    Does this bantam egg have a chance to hatch?

    I have a small tradition to hatch my hen's last egg if they get killed. Just a way to keep part of them around. We sadly had a raccoon get to some of our birds. My one bantam hen was one of the ones killed, but i dont have any bantam roosters. I have 2 regular sized rosters and 1 young rooster...

    HELP!!! Baby chick with a crazy swollen eye!

    Update She's started opening that eye a little more often. (She always closes it when I pick her up because she knows eye drops are coming, lol) Her eye is clearly blind, but I have some hope now that she'll at least get to keep the eye. The swelling has gone down a little, but not to much yet...

    Aspirated or something else?

    It sounds like your doing everything you can, if her crop is still full from the day before is sounds like her body has stopped excepting nutrition. To me it sounds like her body is giving up on her. I would keep doing what your doing for a day or 2, but if her crop doesn't empty, there's really...

    Chicken with ripped open comb

    Do you have a rooster? Sometimes if a rooster has a favorite hen they can end up in pretty bad conditions, I recently had to re-home my roosters favorite hen. If you don't, is she low on the pecking order? I could see a few mean hens doing that to. Or if she got into a dominence fight.with a...

    HELP!!! Baby chick with a crazy swollen eye!

    Little update. I've been cleaning the eye, putting eye drops in the eye, and putting Vaseline on the eye every 4 hours. She's started trying to open her eye every now and then, it's still swollen so she can't really, but she's trying. The white dots on her eye have started coming off when I...

    HELP!!! Baby chick with a crazy swollen eye!

    I'm not going to remove it, I'm just worried that it might get to a point where I need to, or the eye pops out on its own and I need to do something for that.

    HELP!!! Baby chick with a crazy swollen eye!

    A friend gave me this chick because she didn't know what to do and knew I fix up my birds when they're sick. It has a super swollen eye. It can't open the eye and is constantly crying. I don't really know what to do, I've never dealt with anything like this. One of my cats had an eye infection a...

    Heavy panting and droopy tail

    The biggest thing I suggest is trying to get electrolytes in her. Her comb looks a little purple like she's not getting enough oxygen, I suggest listening to her breathing to see if her lungs are crackling, if they are she might have a respiratory infection of some kind. If she an infection...

    Wry neck? How to treat?

    I had a duck and hen go broody about a week apart and both ended up quitting so I had to finish they're eggs in the incubator. This chick hatched about 8 hours ago followed by a duckling. I'm worried she might have wry neck. I've never delt with a chick with wry neck before and am wondering what...
