Pekin bantam has hatched out 11 of 13 eggs. 6 black and 5 white. We put the heating lamp in with her, in two big boxes, with room for all to move about. Day 5 have noticed that she is pecking at the black chicks especially when feeding, passing all the white chicks to get to the black chicks...
Hi,
Can you take chicks off a hen when they are born? Bantam pekin has hatched 11 out of 13, one egg to go. Worried some may get cold and die as may be too many. What are others thoughts? Thanks
What % should I keep eggs at now, we're middle Incubation at present , day 18 , week and a half to go. Normally it would be at 50-55% humidity at this point , advice??
Yes they are shipped eggs but got them special delivery so here in just one day. Does this affect hatching rate you think?do you have experience hatching these? Should I keep the humidity higher???
So have 6 turkey hatching eggs in incubator. Day 18, what way should the air sac be at the moment? Should it be taking up half of the egg in an up and down fashion around the egg ( if ya know what I mean). Advice plz? 🙂
Well,
My Silkie rooster has got her eye poked out!!! How could this happen? Who or what could have done this? He is very anxious runs away from us all the time, doesn't like going outside.
He's kept with a little bantam hen at night. We have two other roosters (RIR and Barnvelder) kept...
