    wry neck/traumatic neck injury- Not broken, but severely contorted after caught in door frame gap.

    How did this resolve? Have a hen with the same symptoms after getting her head caught. Right at the base of her skull too.

    Keeping a watchful and documented eye on a newly born Muscovy clutch

    That teaching is most likely why she still has so many babies still! Great Momma! Hopefully her methods continue to be so successful. Looking forward to your updates on the adorable family 😊

    Hatching- Weird Air Bubble Just Developed

    I've seen that happen as well with my chicken eggs. This one was definitely moving that morning though. My best guess is the car ride had loosened the membrane and it pulled it so it was noticeable while it struggled to hatch. Membrane was tight on the poor baby and visibly drying. I didn't...

    Hatching- Weird Air Bubble Just Developed

    In case anyone else has something like this happen, the duckling was shrink wrapped. I waited too long to make a hole in the air cell to check. It was moving this morning but dead after dinner.

    Hatching- Weird Air Bubble Just Developed

    Seriously, anyone have any idea why it now appears to have 2 separate air cells? It was not like that when the broody gave up on it a couple days ago?

    Hatching- Weird Air Bubble Just Developed

    It's been 4 days since the others hatched, and I have one egg left in an incubator, but the last surviving egg has just developed an air bubble on top of the egg. I can see movement, but there are no internal pips, and it looks like no room left. What is happening? Is this a sign of malposition...

    Turkey hatched with whole yolk attached

    Yikes. Tylan is great, it should help raise the odds significantly, especially that it was started so soon. Hopefully the little one pulls through!

    Turkey hatched with whole yolk attached

    Sounds like a possible yolk infection. Just had a chick hatch this week with a very similar situation, but the yolk was misshapen and had burst, and the green slime was probably from infection. Day 2 after hatch the abdomen was swollen 3-4 times it's normal size and sickly green in spite of...

    What Are They? Mystery "Game" Chicks

    Straight comb, dark grey/slate legs. I guess possible green tinting since #1's photos look greenish, but really not seeing it in person. So, dark grey, with possible greenish tint hiding, but if so much less obvious than my Easter Eggers. The red #2 has much lighter grey legs than the lighter #1...

    What Are They? Mystery "Game" Chicks

    Thank you! You are confirming my suspicion. Any idea what the coloration might be on them? Or is it just a mix color too? Never had cockerels with such mixed colors before, I have to admit they've piqued my curiosity.

    What Are They? Mystery "Game" Chicks

    Got these boys as "Game" chicks locally. Unable to find anything like them with Google, so I'm coming to the experts! What are these boys? I live in rural Florida. "Game" cockerel 1

    What is He?

    This boy came from a farm of mainly Game birds. Any idea what he is or what he'll look like when he's older? Got a red breasted pullet and a red pyle cockerel from the same clutch, the broody/possible mom is a the brown and red hen in the background. Told she was a game hen.

    Nervous- Early Hatch

    JaeG So did my hen, that's why I was worried. I guess they know what they're doing though. All 3 eggs hatched healthy babies in spite of the roller ride. Crazy!

    Nervous- Early Hatch

    I'm going to assume not since we now have 2 healthy babies and the 3rd is pipping. She moved the hatching eggs a good foot from where they started. Why would eggs under a broody hatch out so early? It's only day 18/19, and I marked the eggs and put them under her so I know exactly when...
