    Deciding weather to assist a chick

    Deciding weather to assist a chick

    So I am on day 23 of my small batch of eggs, 1 has hatched perfectly! The other stopped moving and peeping yesterday, so after seeing that it hadn't pipped yet I pulled it out to candle and noticed that it isn't positioned like most are, but it was still peeping! so I searched for a picture...

    Hi! So we went out of town for the weekend and had to put the sick hen back in the big coop so she had plenty of food and water while we were gone. I was happy to see all of our girls excited to see us home (I always fear seeing dead hens when we get back). But our sick hen Cinnamon is still...

    ALABAMA!!

    Thank you for asking the questions because I just don't know about this stuff. And yes we get eggs from her regularly :) I have isolated her and she seems to be acting fine now but I still have her separated. Her poop looks normal to me. We have never wormed her (didn't know we needed to)...

    I thought she might lay an egg but never did, she did eat one that was in the nest box, not unusual I know but we haven't had a problem with that yet. I haven't seen her poop yet but will try to get a check on that.

    My husband wants to get some guineas because they eat bugs not plants. Can anyone tell me more about guineas and if its true. I do a big garden and and like my birds to free range but don't want them to eat my garden.

    Can you eat fertile eggs?

    What is the difference in the 2 eggs above? We have 5 hens and they all have that spot on them. We have been thinking they are fertilized but we don't have a Roo, so it has been a mystery.

    Hi! We are native Georgians, who have just bought our second home in Fruithurst AL. After we get our place set up and established we will be looking for birds to put out there. We want some guineas for sure. And a Rooster or 2 we can't have them where we live in GA. I am very partial to...

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    Well, we know he's a rooster, we heard him crow for the first time. He's not loud yet but once he is, he will need a new home :(

    YO GEORGIANS! :)

    What is up with the crazy claw? We have deduced that this is probably a rooster, but this isn't a spur so what is it??
