I have a 9 month old ISA brown. Last night we noticed her sitting a lot. We are in Arizona and it’s hot. 106 yesterday and a few weeks ago we had a week of 115 and everyone was fine. We let everyone out and she went out and was pecking around but would t walk far, just sat down and pecked...
No I’m not no one else has any symptoms at all! She’s the only one. Our neighbors all have chickens so I guess it’s not totally shocking? And the more I read the more daunting it is since even vaccinated birds can pass it. 😭
How would she get it without any new birds coming in?! I feel awful for her and have her separated so she doesn’t get picked on... but now she’s all alone and so sad I don’t know what to do!
This is a baby chick from our own flock. No new birds have ever been introduced. We bought all the birds at the same time and this is one of their babies.
When would you help? Easter egger pipped wrong end over 24 hours ago. I pulled the shell yesterday and got her some air. I can see her beak and it’s moving and yawning still. One egg has hatched and a second will be hatched in the next hour... when should I help her more??
So it’s 115° here in Arizona. I check on our chickens and then two hours later went back to a new egg... the egg is HOT. Like hotter than when the hens lay on them. It’s only been a couple hours but are they either needing to continue incubating now or can it cool off?! Or is it ruined?!
