    Vaccinating 2 day old chick that is still in incubator for Marek’s

    Hi I’m looking for advice about vaccinating chicks that we’ve hatched out. So far 2/4 of our chicks have hatched, and the oldest will be 24 hours old tonight. I only purchased one vial of vaccine for these guys because I didn’t think about the fact that it could take multiple days for everybody...

    My First Hatch-Along (Character Themed)

    Hello everyone! I was originally going to wait until Day 5 in case absolutely none of these end up viable, but I'm hoping by committing now means there will hopefully be lots of life waiting in these sweet eggs. This is my first ever Hatch-Along. I was wanting to plan, and prep, and wait for a...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.) Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18. It is...

    Magnolia Acres Farm

    If this ain’t the cutest thing ever!!! So our mama mallard still had eggs in her nest on Thursday when the rest had hatched and she got off of her nest.

    One of my chicks is sick with coccidiosis and i dont know what to do :(

    Hey, i hope my post isnt too long and at least somewhat understandable. A few months ago we planned to hatch chickens for us and also for a friend of us. She asked for a certain breed, which was totally okay fur us, since we wanted to hatch more than one breed anyway. In the end we could only...

    Question about Incubating Bantam Eggs

    Hey I have a maticcoopx (20 egg) incubator, I have currently been using it just as a backup for if a broody hen abandons the nest (or leaves some eggs after the first chicks hatch). I want to attempt to incubate my bantam eggs in it now but before I do I wanted to get some information on what...

    10 hours after hatch and duckling isnt strong enough to stand

    We ordered 12 hatching eggs, but only two pipped and hatched (there was a mail delay so they spent like 8 days in the post). The one hatched great on his own and is doing super well. But the other one just made one external pip on the wrong end, which just got bigger and bigger. After 30 hours...

    Newbie to incubating

    unfortunately, a hawk got one of my hens yesterday. I want to incubate her last eggs and see if I can at least let her live on through a little one. I set up the incubator this morning. Temp is 100 degrees and humidity is at 69%. How long do I wait before I put the eggs in? Anything I should...

    Hen left eggs at day 16. Will she mother them?

    I have a five-year-old Buff Orpington that has hatched and raised several broods in past years. This year, I started her sitting on a clutch 12-14 days AFTER she started showing signs of being broody. (I won't be vacationing this time of year again!) She sat fine for 15-16 days. And then started...

    Name the breed of this mystery chick?

    Hi! This mystery chick hatched from a medium brown egg 4 days ago. Any idea what breed he/she may be? It’s very spunky, digs in the shavings more than the others, and likes to chest bump the other chicks. Not that any of that has anything to do with the type of chicken they’ll grow up to be:)

    First-time Duck Momma and her Babies

    My 9 month old Fawn & White Runner duck hen that only started laying eggs 2 months ago started setting on eggs a month ago, and she actually sat all the way through to hatch! Sadly, she didn't know what was happening and even with my help two ducklings didn't survive hatching. She squished them...

    Is turning my eggs every 8 hours, 3 times per day enough?

    Hello everybody! I'm about to start my second incubator journey. Last year, I managed to have a ~90% success rate with my bator, of combined duck and chicken eggs. First time was rather lucky as far as the incubating went. Back then, I had more time on my hands since I did it on a school break...
