Hello Everyone, I have a 3 week old chick with sour crop. She was born with wry neck which resolved, physically, with selenium and B. Yestersay she was sluggish, still moving with the crew but her crop was big which i noted for the first time, visibly. I put her in another brooder, with an older...

Hi Everyone, thank you in advance. I have 4 white Bresse chicks. They are starting to get what look like purple 'bruised' spots at their wing/shoulder areas only. No where else and all 4 have them. They have plenty of room, no rough play, safe and inside....any ideas? Thank you in advance :)...

Hi Everyone, I am always worried about my hatches, I love my babies so much. I monitor temp/humidity closely, esp as I had recently been having issues with shrink wrap prior in my old Brinsea Eco Minis. I just had 2 successful big hatches via a new incubator which I love (Maticoopx) including...

I just had my first serama hatch. Day 20, pipped yesterday. 5 more have pipped. I am so worried about shrink wrap. That happened in my old Brinsea Eco Minis so this new Maticoopx incubator has been awesome. I stopped turning at day 16. Temp 99.5 and prelockdown humidity 50-55. Lock down humidity...

Hi Everyone, Thank you in advance-I am desperate. I have hatched seramas before but this time I have issues. Today is day 21 (these were shipped eggs as a side note). I have at least a half dozen eggs in lockdown in my Brinsea Eco. Temps have been at 100, humidity 30-50% and at lockdown...

Hi everyone, I always appreciate the help I get from this site, you guys are excellent! I hatched these eggs about 2 and 1/2 weeks ago from Georgia that I received from eBay and they were supposed to be a varied mix of orpington colors. All three look the same (are they chocolate orpington?)...

Hi Everyone, thank you in advance for your help! Happy Spring! I haven't hatched chicks for quite a while, but was interested in incubating some Orpington eggs. These eggs survived a lot from shipping to mishandling along the way, and they're hatching! So far two are completely out of the egg...

Hi Everyone, thank you to everyone at this forum as you have all been so helpful! Every night I have a routine which includes checking on my 5 hens and closing their hutch door. I have done this for 5 years. Last night I am assuming I forgot as I noted the main door open this AM. All of my...

Hello Everyone, my serama rooster sadly passed away a few months ago, but i was able to gather some of his fertilized eggs from my female serama and hatch some eggs. I have 3 beautiful babies that were incubator hatched and are attached to each other, but it appears only 1 is a pullet, 2 are...

Hi Everyone, thank you in advance for your help. My friend got several hatching eggs from ebay (large mixed breeds :)) and is raising them. She loves this one on the right but we are not sure what breed/sex. We are a guessing a guy and possibly half Easter Egger and something else? He is sweet...

Hi Everyone, I have been researching this, but am uncertain as to the best answer...so I thought I would ask here :). I have 4 serama eggs in the incubator now. I have 3 more I would like to add tomorrow. My original eggs will go into lockdown on May 10th. Is it a bad idea to add eggs now...

Hi Everyone, I had 2 serama chicks hatch last week and one died suddenly this Saturday afternoon. I am so worried about my surviving chick (it is doing very well and seems to think I am Momma but my heart worries about loneliness for the chick :)). I have no broody momma hens so am...

Hello everyone, I am always grateful for everyone's help. I posted pics yesterday and today of my newborn serama chicks. I hatched them via incubator. I know they are tricky but I had a 2 out of 3 hatch (my own serama pair were the parents). The other chick who hatched second was always...

Hi Everyone, I have a question. I have a small mixed flock of chickens. My silkie has been broody. She was sitting on 4 eggs of a friend who didnt have room in her incubator and she abandoned them all. They turned out to be infertile (shipped eggs). Today she was sitting on one of my pair of...

Hello Everyone, I apologize in advance about the graphic pics. I have a super small flock and am in an urban area. I have a high fence but know that doesn't protect my chickens from hawks. I have pie pans and plates in my trees as well as 2 scarecrow that I move and a fake owl. I have 3...

Hi Everyone, I always appreciate everyone here and any help I can get :). 2 of 3 serama eggs that I had shipped from Florida hatched several weeks ago. I am thinking it is too early to tell but does anyone have any input on roo or hen at this point? They are both the same size and both...

I have several button quail in a 40 gallon breeder tank. I have raised them from eggs. No outside contact and their substrate is newspaper pellets and/or flakes from the local feed mill and they eat gamebird starter from the mill as well. They are inside only, in my master bedroom. I care for...

Hi Everyone, Thank you in advance for any input or suggestions. I have 2 silkie hen sisters. They have been together since hatched. This winter one went broody and she hatched 3 chicks. Everyone has lived together very peacefully up until now. I note the one hen will seek out the other...

Hi Everyone, my friend got eggs off of ebay and had a few extra. I put them under my broody silkie and 2 hatched today. Does anyone have any idea what breed(s) they may be? Thank you :).

Happy New Year :). Hi Everyone, I have a question. I have 7 button quail eggs in the incubator. I have followed the guidelines for hatching then both in regard to humidity and temperature and turning as well as lockdown. Today is day 16-17. I got anxious, which is totally my fault. I did a float...
