worried

We had a hen go broody and her first three chicks hatched yesterday and today, we just let her stay in the nesting box and that’s where the chicks are hatching. We remove the divider and added extra wood chips and chick food and water, this morning. Just now we checked on her, and her head...

I have a mama chicken who would laid 13 eggs and within the last couple days all of them have hatched. The pen we kept her in my Dad was supposed to make safe for the chicks by covering a hole that separates the top level from the bottom and take out the ladder however he did not do that before...

I recently bought a dozen of Cotunix quail eggs and put them in the incubator. I waited 24 hours and went from there. Half of them ended up being fertile. It's now day 18, almost day 19, and I haven't seen or heard anything. I'm slightly concerned as to why they aren't internally pipping yet...

My duck has been eating cracked corn lately and when he’s done he acts/looks like he’s choking?? Or he can’t get it down?? He doesn’t act like this any other time. Could he be sick? Help! :)

Hello, I currently have 2 chicks under 3 broody hens (they all coparent very nicely and all going well). They are 6 days old. We started with 6 eggs, 4 hatched and 2 chicks died within 24 hours of hatching. I made sure they had everything they needed, mums were keeping them warm, all seemed...

I have two female anacona ducks- both act normal regularly. Today realized one wouldn't run out of their fence when I usually let them out. Maybe broody? I thought. But as I walked in a found a bloody blood clot looking thing. Weird but didn't think too much. She still wouldn't leave and was...

Hi y'all I just wanted to ask a question about my babies. I have 9 beautiful grown 5 week old chicks and today I've noticed something off about majority oh them. They are sleeping so much. When I normally let them out in the morning to eat and play they are so energetic and running all over the...
