I have an 8 week old rir & light buff Brahma chick with a broken wing. About 2 hours ago when I went to let them out she was stuck between the coop wall and nesting box, (thankfully mama let me get her out without attacking me) the wing was splayed outwards but she jumped out of my hand and ran...

Update we now have 5 healthy chicks, 1 more just hatched which would make 6 as long as it’s okay. This one had a slight bit of maybe yolk or something still attached and not fully absorbed. I tried to tuck baby back into the shell and put in a cup but it’s not working. So I decided to wait and...

Thank You, & I’m sorry we had a long day yesterday. I did end up helping the baby after moving it to the “hospital brooder” and it was what I thought to long. Baby was positioned not right so thankfully I decided to help and now little chicklet is running around with its siblings.,

One of our baby chicks just hatched and I noticed something hanging out of it. It looks like the chick didn’t absorb all of the yolk or something all the way. With the other 6 that hatched I’ve not seen this. 1 still had the membrane stuck from the shell and I just let that fall off on it’s on...

Update checked on Meeka and found an egg that has pipped and broken some of the shell but not fully zipped around. Looks more like an odd circular shape with membrane still attached. It does kind of look like the membrane is turning a beige/tan color but I can still hear baby chirping in there...

Thank you, I’m trying even if only the 3 survive I’ll be fine with that. And just be better prepared as much as I can if we decide to let her do this again. One chick whom I think I missed 2 nights ago when I checked is doing great pretty sure it’s a day older. Drinking well not really...

awe Thank you and Yes it is. I wish I had been better prepared. I intended to let nature take it course and whatever happened it happened but, I think that was easier said/thought then done. You and so many others who’ve commented and helped I am truly great full and thankful.

I do have a heat lamp but no heated blanket. She is sitting on the rest of the eggs and has been since last night. 2 more have pipped but the 3rd unfortunately didn’t survive. And I currently have the 3 chicks in a makeshift brooder with the heatlamp but I don’t have anything close that could...

Thank you so much for all of this! I checked this morning since I couldn’t sleep all night worrying and number 7 which almost zipped completely was quiet and not moving at all so I unfortunately knew that one was deceased. So what I did was took that one and practiced on it with the How To...

Hello Tookie, nice too meet you as well!

Hi I’m Ashley and I’m from Maryland. I have 3 awesome kids MaKayla, Aubrey, & Michael Jr.. And we have a 11 fur babies ( Dog, Cats & Chickens ) I’m going to say I’m fairly new to chickens since this is my first time caring for my own ladies and roo by myself. I’ve always helped my dad care for...

Can someone please help. I have a broody hen who was determined to sit so we let her. I tried to make sure all eggs were from the same day so they’d hatch at the same time I even marked them with an X. I go to check a few days later and found 6 extra eggs. My daughter apparently added a few...
