipped into their air sacs, to find, in almost all of them...
We are willing to drive up to an hour to meet half way, provided the right home.
I have a serama cockerel (and a possibly hen paired with him) free to good home. He is a sweetie and loves chin scratches! He's about 4 weeks old. I hatched him and his siblings for the Easter HAL :) He came from...
Hello everyone!
I am concerned for my 6 shipped Serama eggs. They went into lockdown a few days ago. I candled them before they went into lockdown and every egg looked alive and healthy! They started wiggling a day or so after going into lockdown. Everything seemed fine, but they are now 18.5...
First off I'm not quite sure this is the right place for this thread...
So a couple weeks back we ordered 5 chicks from my pet chicken/Meyer and after 2 long weeks of waiting for them to hatch we got the shipping/hatch notification this afternoon :) Yay! Now I'm just wondering how long it...
I hatched 5 bantam mixes (both parents are purebred but different breeds) and 3 purebred amerucaunas on Friday the 19th. I can't keep the roosters so I would like to know who is a boy so I won't get to attached. :-/ i know it's pretty early to tell gender but I thought you guys might have a more...
So 2days ago I had 1 coturnix quail hatch and one dead in shell :(. 11chicks are due to hatch tomorrow. I check the history on the hydrometer and it says it got to 94% humidity!!!! What?! I fight to get it at 70%! Could this be a real, serious reading? The hydrometer is right next to where the...
So yesterday i set 24 eggs total but only one turkey egg, i got the eggs from a friend and currently i am turning them 3Xper day and its around 101F and at 55% humidity, im new at this whole thing so feel free to give me advice.
So now onto my slew of questions...
• Can you tell the breed of...
