I don't think it needs a stitch seems like she was scalped in one spot. I don't think any others are going to hatch. Its this mamas 1st round. She stepped on two. Pretty sure one died halfway in incubation, one hatched so far, and am unsure as to the remaining 2. I hear no peeps and see no pips...
Not sure how or what happened. This little one hatched earlier today. I checked on mama and saw this ones head was bleeding. I brought it in and put it in a brooder. I don't really want to take it from mama but was worried about the baby getting hurt. She is alert and running around and the...
Bought an assortment of egg layer pullets (3 white and 3 brown eggers) and I've get this adorable little girl. She is a brown egg layer but I've no idea what breed. She is smaller than the Austra white and orpington chicks. I want given a list of possible breeds so was hoping someone had seen...
No wasnt me. they may be mixes but I have no idea with what. Doesn't really matter though I just wanted the pretty pattern added to my flock. Not really worried about purity.

Yes a hybrid egg layer and I think it was our extended winter that kept her from starting earlier. We had a warm spell then back below freezing then warm then cold until april. I was concerned that maybe she did have malformed repro tract.
Dolly is a Dixie hen who just started laying at about 8 mo old (we had a rough beginning of the year no one has been laying well for a couple months). I've got 3 fairy eggs from her the first two just had egg white in them and they have been aabout 4 days apart this one was only 2 days since...
