    eggs under heat lamp?

    So..... my answer is theoretically, no. However, I always take any eggs from a broody after other chicks have hatched and do this. I have actually had it work. I am in a place with high humidity though, and it only works on the rare occasion. However, if you don't have other options, I would say...

    Swollen around eye and something white is stuck

    No. It does not look like that. It seems like whatever is in the swollen part of her eye is also showing right there so there is no real opening. I just moved to Oklahoma, and have not yet found a vet near me who will work on chickens

    Swollen around eye and something white is stuck

    How do I examine inside the eye? I have tried looking at the white part but I just can't see very well

    Swollen around eye and something white is stuck

    She also is not sneezing or breathing weird at all. She is acting completely normal other than a swollen eye and white where the swelling is

    Swollen around eye and something white is stuck

    I read that and she is in our living room with only her partner. But he has been with her many days and has not got any symptoms at all,l. This made me think that it was something that is not contagious but either some kind of mass or an injury of some sort.

    Swollen around eye and something white is stuck

    So I just received this chicken from someone who didn't want to mess with treating her. At first I really thought it was eye worms; however, I have been treating her with vet rx for several days now and am seeing no improvement at all. I even tried pushing the white stuff out of her eye (like I...

    The 8th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!!!!

    This information helps me so much! I haven't seen this information anywhere in my studies. I have my incubator right next to a window, where the sun shines in and I switched from heater to air conditioner recently. This makes total logical sense to me now that you say it. Thank you so much for...

    If there are any viable chicks, will taking them out to candle them kill them? Also, my biggest issue is that my incubator seems to have a rather large range of temps instead of keeping it constant. It seemed to range from 97-102. Is it worse to have it too high or to have it too low? I'm using...

    No. . Day 23 and no signs at all. No pipping, shaking or peeping. It's looking like I did something wrong. So sad. They looked good before lock down.
