    my roo has a neck injury

    to get him to eat I have to rest his chest on my knee and if I hold him up hes able to move his head enough for him to eat. The bite is at the very bottom of the neck, I got a towel underlies neck rn he seems to like it and hes sleeping.

    chick just hatched

    3 more eggs under her but there all a day apart. the mama started sitting on an egg that wasnt hers and the chicken who layed it continued to come back to the box while the mama was on the egg. every day one more egg showed up, does this mean all the chicks will be a day apart?
