My Wyandotte survived, Houdini was a large chick... it's sibling that died in shell was even bigger and egg bigger too, it couldn't absorb all the yolk, its belly was completely full when I eggtopsied and still yolk left... on a side note all 3 of my Wyandottes (2 bought from the store to...

Are you sure the not turning thing was to me? I don't remember saying anything about turning and funny feet... my chicks abnormal feet have mostly been hatching too soon or too late or me assisting from what I've seen... As for the aircell bit, I'm thinking that because where the chick was...

Hope everyone had a good Halloween. My cross beak chick officially was hatched yesterday..., named it Eegor due to holiday, and it's deformities...turned out to have only 1 eye as well... then learned it yolk was still absorbing even though all the blood vessels had shrank...then seen its belly...

Currently in my styrofoam covered cheapy china incubator, a lot of eggs are doing well...including a set that should have been scrambled... I just have 3 eggs (out of 50) with crazy aircells, lookin like day 19/20...no idea how to fix for those few... would a damp paper towel be a bad idea? I...

Please tell me the magic number? Lol. I'm in Northern California, Bay Area... still struggling between not enough air cell growth and too much :( (all shipped eggs though)

Well I move my thermometers around. I thought I was going to be done after the Polish... but now my replacement eggs are showing up here n there lol... if I can get down to just the one that is allowing the last two deliveries 90% growing, I'd be great. The Buff Laced Brahma that mentioned...

I've been so busy taking care of 40-50 chicks after working 8-10hrs/day and finding homes for the ones I don't want/can't keep that I haven't got to post here... so all the sebrights from Ideal have passed. 2 Turkens have passed now, with the possibility of 1 or 2 following...fresh ground up...

Thanks for sharing these links... very interesting...saving. Once I try incubating my own birds eggs (since so much of what I'm going through can be attributed to just the shipping portion of my eggs currently, and secondly no idea how healthy the flocks are they are coming from) I can check...

I suppose it does... :P Um... my chicks yolk appears to no longer be absorbing... Very strong, vigorous chick, was hard to get that picture above...here it is with the others. Pretty large. Took it out of incubator because it was harming the not yet ready chicks with its reckless climbing...

So out of the 5 Cornish eggs, a dark and a white Laced Red hatched... the other 3 pip'd internally and that's it :( The Coronation Sussex Pip'd internal and died, in guessing within the hour that I opened it, as it was still warm and wet :( Blue Laced Brahma Didn't appear to pip, see nothing...

@Wickedchicken6 about the Araucana that would be a girl for you... The heat lamp is putting a yellow/red/orange cast to him, but he is a brilliant burnt red...comb is already reddening and goes back on the head a little ways in my opinion. Most of my chicks are these low profile type combs, so...

I definitely recommend the link posted for you earlier, and the rest surrounding it. I've been hatching nothing but shipping eggs, and they were my first experience... cheap China made incubator, and I think I only now, after I think 2 months of trying, finally figured out their quirks and the...

I'm in the middle of a triangle that hits San Francisco, Stockton/Lodi, and Sacramento lol... popular description of location here is: "You know where San Francisco is? Ya I don't live there. 45min away" lol

I only can keep 2 avg of each breed... soooo Dark Cornish, Lakenvelder (Silver), Naked Necks, Sebrights... have quite a few Easter Eggers looking good in the Incubator too, come from Pink Eggs, so probably a few of those too. Some Hmong I just got too. I will likely be rehoming most of the...

Mine are on day 19 an so 20 as far as lock down goes... no pips as of now. Got 24 week old chicks growing from Welp, my 11 3-5wk olds... just added the 8 2 wk old Hmong I won, and get another 15 2-day olds from Ideal tomorrow or the next day... still have 2 incubators going... I think I went...

That's my luck currently ;)

All I have been doing is shipped eggs, 100's of them and I've gotten maybe 10 chicks total out of them... I am learning still mind you, but the clears could be many things including(but not limited to) shaking during transit, falls, drops, flips, egg being spun during bubble wrapping or after...

Btw, here's Houdini now... also a cute pic of my Buff Polish (currently just called Buff) and my Araucana boy, (Ginger, but that does t sound manly, and recently realized he's a boy...likely will be renamed) These two and Silver(Splash Maran) love love love! sitting top of their brooder heh...

This is awesome! Love that's when that happens. I still feel giddy coming in to see Houdini running around yelling at me to refill the food or water ;) I agree about the scrambled egg n water... if she gets how to do water but doesn't seem to be doing food, then liquified would be the way to go...

:( Might need to lock them up or tape it shut.
