Hi cajuncluck! I just now saw this, and I hope your hens are doing better. My quail is. I've been putting Neosporin on her wound. I wanted to use blu-kote, but mine is in a spray, and I was afraid I would get it in her eyes. I have the same problem with roosters that you do- too many, and no one...

Do you have a picture you can post?

I have a quail that happened to. I was gone during the weekend when it happened. My husband pulled it from the flock, and gave it food and water. The next day he put Neosporin on the exposed skin. She is eating and drinking fine, but I, like you need to know what to do next. I'm thinking sutures.

Hi Everyone! I wanted to thank you all for helping me! I have a healthy little chick! Last night, I went to candle the eggs, and picked it up and put it to the light and it peeped! and I looked at the shell, and it had pipped! I was so excited! I couldn't get the temp/humidity in the aquarium...

Hi Miranda, This has really helped! I have found pics, and after candling again, I do not see any signs of pipping yet. And I don't hear anything either. But it is moving around, and responding to my voice. My hygrometer should be here tomorrow, and I should have the aquarium ready! Thank you...

Hi Miranda, I'm working on controlling the humidity in the aquarium. I have to get a hygrometer or moisture reader. I believe that I have a couple of days before lockdown. Wish me luck!

Hi Cynthia! Thank you for the warm welcome and the tips! I really hope this works because I miss my babies :)

Hi Pyotr! I am hoping that I will be able to catch the one that is to start hatching soon and get it out and up the humidity so it hatches ok. I have one egg I took out today that I know is not fertilized. Thank you for responding! I will post again when something hatches. :)

Hi all! I hope I can get some guidance on this. I had 6 bantams, two were sitting on eggs, and I had several eggs in the fridge from some others. One night, a raccoon came in and slaughtered all my chickens, except for the one hen that had actually hatched two eggs (she was in another place)...
