    Does this chick need help?

    This egg has pipped and partially zipped but it was getting severely knocked around by the already hatched chicks. It's been this way for awhile and got knocked with the opening pressed against the styrofoam wall. When it got knocked back, this is what it looked like. All the other...

    Quail Chicks born with deformed feet!

    Hi everyone! Yesterday afternoon, I realized my quail chicks were hatching in the turner. I let the ones that were hatching continue to hatch, and then moved all of them to the hatcher with a high humidity. I believe several are shrink wrapped, although the humidity in the initial incubator was...

    My Chicken Isn't Moving Around Much and Squawks When She Does

    Hello everyone! Can someone please help me to understand what is going on with one of my sweet chickens? She stayed in her nesting box most of the day, so I placed food next to her so she would eat something. Then she came out, ate a little bit more, and would squawk, as if she was in pain. Is...

    No pip, but chick is breathing!

    Hello! My last post was about my egg that I almost threw out...but this time I have a different question. When I put my egg back in the Incubator, I noticed that the chick was breathing! But isn't that impossible if it hasn't internally pipped? :confused:

    Chick was stuck in egg, now neck is weird

    I just hatched a batch of coturnix quail chicks and at least one of them got stuck in the egg. Two were fine once I helped get the shell off, but the third must have been like that for a while because it's neck is still twisted to the side like it's still in the egg. All chicks are now in the...

    Should I help my chicks out? How and when?

    Now, I'm not overly worried. But if my chicks haven't hatched on day 24 (today is day 22) I'm going to help. Is that too early? If absolutely nothing has happened by tomorrow dinner time I'm going to do all the tests I can think of (float test, candle, tap the air bubble etc.) and if they...
