I'm currently using the Nurture Right 360 and hatched my first chicken eggs with a 25% hatch rate (hatching eggs were local)...

    High altitude hatching advice

    I live at 10,000ft in Colorado and am hatching my first batch of chicken eggs sourced locally. Things inside the eggs were looking good at day 7 but at day 12 it looks like most embryos stopped growing. I’m using a nurture right 360 incubator running at about 100 degrees and 50-52% humidity...

    Soft egg continuously breaking

    Hello! I'm stumped and could use some help/advice. I have a 1yr 4mo old sex link chicken laying soft eggs that break almost daily when another chicken goes into the nesting box to lay. The nest box hay gets wet and the other chickens end up eating the egg. She is fed Purina Layena crumbles with...

    Sick chicken pooped out something weird, what is it?

    She’s outside sunbathing right now :) I let the other chickens out to free range and a few of them fought her and drew some blood in her comb. She held her own and then I put the others away. I had another sick chicken that I had to isolate and eventually put down and they didn’t fight her like...

    Sick chicken pooped out something weird, what is it?

    Update: she’s still in the house and no egg for days. She seems to be acting normal, eating and drinking but her butt feathers (see photo) are still puffed up and she’s pooping runny, greenish poops. Going to start baytril today. I’m attaching a pic of her recent poop to see if it leads to any...

    Sick chicken pooped out something weird, what is it?

    I don’t have an avian vet nearby, I have some baytril antibiotics, I’m wondering if that would help although I’ve read eggs from a chickens given baytril shouldn’t be eaten ever again.

    Help! Egg yolk looking poop.

    Final Update: my chicken never got better after all the treatments so I ended up putting her down. She was so skinny I didn’t want to see her suffer.

    Sick chicken pooped out something weird, what is it?

    One of my buff ops, 9mo old, has been looking sick, not moving too much, puffed up, tail feathers down. I thought maybe egg bound so I brought her inside and have been doing magnesium baths. She’s been pooping runnyish poops and eating and drinking small amounts. This morning I found this in her...
