I would love an update on your birds! I have recently ordered some and I can not find much online about them. Do you have current pictures? Do you have egg color pics?
I went to put my eggs into lockdown this morning and found that the turner was unplugged already. I investigated what was plugged-in in its place and found that my turner was unplugged a week prior. So my eggs have not been turned the last week of their incubation. What Shouod I expect? I have...
I purchased five chicks from a good breeder. They were one week old when I got them. They are now 6 weeks old. One of the chicks just started having trouble walking. She is dragging her one leg/foot behind her. If I pinch her toe, she yanks it so she feels the foot. She was in the brooder with...
