    Chicken "sneezing??" and mouth breathing. Help! Urgent!

    Hi team! I have a hen, about a year old. She's the largest in our flock. Not sure of breed, though I suspect Australorp. Her behaviour is generally normal, but she will semi-regularly shake her head and make a strange sort of sound. We thought she was choking at first, coughing? Sneezing? Do...

    HELP! 911! Pipped Small end & Down

    Thanks all for the advice! I ended up removing a little bit of the shell to create a sort of zip line, and the chick was able to get out. It looks like it has a bit of a splayed leg though, so I'll do some research on dealing with that.

    Incubating Ameraucauna eggs

    Hi all, We got 4 Ameraucauna fertilized eggs from a friend who had ordered them. Today is day 7. Candled them, and they all look similar. But they look different from the first time we incubated eggs. Here are a few pics. Sorry. Quality not amazing. Are these ok? Is this normal? Is something...

    Humidity for hatch and Little Giant...

    Hi all! Brand new to the boards. My sons and I are incubating eggs right now. We got a little extra temp and humidity gauge to go with our Little Giant incubator. The humidity from the incubator reads in the high 40%s, and the other one reads 11-12%. Are Little Giants often off? Do I need a...
