    Dead Hen, no apparent reason?

    I just went out to check on the hens, and found one dead in the hen house. She is about 1 year old, regular Rhode Island Red. She was dead next to the feeder. Her legs and body were stiff, but her neck was still floppy. Should I have her checked somewhere for something? I have never had...

    Please help!Chicks Too big?

    These eggs now are a x between a Polish Crested Rooster and a tiny Silky and a tiny Frizzle. The rooster is fairly big. Does that make a difference in the size of the chick in the egg?

    Please help!Chicks Too big?

    Hello, I am new to the forum, and completely new to incubating. A few days ago I had 5 eggs hatch from the incubator after I took them from a nest the hen had abandoned, so I don't know exactly how many days old they were. Plus, two were Banty eggs I had stuck under her. Anyway, they pipped...
