I think he’s a Bantam… he was part of mixed eggs batch consisting of Bovans Brown, Brahma, Cream Legbar, Cuckoo Maran, Dekalb White, French Copper Maran, Light Sussex, 'Oliver Eggers' (farm’s own hybrid green egg layers) and Welsummer.
My 8 week old chick has suddenly become aggressive! Is this normal or am I doing something wrong. I do have 2 small kids who like to hold them every now and then and just scared she might harm them 🙈
I am hatching 12 chicken eggs but both from a different batch. The second batch went in exactly 10 days after the first one. Now I am at a stage where I do not know what to do during lockdown with the first batch which starts this Thursday 🙈. I am using Triwind automatic incubator.
How do I...
I had 3 shrink wrapped eggs and one embryo didn’t develop. It was my first hatch and quiet a traumatic experience as the last egg bled to death 😞
My mistakes costed them their lives
My first ever batch of 6 eggs…
1 hatched on early hours of Monday morning and the rest 5 are still in incubator.
We are now on day 22 and this is what I see… I know 1 egg isn’t going to hatch as the embryo stopped growing. But I’m confused and concerned as to why the other 4 haven’t hatched or...
Just feels like I have done something wrong and ruined the poor chicks chances of survival! I try to hear the chirps but nothing… I think the egg has slightly moved but maybe it’s my brain playing tricks. Even the air pocket on them are still intact… :(
I am using a second hand Chikers incubator for my 6 eggs.. we are on day 21 now with no pips. I can still see the air pocket on the top of the egg. The breeds are as follows:
This is my first time ever to hatch chicken eggs. I am on day 20 with 99.8’ and 71% humidity since lockdown. I haven’t had any chirps or pips yet…
Have I done something wrong? Please help
For some reason I can’t seem to get the humidity above 47% on day 17!
Can someone please help as I’m worried this will affect the chicks while hatching
