    can you tell if you have a frizzle from day 1 or?

    Do they turn upwards when a frizzle is feathering out ? As I have a few which could be either frizzled or straight feather. Any other indications would be grand. Regards Dr Rob.

    VERY CUTE Roo??? He's a lonely guy (or girl?)

    Hi Michelle, My partner and I think it looks more like a hen as we cannot see any wattles growing under its beak at the back however you have not said how old it is, that may help a little as it maybe a little early to tell. That is our thoughts at this time. Warmest Regards Dr Rob & Sarah.

    hatched a day early and navel is not fully healed

    Hi, Try not to worry too much, the heat should dry it out and it should heal up, the only thing to watch out for is other chicks pecking at it, it is very rare for them to do this but sometimes they can. I am sure everything will be OK. Congratulations on your new Fuzzy Butt ! Regards Dr Rob.

    Need answer ASAP...

    There is a fine line between being over reactionary and being patient, I have had the same thing happen on my last 2 hatches, but on those I intervened only to find out either their yolk sac was not fully absorbed or they had just pipped a little too early and lost a total of 10 chicks Now I...
