    My rooster sprained his foot

    I would splint his foot and quarantine him so that he doesn't run around too much. Always keep fresh food and water for him, and you can also give him some milk for more calcium, and some vitamins to keep his body functioning.

    How to manage two roosters?

    We have two roosters, but no hens. Though they fight quite a lot, they are quite evenly matched, so both are plump and healthy at the moment. I would separate the two from the hens, as it works quite well for us.

    How many hens should I put with two roosters?

    Hi all, We have two roosters and five hens . We have two coops, one of which is empty. I'm puzzled at how many hens I should put with my roosters so the two won't fight over the girls. Any advice? Thanks so much!

    Does this look normal or are these eggs in distress?

    I'm not sure about vegetable oil. It's worth a try, though.

    The article MGG posted is very accurate. You can use that. Some substitutes for coconut oil can be ointment, too.

    Does this look normal or are these eggs in distress?

    Not quite yet. You should wait until they start zipping, then help. If they still don't start zipping in ~2 hours at the most, you can ask me or other people of how to help eggs hatch. Good luck!

    Does this look normal or are these eggs in distress?

    I would make sure that you keep the humidity high, like around the 80s. DO NOT open the lid cap, as I had one chick die because of a dried membrane. Just let them do their own thing, unless they have no progress for a little more than an hour. That's the time when you start helping them. They...
