Hello I’m new to hatching chicks (my 1st time ever) I received 3 Easter egger eggs from someone , 3 barred rock, 3 australorp eggs from another person. The 3 barred rock & 3 australorp all hatched day 20-21. Of the 3 EE, 2 failed to develop early (day 7-14) the last one looked promising, but...
@azygous After keeping her in for 3 days and she seems to be acting normal (she finally laid an egg) I’m going to put her back out in the coop and just watch her.
@Eggcessive
This morning her crop was flat, she is eating and drinking. She is inside, she seems to be acting pretty normal now. This morning she was quiet and acting like she was going to lay an egg, but nothing. Her vent is clean and is pulsating from time to time. I did not feel an egg...
I don’t know if anyone is reading this thread but I have a 2 yr old hen that was lethargic about 2 weeks ago I gave my girls (4 hens) some electrolyte water and she seemed fine like and hour later, yesterday evening she was lethargic again so I brought her in for the night. No real signs other...

Hello I’m asking the same kind of question. My girls are @6-7wks and over the past week we have been putting them out for the day and bringing them in at night. I live in southern Pennsylvania, it has been 30-40 night and 30-60 day depending on the day (it’s so up and down this year!) they are...
They have only been in a brooder, no outside still too cold here in southern Pennsylvania. I have given them a little tomato last week. Which I figured was possible cause of diarrhea but wasn’t sure about the ruffled feathers occasionally and if Apple cider vinegar and yogurt were ok to give. I...
