    Broody Hen Thread!

    What is the best way to introduce eggs to a broody? I just received 6 Sillkie eggs for my very broody hen. Can I give them to her now or should I wait until nightfall? Anything else I should be aware of? This is my first time doing this. Thanks for any and all advice!

    My 11-month old cockerel, Elvis (my avatar), is having issues with his balance. I examined him and he seems to be normal and in good shape.

    How to t feed a sick chicken and give subcutaneous fluid

    I really appreciate that. I have a 4 month old Silkie that I'm treating. He's eating and drinking but I don't think he's getting enough nourishment. He's losing weight so I want to give him extra nutrition by tube feeding some Exact baby formula and electrolytes.

    I'm so excited for you! I know Icelynn is your special girl. My very first chick hatched yesterday too. They could be sisters! She's all dry and fluffed out this morning. Is it normal for the ends of their little toes to be pink instead of black? Will they turn dark as the chick ages?
