    Repairing And Hatching Severely Damaged Eggs--This WORKED!

    Thank you. I’m just about to toss it as today is hatch day and I can’t see any movement other than some definite liquid was moving around. Should I wait a little longer?

    Repairing And Hatching Severely Damaged Eggs--This WORKED!

    I just had my incubator roll and smoosh one pretty badly, day 17-18. I can’t tell if the membrane is in tact but I’m guessing not since one of the fractures has a bit of goo leaking out. Do you think it’s possible to save?

    Young pullet with broken fibula

    Thank you! Yes, I changed the splint today to add some gauze on her skin before the sticks. Maybe in a few days I’ll try the sling. Still feels pretty loose today.

    Young pullet with broken fibula

    We found our sweet little buff Orpington in the coop just laying down. She’s not a layer yet, but more than a few months old. Upon investigation her leg was just dangling. She doesn’t move it, it’s totally limp. She’s also pretty calm about it which is odd. I felt around the leg and it feels...

    Bantam Cochin? What color?

    It did! I had to hand feed it several times a day for a week or so, I think it was a runt. Finally got the hang of it. Look at her now!

    Bantam Cochin? What color?

    And by “some” I mean 18-20 🤣. Ordered them from the same hatchery. I’m a sucker for the bantams!

    Bantam Cochin? What color?

    It’s not very happy I put it down to take its pic again 😁

    Bantam Cochin? What color?

    Do you know what’s terrible? I have some of those right now in the brooder, a little older!! Thought they were less yellow when I got them though. But anything is possible I guess!!

    Bantam Cochin? What color?

    Got this little cutie in a bantam mix from Tractor Supply. Guessing it’s a bantam Cochin, but the color has me wondering what it will be? I was thinking buff or white, but the little booty has some gray. Any ideas?

    Coyote messing up my layers!

    If only I had the time to stalk it from up in a tree 😂

    Coyote messing up my layers!

    Agree! Bastard came up super close to my side gate looking at the goats yesterday and I had to chase it off! Wasn’t too big but awfully brave! I sat outside with a gun for awhile but didn’t see him again.

    Coyote messing up my layers!

    Hello! My girls were in full laying swing the last few weeks here in California and a few days ago, one of my leghorns got snatched up by a brave coyote that’s been hanging around (she got over the fence even after having a wing clipped). I went from 18-21 eggs a day to about 7 very suddenly...

    Baby bantam won’t eat on it’s own

    Poor little thing finally passed. I think I was trying to get her to hold on when maybe she wasn’t meant to :(.

    Baby bantam won’t eat on it’s own

    Oh! And also, during the day I give her her own little space with a heat pad so she can rest without getting trampled. I hold her sometimes also, because she needs to be hand watered and I figure the TLC can’t hurt .

    Baby bantam won’t eat on it’s own

    It’s a large deep bin, with one third dedicated to the heat plate and the other area for play and food and water. There’s about 20 tiny bantams in there right now, and I have another larger brooder I can move some of them to when they get just a little bigger. I really only have them in this one...
