    First assisted hatching on cracked egg, she’s out, questions

    Hi, I hate to bug but having trouble finding some info. Thanks so much for the two guides on hatching (sally’s and can’t remember the other) without those I would have hurt this poor girl. On Thurs brought in an open egg that mama had cracked. It was pretty open, big ole hole. Followed the...

    Chick still alive in egg, what should I do?

    Very new to having a rooster, one chick hatched yesterday and mama stayed on the nest but two didn’t make it as well as one that didn’t make it this morning. Mama’s left the nest now and so has baby, they’re sitting in a corner of the run. I have one egg that is cracked and the chick is still...

    Attention Boston Terrier Owners!!

    Mine will absolutely murder them. I don't think he necessarily wants to kill them, but he treats them like his toys which he utterly destroys.

    Wild turkey pullets? Turkey vultures?

    We were walking our dogs and saw these four birds sitting near the side of the road (quiet, semi-rural). They seemed tame. I came back with some chick food and water and they were closer to the road so I walked back to where they were earlier and called to them and they came over to me. Crazy...

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Correction to that last post, they have been on tylan and doxycycline, not omeprazole, apologies. Everyone continues to improve. :-)

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Auburn finally has a preliminary diagnosis from the necropsy of infectious coryza, which is slightly confusing as no one has swollen eyes or face and this seemed like a GI situation rather than respiratory. They also said she had tumors on/in every organ of her body, poor girl. Good news is...

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Thank you for your kind words. Here is what I know so far: the vet sent her to Auburn for the necropsy so no word yet, and 3 stool samples from hen #2 turned up no cocci or worms (although I imagine maybe if the worms weren't shedding they may not show up in a stool sample?) Tonight we are...

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Teila, her crop was not empty but it was significantly more empty than last night. With her not seeming to be passing much I took that as a good sign. Focusing on a small amount of baby food carrots with some Greek yogurt and probiotics, but mostly water, for today. 2 questions for you experts...

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Update: Lil girl is much more alert and spry today. Still no poops on the towel though. The vet called for an update, said bring her back in, we agreed it is probably a parasite issue. She gave me enough wormer for the flock, as well as two more doses of the antibiotics, and showed me how and...

    Egg bound? Please help (update: not egg bound)

    Thank you, I'll wait until tomorrow. I plan on worming the flock tomorrow using Valbazen. I've never wormed before and the oldest are 2 1/2 yrs old. Theory being that since it's been so wet and still warm here lately, and with two chickens seeming ill, worms could be the issue. Would the Epsom...
