Too cute! And congrats on a 100%! That takes serious skill.

I was actually looking at doing this in the city after I recover from having my baby. Urban chicken keepers are getting more and more popular around here so I could see there being a demand for this around holidays. :) Crossing my fingers and hoping. It would be nice income in winter when the...

Oz, glad you are feeling better!

Ouch. Poor baby... Hope it heals up fast.

Sally, crossing my fingers for Halo. Also, if anyone feels like venturing an opinion, I have a sickly chick. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/757556/sickly-chick-goopy-eye-treatment#post_10746327

That's a LOT of eggs... Anyone know how Oz is doing this morning?

Adorable! :love

Is actually warming up here. I think it got into the mid to upper 50s here! Balmy.

Figured I would stop in briefly. My eggs have been incubating for five days; I can't wait to candle! Dominique chickies, I can't wait!!!

One weekend, 243 posts to catch up on. This may take a while...

Maybe you could just put a quarter over the hole instead. Maybe a piece of tape over the bottom of it to make it flatter.

The brahma is standing this morning! It looks like those little legs are straightening out!

They are all about 36 hours old this morning. There are vitamins in the water, I do that for every batch of chicks for the first five days or so minimum. Longer if pasty butts are present. i am giving the little one time and some scrambled egg later. It had to be the only Buff Brahma I...

The one on the left lying down has the leg issues. It doesn't stand, just hobbles around using the entire leg like a foot. :/ Going to post it in 'injuries/illness' section to see if there is any help for it. All 7 from above. This one seems to be trying to figure out what the heck...

A thought, is it possible to have uneven humidity in the incubator with forced air? All the eggs with problems were on the left side and the strongest incubated directly over a water well, right side. ?

And seven chicks. Whats really confusing me is that some chicks are perfectly fine, no issues at all while others... I am just not going to mess with the rest until tonight. I let a fair few go into lockdown that were iffy to begin with but I think messing with it will only cause more harm...

I had one fast fix to get the thermometer in there early on day 19 but the humidity/temp readings barely shifted from that and were normal again within 10 minutes. And then last night to save the shrink wrapped babies. DS is asleep so I am going to go look in on them again. My humidity...

Six chicks hatched so far. The egg that started zipping last night is gone. When I went to see if it needed help I found it was stuck to the cheesecloth. Not sure if it was fluid from the egg hatching or hatching gunk from another chick but that egg was glued in place.t looked like even...

Wow. Not sure why but that chick and her neighbor were both shrink wrapped. The second chick had pipped earlier but I thought it was just taking its time zipping. I am glad I helped them. No blood whatsoever and two very tired stuck-in-place chicks. I hope the rest don't do that. The two...
