My friend hatched some eggs, 10 hatched and we're fine for 4 days, today 7 chicks suddenly started shaking and then died. This is all what she told me, I didn't see this first hand so I have no further details. On medicated chick feed in the brooder inside. What happened???
Howdy! Work has been crazy wild. Sorry it's been so long.
Due to work being so crazy, I left eggs outside in 96 degree weather for three days (just never collected). Can I still eat them? They are fertile, so are there babies in them now?
If so, how do I separate the 3 day old eggs from the...
I have a question on auto sexing.
I have a hen who is Dominique x white leghorn (roo was wl), and had her covered by a mixed unknown breed Roo. The chicks hatching are yellow, and other chicks are black with white head dots. Could they be auto sexing??? If so, which are hens and which are Roos?

Something is wrong with my white leghorn eggs! :-/
I set 9 and only one hatched! I had sold a dozen to a guy and he only had one hatch too! I opened an unhatched egg and the chick was perfect inside but never absorbed his yolk sac. What could be happening? They are fertile and my other eggs...
I've gotten it to take a few sips of electrolytes but still seems like dieing.
Oh boy what manner of issues did I NOT have lol...high and low temps daily and low humidity then high humidity. 8 hatched out of 42. I tried to set it in my camper...which I live in...and it didn't work.
Working...
I just looked at the other chicks and I think this one was the runt. I think she will surely die. I just wish I knew what happened! Was eating and drinking this week...
