    Took keets from mom, bad idea?

    I know I just feel so bad. They are all just so upset. The keets won't stop crying for the hen and the hens won't stop looking for them. I feel like a terrible person.

    Took keets from mom, bad idea?

    My two hens were sitting on 34 eggs. I was really excited to let nature do its thing and let her be the best mom she could be but after reading and reading and reading I started getting scared about the keets just dying off from predators do and being left behind by Mom so at one point I did...

    Accidentally rotated a pipping egg!!!!

    While I totally agree with you The reason that I am keeping some in the incubator and then in a brooder is to limit any loss that I might have. She did not make her nest in an area where I can control the environment a lot and it's in some very thick brush I'm afraid the first time she takes...

    Accidentally rotated a pipping egg!!!!

    Y'all 🤦‍♀️ Tell me I did not mess up too bad! Long story short, I took some of the eggs from under my guinea hen and put them in the incubator if you want to know why I can go into that but to keep things short and simple I started rotating my eggs again because I thought my timing was off...

    Chicken feather issue

    Y'all what is going on with her feathers. I'm seriously concerned I bought an unhealthy batch of adult chickens from a lady who had a really nice set up, let them free range & I thought had healthy chickens but now I'm not so sure. I've had random issue after random issue and now I find my...

    What is in this blood substance in this shell-less egg?!?

    I'm wondering if I've found out what girl it was while this hand acted normal every time I seen her today this evening when I went to check on everybody she was roosting here and instead of her normal roost bar and her vent does have some mess on it.

    What is in this blood substance in this shell-less egg?!?

    Nope. I have no neighbors & am adamant about not using poisons! I'm at a loss. And what is stranger, my flock is still all accounted for and appearing healthy. I really expected to have a dead chicken in the coop this morning or at least an ill one.

    What is in this blood substance in this shell-less egg?!?

    I don't know why I just half of my comment posted but anyways yeah I guess I'll just start the whole flock on some antibiotics to try to fix this and yes definitely seems like a bad batch but thier living environment before seemed ideal. Free range huge run didn't seem over crowded but who knows...
