My Hen got Broody and climbed up on the laying box and started sitting on eggs. I caught the other hens climbing in with her and laying their eggs and she keot them warm. Craziest thing i ever saw. She has 10 eggs. I check on her and she gets out and i felt the eggs and they were cold. I...
Ok so i have read about lockdown. I put in 48 eggs in lockdown. 21 days they started popping one after another until i was a wreck lol! The chicks rest after hatching then they go about running all over the unhatched eggs and pecking at the zipping ones. Is this all normal? Just leave them...
I am having lots of chicks hatch at once and the humity climbs to 75. i did dry incubation at first until lockdown. Been trying to keep it at 65 but that is a battle with all popping out. I have all the plugs open umtil it drops back some. Is this ok?
I had an egg thats air cell was on the side rather than up top. I had a question mark because i didnt think it would hatch. It wasnt as active in the egg either. It just hatched an hour ago right on time day 21 lol!
This is a big chick that has hapily been running around 24 hours in the incubator. I noticed it starting to pant very fast not like the others. What causes this in the incubator?
We were candeling our 7 day eggs and this eggs air cell was not at the top. We can see movement already. So is this normal or will chick die? It was correctly placed in the incubator but it is off center and to the side 😱 so above cell you can see is the top wide part of the egg
Well it doesnt look like a Bantam as its yellow and fluffy. When i calmed down i checked the egg shell and it was a purchased mystery egg. Looks like a Buff!
At 4:00 am this morning i awoke for no reason at all. Its day 17 of my first Egg incubation ever. I decided to go check on my incubator as i had read yesterday that bantams can hatch early. My humidity alarm was fussing so i added warm water to raise the humidity. I then took my flashlight...
I call these chicks teenagers lol. My question is i treated the whole flock with Corid when i noticed yellow poops. Treatment or 7 days. I’m starting to see yellow poops again. Do i retreat? They are also on medicated chick starter since being in my flock. Just wanting to know.
