    Chicken off balance

    I actually had 2 of my older chickens falling over, off balance etc. It ended up being mites that was causing it. I treated them with a insecticide spay & they gradually got better over the next week or 2.

    It actually came off when I tried to get a better pic. So I guess it wasn’t as attached as I thought. It looks like this now.

    This duckling apparently hatched a bit early. I noticed what looked like the yolk sac that was still absorbing. So I wrapped it in a wet warm cloth & placed it against the side where it’d be less likely for it to kick the rest of the egg shell off, in hopes that it would continue to absorb the...

    Assist or not?

    No, that’s something from the other chick that hatched. The pip is in the right place on the green one further up on the other side & I think it’s progressing nicely.

    Assist or not?

    I haven’t heard a peep from this one, I don’t think. The one beside it is peeping, but I don’t believe this one is.

    Assist or not?

    I haven’t heard any peeping from this one, at least I don’t think I have. The one beside it is peeping fairly loud. And no movement.
