hatched

I have no idea what I’m doing, my boss’s kid is hatching quails in the smart mini automatic incubator and we almost threw them out! I had a feeling to check to see if they were really all duds, and I lightly pushed on the egg and it cracked,and the chick started CHIRPING. I felt so bad...

Hey BYC friends, my duck, Cocoa, has been sitting on 4 duck eggs. We found her today in the woods on her nest. I have no idea how long she has been there, but I think she is trying to collect a clutch. How do I relocate her to a safer location?

One of the ducklings that just hatched has a soft, squishy, somewhat distended belly. None of the other ducklings have this. This one is weaker than the rest - we had to assist in hatch. Rocky was able to internally pip but did not progress at all. Rocky wasn’t positioned right and we removed...

Hello, i have a new little one that just popped out of its olive colored shell. I know it is a barnyard mix and that the rooster is a maran and the mother was some type of easter egger but i am confused about some of its traits already! Mainly, it has 5 toes! I was under the impression that...

The one on the left is the one who incubated the eggs. One chick hiding under each hens wings.

2 chicks hatched on the w/e! We set 6 eggs under one hen, others couldn't make up their minds which nest to go broody in & kept leaving the eggs due to bad storms. 3 sister hens selected the one nest, which had the eggs. Of the 6 eggs, we had: 1 broke, 2 no good, 1 'dead in shell' & 2 chicks.

Hi! I came home from vacation and saw that my 2 broody hens had 8 chicks and 4 eggs that were still occupied. One of the eggs had pipped and seemed like it was having trouble coming out. I removed some of the shell to assist it and it came out fine. However the two hens are occupied with the...

So our White Leghorn in this pic isn’t the actual momma.. she hatched 11 of her Babies under our trailer (roadside) and has been an amazing mother, teaching them all they need to know! 4 weeks later, this morning she left them and flew over 3 fences to come back and lay more! Side note: her...

I just hatched a chick that has a bald spot on its head. It is a Dorking Orpington leghorn cross. Half Dorking. Has anyone seen this before? What is it? Other than the spot the chick seems healthy.

I just wanted to use this forum to show off my ducks! Last year I bought some hatching eggs and hatched some mallards, this year the female hatched 8 ducklings :D They all hatched today, and very quickly too. I’m surprised how well they all did, it goes so much quicker then with an incubator...

Hi, I am in confusion whether it is better to remove the basket or should i leave them be? The last egg hatched today--still not able to go out of basket to feed and drink. But planning if it is better to remove will do it tomorrow(to allow new hatched chick to dry off). They are 7chicks now...

My ducklings just hatched this morning and my humidity is 89! How do I lower it?

Hello my emu hatched 24 hours ago and was drinking water only like 2 sips and it won’t eat it’s food I’ve tried diced carrots, cucumbers, and lettuce plus non medicated chicken feed. I’m pretty sure that’s normal since it just hatched but it’s been acting weird where it faints every 5-20...

Hi all, Two of my silkies have hatched some chicks just a couple of days apart, Silkie 1 (Kylo Hen) hatched 4 chicks on Christmas day, and Silkie 2 (Chewie) hatched 11 (!!!) a couple of days later. I brough both hens and all chicks into the house as it is winter and I was worried they'd be too...

Hey , I have my first duckling hatched today. He came out all except the bottom. He has the yolk attached to him and isn’t absorbed all the way, we’ve wrapped him back up in a damp washcloth and put him back in the incubator , is there anything else to do ?

One of my hens have been sitting on four eggs and now they have hatched. The first one has hatched with something wrong with his face. Please someone give me advice on what happened and what steps to take now. I’m away from my home on vacation and my care taker just informed me on this matter...

interested in getting red shoulder yokohama chicks. Is anyone or know of somebody selling some?

Hatched today. Baby chick, only one of three eggs. Other two should be hatching within a week. I haven't incubated chicks in a year. This one was incubated and hatch. He's lonely and , like all chicks, cries - chirps. A whole lot. He's in the homemade brooder. Chirping away, when I talk to...
