Pippie at 4 days old

So proud 👏

Yes she did! She seems perfect, I hope she pulls through. Thank you for all the support!

Shame man, I feel your pain very much. I have terrible guilt every time I have to euthanize one of my pets. I currently have 2 cats starting to show signs of suffering and I tend to go the other way in trying to treat them but then they end up suffering more and then I feel guilty about that. I...

She is out! Yay! She had a bit of gluey gunk on her back and wing so I bathed her in warm water, blow dried her a bit and put her back in the incubator to fluff. The brooder is warming up and has a teddy, a mirror and a feather duster in there. Let's see how she fares.

I read it and then quickly realised my mistake(s). I panicked because the other one quit after internal pip and I wished I had intervened. Is there anything specific you can advise me to look for at this point? Should I moisten those membranes? Should I just leave her to do her thing in the...

Those veins on the roof of the egg shell look very red to me but because ai didn't put any water or vaseline or coconut oil, I am fretting about the membranes drying out. Incubator humidity at 70%. Should I take it out and rub something on? Do I just wait? Will it hatch by itself from here or...

It now has 2 external pips. Should I help?

The single egg left has pipped externally!

Hi everyone All my eggs have failed and I have one that internally pipped but it's been 36 hours and no pip. I think it needs help but should ai help it or let it die because it will be alone?

I think you're right, the air cells looked too small.

I doubt it kept dry during the torrential rains we had on and off. It was in the veggie patch, she made a huge beautiful nest but no I doubt it stayed dry.

Hi everyone! I had such dismal results with my last hatch because we frequently have long, unplanned power cuts, sometimes 12 hours at a time, often in the middle of the night when we are sleeping. It was detrimental during lock down. What kind of inexpensive but efficient back up system can I...

Hi All! My poor runner has been sitting dutifully on her nest for 28 days. She started with 10 eggs and when we checked on day 26 there were 5 and a terrible smell. I candled them and one was completely opaque. I did an eggtopsy and it was far along but rotten. The other eggs looked like they...
