Definitely! Thank you so much

Hello! Thank you for the advice! I had a broody hen who was laying on about 8 eggs, but this little guy and two others were behind the rest and momma got up and left to care for the ones who had already hatched, so I had to buy a last minute incubator at tractors supply :( The only one in my...

Haven’t posted here in a while, but I haven’t seen this before with any of my past experiences. This little one started hatching early this morning and was out of their egg by this afternoon, but it seems to have trouble walking and keeps splaying its legs like this. Is he just getting used to...

i have not, not yet. and thank you :)

those are the light sussex and rir cross correct? i've heard good things about the,
