He was a roo so we had to kill him for the health of the flock.😟

So I had a batch in early August last year. My broody hen incubated them. But about three days after the first egg was peeping she abandoned her nest. Also the egg peeping chick had not piped in those three days, and he was sounding weak. So, I broke a hole into the air cell so he could breath...

I had a top pip once. It was in the current batch I hatched a week ago. She piped then tried to hatch. But she died. I guess she got stuck. Also I had two others die. They got stuck in this wierd flap of skin.

So I just hatched chicks a few days ago. They have been having foamy poops for about two days now. I didn't think it was in issue. Till wish almost got pasty butt. I lost my chick candy corn to it, she died in my hands. But any ways, I added some probiotics to the water. What does it mean when...

So all my eggs hatched yesterday. All of them are doing well. But sero my one day old chick. He hatched yesterday but he won't open his one eye. What do I do to help sero?

Thanks but she died in the egg. Sad but it's true.

Ok background info my eggs are hatching. They are two days early so that's exciting. Ok now to the issue. I have three hatching now, but one piped from the top. The other are normal.

Update on the eggs. I came home and candled them. All eleven are developing nicely. And the incubator smells of firtled eggs. Sorry I still can't spell. So everyone is doing just fine till next week.

Ok I have the wierest chicken for you. My roo hazelnut is like a grumpy two year old. He loves me so much that he crows in my arms and tries to breed with my hand or foot. He does love his cuddles and hugs only form me though. Any one else he will spur. Maybe it has to do with me carring him...

Thanks but she was not a silkie she was a sexlink cross named silky. We hatched her when we did the hatching for fire the third.our last silkie silkie is a hen named Cody.
