    Broody hen keeps getting up

    Hi there! I have a Cochin hen that is broody. This is my first time with a broody hen. She had about 10 eggs under her when she just switched nesting boxes after two days. I just put the eggs back under her and we are 7 days in now. Today is the second time I’ve seen her up from them running...

    Eggs not moving

    I’m on day 22 incubation. My eggs were very actively moving yesterday and now there is no movement and no pipping. Should I be concerned. What would make 10 eggs perish at the final stage? I did have one chick die and appeared to have died attempting to hatch yesterday. It leaked a green liquid...

    I'm terribly sorry for your loss. As far as your chicken with the sour crop I have no experience in this. I have read to put apple cider vinegar in her water because it helps breakdown the contents and slowly massage the crop to help pass the content....but truly I have no first hand experience...

    Thanks for the help! I do have an alternate place that I move them to as they outgrow this space. I'll try some pedialyte and hope for the best.

    I have pedialyte so I'll try that. I've attached a photo of my brooder set up. The others seem fine. Water is fresh daily...sometimes multiple times...and pine shavings are changed every couple days. The all seem to move freely around eating and drinking and then sleeping under the lamp so I...

    poor baby was fine last night but now this is happening. She falls over and cant get up....also she doesn't open her eyes at all. Has been eating 18% protein medicated starter, no treats and fresh water. She is vaccinated for Merricks. I know that's not full proof but worth mentioning. It won't...

    What's Up With These Butts????

    Thanks so much for the response. I have decided to put the treats up to more closely monitor the kiddos. There is no odor coming from them. On a warm day I'm going to bath them and see if they stay clean after getting them cleaned up. Hopefully nothing is wrong with them.
