    4.5 month old polish hen - attacking me!? Roo?

    I have a 4 month old polish that has started attaching me. I have NEVER had a hen even peck slightly aggressively in my direction unless it’s broody on her eggs of course. And this thing is chasing me trying to attack and then jumping up and coming at me with its claws! Are polish hard to sex...

    BCM rooster?? 11weeks

    Someone from this bunch keeps trying to crow… I haven’t caught who it is but have heard it from my window about 3 times now. I’m thinking this one could be the only one it could be.

    Hen with sticky saliva on/in beak

    I have had birds that have tried to what looks like kill a bird who was sickly. It must just be in their instincts to kill the weak. Maybe it helps stop the spread of infection? 🤷🏼‍♀️ But yes I always have to separate the weak and sick otherwise they get picked on in a major way. I’m assuming...

    Help please... chick still not out of cracked shell.

    Update: (My eggs were under a broody hen not in an incubator) So after waiting all day for the chick to make more progress it seemed like it got halfway around egg breaking it open that morning and by night time hadn’t done anything more.

    It’s cracked more open and is chirping away and moving in there... I’m going to give it till morning and check in again and will update. Surely by then he/she will be out all the way 🤞🏼.. tomorrow morning will be 24hrs from when I first noticed the holes.

    Does baby need help hatching??

    Yay! Glad she/he made it out! I’m in the same boat with a broody hen. The others are out and this one has looked like this all day. But is moving around in there... I keep wondering if I need to do anything. Ahhh!!! The anticipation is killing me!
