In NEED of ADVICE

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 

we've had chickens for about 2 months now. we were given some & bought some from a chicken auction. my question is that we have incubated 25 eggs, 9 have hatched and are doing just fine. Now there's 3 more that just hatched and one of them has a red-ball hanging from its vent. None of the others were like this! WHAT DO I DO, OR WHAT NOT TO DO?!?!?

Sounds like unabsorbed yolk. It will absorb and be fine.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Owning chickens is full of scary stuff! But you will get thru it. Good luck with your new babies!
