Hello everyone! 💕
I haven't posted on been on here in a good while, but today I came across something that has me stumped. I have a large run that I clean up each morning. As I was scooping chicken poop I noticed one had a tinge of blood and had a pink mass inside it. Being a bit...
If it's little chicken's navel, it could possibly shrivel up and fall off. That is being optimistic. I have read of infections of the navel too. Again, though, I have never experienced this personally. I hope someone responds to help soon. Poor baby.
If it's coming from her vent it could be...
We bought a kiddie pool the first summer we had chickens, they were terrified of it, wouldn't go within 10 feet of it...... Hmmm, Or maybe they just hated the color pink that it was... :idunno

This makes my heart so happy for you (and little chickies)! They look so sweet. Your preparedness on their late arrival will surely play a part in them thriving. They are probably so happy to see the light of day, finally! Good luck and congrats with your new babies. ❤
Absolutely precious! You'll love the temperament of your buff babies. Mine follows me around the yard and always by my side when I'm out there. Polish are such quirky little things, you'll love them! Too much fun! Congrats on being a new chicken mama! ❤❤
Love all you have going on! Sounds like we have very similar set ups aside from location. Love you have little rescue mice❤ I just had a four rescue cottontail bunny babies whose mother was taken by a hawk, Kindred spirits! Wonderful to have a similar newbie to BYC!
