I am back with ANOTHER hatchalong!!
This time we have 28 eggs!!
Because I put them in kind of later in the afternoon, due to getting the humidity right, if I get at least 2 or more than that I’ll put them in the inc as well.
Here’s how it’ll work:
- I will give the numbers that’s on each...
I have 2 male Pekín ducks I raised as babies
(as well as a female muscovey but she’s on the skidding side. I didn’t raise her.)
And they LOVE to nibble on my kinda hard. I don’t think they mean to do it so hard but I also can’t tell.
If I don’t have closed toes shoes on they chase my feet...
I’m not really sure what this is or how to fix it but any suggestions?
It’s some hard white thing in the middle of her nostrils and has idk possibly dirt or something black in it.
Is she ok?
I have a new baby chick who’s only 3 days old but its toes are curled instead of open and flat. If there a way to fix this or help?
It’s hatchmates feet look fine just this one.
Pic examples:
I just a got an incubator and with the new additions to the flock and a new layer I ended up collecting 31 eggs.
(The incubator can hold up to 41 for future reference)
That being said it’s time to pick an egg!
Here’s how it’ll work:
- I will give the numbers that’s on each egg.
- I will...
I had a chick hatch yesterday. It was fine seemed healthy. Staying under its chick heater. (Not a lamp. The plastic ones.) all the other chicks I’ve hatched had been fine. The one born last night is also fine. But it seemed to have just passed away for a reason I can’t figure out.
I’ve...
My chick seems to be hatching from the tip instead of the bottom. It hasn’t broken the membrane yet but has the shell. I can see it breathing and see its beak. Should I help it out?
I have two Pekín ducks.
Sunny (darker bill) and Toothless (lighter bill)
Tootless seems more like a female to sunny except when it comes to drake curl.
Toothless has a somewhat loud raspy quack
Very shy and soft compared to sunny.
Always has had a light colored bill (it as pink as a baby)
And...
I have a total of 21 chickens and 3 ducks
As well as two chicks and some eggs incubating.
Here’s all of my feathered babies and their names! (Two are unnamed so names are welcomed as well)
Feel free to drop pics and names of your flock as well!
This is Holly Peño a RIR and has two eggs in...
I was taking out eggs that hadn’t hatched at day 25 because when I candled them I didn’t see any movement.
However upon opening one was still living and kicking.
I broke the membrane on accident a little but I stopped the bleeding. I’m just not sure what to do. I’ve raised humidity and I hear...
I don’t know the proper temp and humid for lockdown. I’ve been doing 60-65 humid and 100 temp but both the two chick that have gotten close to hatch both tried to hatch without fully absorbing the yolk.
I’ve changed the temp to 99 and I’m not sure if that’s enough to help or if I need to bring...
It’s been going good with hatch but hasn’t zipped and it’s 1-2 hours over 24 hours. I can’t tell what position the chick is in or what’s going on.
I don’t know when to intervene or if I should.
This v I know was supposed to hatch today but didn’t. It popped and zipped then stoped and never broke out. No noise no movement no breathing.
This is the pic I took after breaking it out of the egg and membrane. The humidity kept good as I kept a constant eye on it even stay up to make sure...
I have 23 total eggs incubating currently!! And I want you all to join in the hatching fun so I’ll tell you th3 numbers and what stage they are in incubation and you simply pick whichever you think will hatch and what color!!
It’s all for fun so it’s ok if you don’t guess right but if the...
So I have a bunch of eggs (25) that I’m trying to hatch. I have a few questions and concerns.
Starting off last Wednesday (Aug 31)
I tried to keep the eggs warm via candles until I could get back power. The ones I could transport I took to my aunts who has a generator. So they weren’t without...
I’ve made two homage incubators (one is for lockdown one is for the first 16 days. Because I don’t want too much humidity)
I started with 25 eggs in total. I had to discard about 7 yesterday due to being past due date (and DIS)
I have one that’s supposed to hatch today but hasn’t made a sound...
So I can’t smell much as is but I noticed a smell in my incubator. i had a bunch of eggs that needed to hatch/were going to hatch/are going to hatch soon in here. This is my lockdown incubator. I already had 4 eggs that are going day 26 and two going on day 21 -23. I took the one that was on day...
I have 4 eggs ready to hatch Aug 31st (today) however we lost power yesterday around 10 ish and I’ve been keeping them warm and as humid as possible with blankets (covering the bottom/my vents) and candles (for warmth and such) however they have made a sound or movement or single lip. This is my...
