    Sick broody but eggs are hatching

    Actually I had that thought too about her just getting better on her own. So should I just let them all be? I will try post a picture/video they seem ok other than her sounded terrible. I feel terrible for the babies though. Maybe they won't get it

    Sick broody but eggs are hatching

    Well that's what I am hoping! With the other hen in December I thought it was respiratory so she was put on oxytetracycline, then tylan, then the safeguard and safeguard is what I think worked. She lived on my porch for 2 months. I thought I read somewhere that the hens could have respiratory...

    Sick broody but eggs are hatching

    Ok so this is the first time we had babies hatch! One hatched Sunday and one today and there are 7 more eggs. On Saturday this hen sounded funny, gargly and coughing. I had another hen have some issues back in December with same symptoms and treated her with safeguard (goat wormer) and that...

    Unfortunately, when I brought them home, I noticed the splayed legs right away. I have about 1-2 inches of pine shavings down. I didn't check them very good before I left the store. Although, I thought I did. I had separated the ones with the bad legs pretty quickly as I do have a few standards...

    My husband did help me originally with applying the bandaids. I felt like it was still difficult, their legs are so tiny compared to the standards. Ugh might not buy baby bantams again. I love the bantams but this was terrible!

    The second one died :( Maybe it's too much stress for me messing with them? I know I am stressed! Never had this happen before. I also never had any of this spraddle leg! Maybe it's just a bad batch of birds? I am worried about this 3rd one, I don't want to try bandaids or rubber bands!!! I...
