Hi. I was incubating some chicken eggs for a few days and they were growing. Today the incubator suddenly turned off and I did not notice. I want to know if the eggs are still alive. The turn off period was not more than 2 hours. Please someone tell me how long they can live without heat.
hm dead. i made a big hole actually. damn. they were in full size. no yolk left. that means they died at the very last moment. what can be the possible reason? I think it's my fault. I handled the eggs a lot. also there was a 6 hour power outage in my area for some maintenance. my ips could not back it up for about two hours. that can be a reason too.
I'm sorry. It might not have been you or your setup. Talk to your cousin to see how his hatches have gone. If he has a low hatch rate then it's genetic. Which would mean something isn't right genetically about the parents.
Now go get a peep for your single or it will drive you stark raving mad with it's pitiful cries.
Probably, as long as they are as young as yours. If they are older it's going to be a problem to bring two older birds in. Might be better just to bring in one older bird.
yeah. I thought so. His chicks are about 20 days old. So, I told him to get two newly born chicks. will be great if he can manage it. else I have to get one chick from his farm
I don't know if Tanvir mentioned it in this post or not but his cousin raises chickens so he does have a source for information.
What's really fun about this is he wasn't interested in chickens. He built and incubator to see if he can build a large one for his cousin. Now that a peep has hatched he's changed his mind.
Tell me more. What did it say before you used the VPN? I've noticed our spam filter is being really picky about IPs lately. Your static IP might be the issue.
That's the forum doing that. I've seen it on one of the other forums the company owns. The only thing I can think of is that you hit it just right when you used the VPN.
When you have issues if you post them in the Announcements forum those that get a paycheck will see it. The get notices sent. I'm one of those that actually participates on the forum and sees them.
It is normal for there to be bullying at any age, but unless the bullying is drawing blood give it some time and they're likely to become friendly. Most chickens do not like being alone. If the bullying has gotten to the point one is being injured, they need to be separated.
swaping won't work. because the one I brought is not interested in fighting. The one I hatched is too aggressive. If I bring another it will do the same I guess. But right now they are sleeping on each other. Don't know if they made a friendship or just got tired. If they don't stop I guess I have to raise it alone. actually the breed I hatched is kinda aggressive in nature.
Time. Most have to grow a bit before you can tell. Seeing combs at an early age many times points at them being a male. But it's not written in stone either.
Glad to read they're doing better together and that you're not losing your mind with the constant crying of the one.
yeah. A feeder, a waterer and food. They call it starter - 1. Told me to feed starter - 2 after 15 to 30 days. Then grower. That's what they supply in the farms.
If you see a ring around any of the eggs take them out asap, you will kill all of the chicks.
