They didn't eat the cucumber but it did work to get them picking at the dots of food , It was a tip I was given when trying to get my button quail chicks to start eating and it worked 🤩
Aw right Tgank yous 🙏🥰 I read not to leave it to late to sex ,
That was just a piece of tinfoil that I was tapping to encourage them to eat/peck , it did the trick then I removed it incase they ate it x
Any idea on sex? The big huge one hatched 2 days early and came out like a baby elephant 🤣🥰😍 when i popped him into the brooder he just walked over and had a drink and food and then walled around upending everything checking everything out lol 5 chicks hatched out of 6, one was to weak and...
hes out safely 🤩
3 more left that have pipped so just left them alone now till they hatch x
I keep tapping the ground but they wont even try eat or drink , should I just leave them till morning? they are warm and dry and content snuggled together under heat plate x
nearly 22 hours since he start unzipping abd seems to be stuck since this morning, I took the 2 fluffed up ones out and safely in the brooder they were throdding all over him , i used a warm wet piece of cotton wool and was able to remove some shell but he seems exhausted so I just left him in...
Thanks , its day 14 , do you think i should stop putting water in now untill day 18 ? Im sooo frustrated with it because they are definitely fertile its definitely the incubators fault its going wrong x
What if I tried dry hatching ? would i still have to put water in for the last 3 days ?
Im raging I didn't realize this one was so bad 😫 doesn't even have a hole to top up the water , you have to take the whole top half off and pour water in 😔
my glass thermometer broke and local store ordered me one should be here by tomorrow morning.
I hadn't got the heart to tell my husband it was a bad one , cause he bought it off Adverts 🙈
