Right after I posted this it pipped lol, unfortunately got up next morning foam looking stuff was coming out he was almost completely zipped. Wasn't moving chipping etc I took it out tried save him but he was already dead. I wish I would got up mid of night to check but he was doing so good. The...
I haven't been on in awhile and didn't notice bday wishes from last yr, I just wanted say thank you. All my chickens and ducks are doing great. Also thank you for all the help on here. God bless everyone and I pray everyone is doing good.
I incubated polish chicks for place we buy feed from. Chicks did great. I'm doing turkey eggs now. I know it's 28 days for hatch. Today is day 27 one pipped. But the biggest egg started rocking 4 days ago and still hasn't pipped, still rocking. Is that normal. The one that pipped started rocking...
