    2 broodys in the same coop?

    Tonight I found THREE IN THE SAME NEST BOX. Yes, I made the nest box bigger and 2 are bantam cochins.. but still.. 3 hens.. the 2 bantams have been doing this a month but the austrolorpe was a surprise.

    Hands on hatching and help

    I have one that should hatched Wednesday under a broody. She ate the hatchmate, so I took this one out and put it in the incubator. It had pipped internally but was shrink wrapped pretty bad. I eventually helped it hatch this morning. It still had yolk to absorb, which it did. Now I'm noticing...

    Broody ate her baby :(

    I had wire over the front of her box but she and her sister were both sitting on same nest. One of the 2 of them must have done it. Thanks.

    What is this on my chick??

    I would guess the yolk sac didn't absorb. I have 1 like that right now and I don't think mine is going to absorb it or live. Yours looks to be walking... I had a small one that dried up and fell off but yours is huge.

    Chicks intestines are coming out

    I had one that looked the same as the first. It was yolk sac that had not absorbed. I put plain antibiotic ointment on it and the chick was fine.

    Broody ate her baby :(

    I can't see any other way. Half the shell is there, but no baby anywhere at all. She only had 1 other egg so I took it and put it in the incubator. Very sad..

    killer was jerk ignore babies through holes has started climbing over

    I put boards 2 feet tall around the pen to keep this thing from jerking babies through the holes in the poultry netting. If it couldn't jury the whole body through, it just ate the head. Now it started going over the top of the 5 ft poultry net. What could this be? I have lost probably 25 young...

    1st time broody trampled 1 egg

    Update, she as 1 fluffy puff ball moving around her in the nest and one egg under her that I can't tell much about. There were several other eggs that I slipped under her when she went broody but they weren't fertile so I pulled them at 10 days. Today was hatch day, so the last eggs still might...

    Hands on hatching and help

    I stayed up with it till after 2 am and it hatched probably some time shortly after that. I got up around 7 and it was walking around dragging the shell so it looked like the shell might have been pulling it making it worse. If I could post pics I would but trying to add them is not working for...
