    Well the egg hatched in the middle of the night. He's ( or she) is very lively and happy! The injured one was doing ok last night and early this morning, but now is very lethargic. edit: The injured guy didn't end up making it sadly.

    Mama kicked her baby out, plus an egg that got crushed but is peeping...

    That was more or less my plan with the injured guy, either that or sleep in the recliner with him in my shirt😆 I know you can use Neosporin on them but all I have is the kind with pain relief, is that ok? Or is it no good for them? We are in Florida, so the air is pretty humid on its own (house...

    So normally we let our hens do the hatching and raising, this mama doesn't seem so great though. Eggs started pipping this morning. We've checked on them periodically throughout the day without much action. Well this evening I went out to check and saw a chick out of the nest face down, I...

    Trouble with babies and other hens

    I had thought about doing that. It wouldn't be able to fit in the coop but I could fit it in the run. I was just concerned that mama would want to get out and be with the flock and wouldn't be able to. Do you think that would be an issue?

    Trouble with babies and other hens

    So we had only one chick just hatch today. Mama seems to be doing a good job but another one of our hens grabbed the chick by it's foot and ran around with it planning to probably eat it? It's the same way she acts when she gets a frog so that's my assumption. I was hoping to be able to just...

    Aggressive rooster and small children, really need some answers asap

    This one was a black copper marans pacing back and forth with his angry little look. But the bantam would make a much better image in my mind 🤣🤣

    It's ok. From what it looks like, this whole thread has gone way off into left field. Hes already been handled. Alive, just to clarify. Just not here.

    Aggressive rooster and small children, really need some answers asap

    Your running with some irrational fear of roosters that I may or may not have or that anyone may or may not have. . When in all reality, the boy was standing there mean mugging me behind his little fence🤣 when I'm trying to come and feed him with my girls standing there, and I'm thinking ...

    Aggressive rooster and small children, really need some answers asap

    Incase anyone is wondering. The rooster problem has already been solved. I will say, to the one mocking the "fear" I think that your interpretation of being afraid to go into the coop and mine may be very different. I've had sweet roos before and this boy was not being one. The reason to that...

    Aggressive rooster and small children, really need some answers asap

    I've had some before that were great. And this was when the children were even younger. They were mostly all boys that were born in our flock. Our first one that was given to us...if I'm remembering correctly, was the first offender. Ultimately I'm going to attempt to trade with the guy for a...
