I also read about pine shavings causing this issue, they were on pine shavings when I transferred them out of the incubator.. I have towels down now but didn’t have any paper towels when they hatched. Is this impaction? Their crops feel fine.
So I hatched a LOT of keets I had 50 eggs but only about 30 ish hatched. My entire incubation process was messed up and they hatched early somehow (still in turner) I was able to intervene and help but the humidity was so off and it was a nightmare.. I was so upset with myself because I’ve never...
Sorry for the late response, she ended up passing a few hours later. I believe her lung was slightly punctured not just the air sacs. She seemed like she would maybe recover but then quickly declined within a couple minutes and died. I am rewiring sections of my coop just to close the small...
It’s almost impossible but I’m assuming it had to of pulled them through the wire 😭 which means they went through a 2inch gap which that alone makes no sense, I’m just lost for how this is possible, it also all occurred within 10 min it just makes no sense, I was convinced those chicks must have...
Thank you so much! I actually am a bird lover so I understand hawks pretty well, I’m working towards getting my apprenticeship in falconry, this one hawk tho just struck a nerve because I’ve never had them kill for fun and I have no idea how it managed to get them… they are in a very very secure...
Sorry my typing is confusing I’m just upset, I don’t need advice on what to do with the hawk but what can I do for this little baby😭 I’m just mad the hawk isn’t even eating them
I woke up to a the worst, a hawk killed my favorite baby chick and injured another 😭 (why do the most friendly sweethearts always die) anyway, the survivor is not in good shape im not even sure how she survived as she’s in worse shape then the one who died. What can I do I’m afraid one of the...
Thank you for tagging it I still don’t know how to use this forum properly lol. But do you have any advice? I also interestingly put those pictures into ChatGBT just to see what AI had to say and it voted that it was most likely splay leg based on the images but I’m still not fully convinced...
Hi I already made one post about this but I’m just really upset for this chick :( look at these pictures and please tell me if it looks like slipped tendon or splay leg to you. I have no experience with slipped tendon so I can’t tell, it looks fine to me? I don’t even know, I can convince myself...
Hi curious if you have an update on this? My little chick is just going through it and wanted to read more about other people’s experiences with it.. I don’t even know if my chick has slipped tendon but I’m 90% sure
I kind of think I see it but her feather make it slightly more tricky.. I have to be up in 5 hours to take my sister to airport but I’m going to make that box and attempt to fix it.. I took her out of the boot and hobble thing because I feel like if it is slipped tendon that will not help her...
Hi everyone I just rescued a chick from a farm store that they weren’t selling because of crooked toe and splayed leg, they gave her to me for free!! But this is a little more extensive then my previous experience— let me just say I’ve hatched chicks with this and they recovered well but I also...
