    Help Chick dragging shell around

    And just that fast the shell is now separated, just in time for the next chick to hatch with the same issue, except this time I can see a tiny red line. Sigh, one out of the bowl and one going in.

    Help Chick dragging shell around

    Seems healthy and strong chirping up a storm dragging the shell around. It doesn't appear to have anything else protruding. No excess fluid when it came out of the shell,

    SOS! What do I do! Umbilical cord issue!

    Chick hatched but there seems to be a cord connecting it to the shell and it is dragging it around. I haven't opened the incubator and it is difficult to get a good picture. It doesn't look like anything else is protruding.

    How intense is your pecking order?

    Compare it to teenagers finding out where they fit in in the big scheme of things. From my experience, unless someone is getting injured, it is best to let them work it out. My hen who is the lowest in the pecking order is also the only hen to sit and hatch eggs, so she is respected more now...

Funniest brooder moment: The first batch of chicks we raised in our spare bedroom. Which is where my husband will occasionally go sleep if his back...

    They've been in the run for three days, and the FLIES!!

    While I understand not wanting to cover the grass especially if it does not presently look like the crispy stuff you normally see mid-summer in Texas, with all the rain y'all are getting the flies are happy you have provided a protected spot for them. I would dump a pile of your bedding...

    Rodents nest in my hen house

    My best friend uses the bucket method to catch the rats, except she uses an old fashioned metal garbage can, but the trick is to oil the inside of it. We live in the woods, so making things not attractive to them is the best first step. We use our old upright freezer for the feed, stored no...
