    Whats wrong with this baby??

    This baby hatched over 24 hrs ago, why does it look like this?? It is much smaller than the others, and the others are all fluffy and feathered. This one still looks wet, but it's not. It is very spunky and doesn't seem sick or anything

    Quail seems stuck after unzipping

    HELP ASAP! Hen may have a pneumo

    Ok friends. Now we're to the point where the wound is healing well but there's a lot of necrotic tissue I don't know what to do with. Any ideas short of debridement? Tonight I tried putting some xeroform on it.

    Whats the average hatch rate for chicks?

    What is the average success rate of hatching under a broody momma? We just had our second group hatch, the first clutch we had 6 out of 9 survive hatching, this group had 3 out of 9 (she broke 3 of her eggs). Just wondering what is typical?

    HELP ASAP! Hen may have a pneumo

    Yes, I'm a trauma nurse, but I'm finding chickens can be quite different than humans so I'm learning lol. She seems to be eating well, I try to feed her some snacks (like fly larvae for extra protein) throughout the day just to make sure I physically see her eat something. She isn't pooping...
