    Ameraucana Chick Dying

    I would prefer sugar or molasses water for chicks only because I’ve heard honey can cause botulism

    Ameraucana Chick Dying

    Poultry cell has b vitamins and selenium and can be given directly, added to water, and I’ve added it to the food before as a mash( because they always spilled the water so I felt like I was wasting it) In a pinch sugar water can perk them up quickly too, but that won’t fix the underlying problem.

    What does your Rooster say?

    Yes! It’s so adorable when they do this! Mine always does it in a fresh hay area like hey look this is a great place to lay an egg!

    What does your Rooster say?

    For awhile I could actually tell which crow was which from each of my roos. They are different and I believe the hens know who’s talking when they crow!

    Mystic Onyx Egg Color

    It varies probably, I used to have a pair of mystic onyx and their eggs were about the same shade as my barred rocks/buff orpingtons maybe a bit lighter.

    Indian runner duck having no success hatching babies to term. Late term deaths. 0% survived. Why? Could it be storms and weird weather patterns?

    I think a similar thing happened to my chicken where her eggs stayed too damp and because of that I think they didn’t lose the air they were supposed to and they “drown” in the shell. Them being damp for awhile also could have let an infection in as the other poster mentioned.

    Was she nesting in a dry area?

    Only 1 has hatched and no other pips

    I would keep waiting. My hen hatched one of her babies a full 24 hours before the others started.

    Be sure they have cover to hide in like trees bushes etc. they should have a few options for if they have to scatter.

    Hen severely injured

    I noticed this can just be a sign of fear especially if only one birds does it. So they might have been picking on her for awhile.

    Hen severely injured

    She does look scalped which isn’t uncommon from older hens to young ones especially if they don’t have a mother to protect them. Keep an eye out for any aggression towards other birds.

    HELP! Polish Rooster with Bleeding Blood feather.

    Monitor it. Don’t try to rinse anything until maybe tomorrow so it doesn’t start back up again. He should be fine. If you really want you can use vetricin or saline but I don’t think it’s needed.

    Chicken caught in Rollaway nesting box, mostly frozen. What to do?

    Be sure the heater isn’t pointed straight at her.

    Chicken caught in Rollaway nesting box, mostly frozen. What to do?

    Never dealt with this. Warm blankets or water bottles can help in people, you want to be sure not to heat her too quickly because they can go into shock.
