These 2 are 12 weeks old and hand raised. Dad is a Rhode Island Red and one has an Americauna mom and one has an Olive Egger mom. What are your thoughts, hen or roo? I have a guess but I am too new at this to be sure. Thank you so much!!!

Baby is doing great, thank you for asking. All turned out well thanks to all the advice I received here.

I ended up gently pulling a bit at the hole it made and it unzipped and pushed out. It smelled so bad, poor baby. She was active and yelling at me but it looks like something might be wrong with her leg. Hard to tell since it just hatched. It was stuck in that position for a long time, we...

I am paranoid because my other chick died trying to hatch, I apologize for asking even after reading all the similar posts. This baby has been like this for about 7 hours. It snoozes on and off and chirps plenty. I can see the beak moving, but it seems to just be poking it's beak out not...

It started bleeding, do I need to worry about infection? It seems a bit smaller now and not nearly as red. We moved her away from the other eggs and cleaned the incubator. She now in a make shift brooder with a heat lamp.

Help, we had a chick just hatch in the incubator. It has a large red bulb possibly coming from vent or navel?? I am not sure. I have read several post regarding the yolk sac but then saw some about the intestines being outside. Can you tell by my photos what it is and how I can help? Thank you!
