    Chirp Chirp Chirp *sigh*

    I'm new to this but I have five babies. The last one to hatch was quiet and weak in the incubator, so I left him in there a while to recover. As soon as I moved him to the brooder he would. not. stop. peeping! All the other chicks were trying to sit on him and there he was just peeping away so...

    What is this? (photo)

    This is on my newest baby - he hatched a day later than all the rest. It's umbilical cord was attached for a very long time. It eventually dried up and fell off but this is left. He is pooping OK and seems generally well. Thanks in advance

    Trauma and day old chick

    Thank you. I just noticed that the one left behind has a cut above his eye (on the eyelid just above the eyeball). Should I put something on it/bathe it/or leave it alone. It's a tiny bit bloody but dry. He is not opening the eye.

    umbilical cord/yolk sac

    Thank you. It seems to be drying up pretty well on its own. But I will snip it tomorrow of it's still attached.

    umbilical cord/yolk sac

    one of my chicks that hatched this morning has something trailing behind it. I don't think it's an umbilical cord, it's thicker and kind of membraney looking. It's poop is getting caught in it and the other chicks are pecking at it. Should I take him out and quarantine him until it falls off on...

    Trauma and day old chick

    Oh and I don't know if this helps - but the little pretty fluffy one hatched in a different way. Before it hatched it rolled all over the incubator in it's shell, knocking all the other eggs about. It was the first one to hatch. Two of the eggs have hatched almost 2 days later.

    Is this even possible????

    I ordered from a local feed barn and specified sex links. Don't know how much I trust them One of the eggs was a lighter brown than the others. One of the chicks is WAY fluffier/prettier than the others. A couple have little spots of black feathers. The last batch I got that were all light...

    Well, judging by that pic - I have all boys again. I give up! I get so attached to these chicks and i can't keep them Here are my little fluffs. One more hatched just like it - still in the incubator

    Is this even possible????

    I am new to hatching. I wanted to make sure that I hatched some females because we want to keep a couple in our garden, so I ordered some sex links to make sure i could tell the difference. The females were supposed to have red streaks and the males were supposed to be all yellow. I ordered 12...

    please help!!

    Thanks for asking The one attached to his shell is now OK and seems to be strong. The one trapped in the egg had been in so long (approx 30 hours) that when i helped him out, the shell broke off easily and the membrane was tight and dry. When he finally came out, he had a lot of white poop (?)...

    please help!!

    My sex link chicks are in the process of hatching. Three are out successfully, although one seems pretty weak. Another hatched about an hour ago and is dragging the shell around attached to his umbilicus (which seems brown and gunky). Another ahs been trying to hatch for well over 24 hours. It...
