I just hatched my first baby today! Mama is still sitting on one more, how long would you wait?

Thank you for your help, I will worm the rest of the flock tomorrow morning, hopefully this was an isolated incident. He felt so bony when I picked him up this morning, poor guy. Had a friend over today who's had...

Thank you so much for the reply. I will do my best and will report back.

Hey, I'm new to logging in but not new to using the forum for the past 5 months that I've had a flock of chickens. I lost one a few months ago very quickly, my large Rhode Island Red hen, and now my barred rock rooster is going downhill quickly too. Not sure the illnesses are related but dang...
