    Do you find it hard to eat your eggs???

    I was ok until we just hatched our first batch. I told hubby yesterday, no more eggs for me! LOL! I know it is weird, I just feel like they are undeveloped chicks in there. Even though, our layers (for just the purpose of eggs)have no roo in with them!

    HELP! pROLAPSE/YOLK NOT ABSORBED? WARNING- GRAPHIC PICS

    I was hoping someone could help me. We have a chick whose membranes dried up. After 8 hours of nothing, and a hole big enough for its head to stick out, we intervened and helped. Now we notice this. He's in the bator trying to dry and warm up and is, understandably, weaker than the rest of them...

    Is there anything I can put on a eye injury?

When we tried to integrate her back in it never worked, they kept pecking her eye. We put her with a younger flock and same problem. We put...
