    When do Easter Eggers start laying?

    I haven't had chickens for more than a few years but the EE I have are the MOST finicky when it comes to egg laying. I got them from a friend down the road and they were already laying eggs, so he said. Which they did lay the first day but after that it was like 3 months before they finally...

    Something is Wrong!!

    Still going. Looking a ton better this afternoon. Haven't had a chance to see if it is eating or drinking yet but definitely doing better. Thanks everyone for your advice. :-)

    Something is Wrong!!

    It survived the night and seems better this morning. I see that it has finally pooped and looks as though it's finally getting some rest. Last night the little thing was having a hard time relaxing. It would fall asleep standing up. This morning it's finally laying down like a normal little...

    Anyone doctored a chicken taken by a coyote?

    Awwww.... so sorry. Sounds like she left this world feeling safe and warm. Just the way any living creature would want to leave.

    Something is Wrong!!

    Is that one of those things where there's nothing more I can do but sit back and wait? Such a bummer if it doesn't make it because I finally thought I did everything right for a chick that wasn't ready to hatch.

    Something is Wrong!!

    I have a chick that is technically not even a day old yet. (It's shell was pecked open by another hen before it was ready.) Anyways, it finally came out of the shell completely today. Seemed okay, put it in brooder and all was fine. I screwed up though, and put pine shavings in for bedding...

    My chickens reaction to the eclipse

    That's funny. We only had a partial eclipse here and my chickens seemed to care less. Quite boring really. Well according to the chickens anyways. Lol

    What Is going on with this chick

    I don't know then. Surely someone will have an idea if something is really wrong. If not, and it continues into adulthood, it will make for a great ice breaker. I have a rooster that I hatched last year and I never noticed until this summer, that he doesn't run like a normal chicken would. He...

    Crooked toes !!

    I had a couple of chicks hatch out with crooked toes the first time I incubated. I used band-aids and cut the pad off, leaving 2 sticky ends. I took one end and placed the chicks foot on it making sure to get the toes as straight as I could, then placed the other sticky piece on top of the...

    What Is going on with this chick

    Yes it worked. That is odd. Lol! I'm assuming you checked it's feet to see if anything was stuck to them or something between toes? I agree that if it's eating, drinking and otherwise acting fine, then don't worry too much. It's very young and still learning. :-)

    Hatched too soon...

    Thank you! I was hoping to hear that and not something negative. I was pretty proud of myself. Lol!! Although there was a point where I thought maybe I should break out my incubator just so it could keep a fairly steady temp while I was at work but it kept cutting out on me when I incubated...

    Hatched too soon...

    I just wanted to share my last minute, did it myself, incubator. I really didn't feel like getting out my large incubator and firing it up so I crafted one out of an old ice cream bucket. It had pretty much everything my other one did, minus the fan. I used a camera tripod and hooked my...
