    Hi guys my little hen has got a severely swollen eye which is watery. Interesting enough she’s eating very active and business as usual laying. The eye however is looking horrid - any suggestions?! I did have a cream legbar seemingly healthy drop dead suddenly she was only 9 months so unsure if...

    My BCM chick foot turning on funny angle

    Hi guys - would any of you know if there’s a way to fix this? It had a curled foot which is now straight but pointing in wrong direction I really don’t want to put it down as it seems healthy otherwise. Any suggestions?

    Can you feather sex BCM?

    Zipped but not hatching - over 24 hours

    I put them in a seperate brooder as they were getting badly picked on and blood was drawn from navel of one chuck. One’s club foot has resolved itself but the other two I had to tape. I’m really hoping for the best. These hair gel babies are not the most attractive one must say. Is this common...

    Zipped but not hatching - over 24 hours

    So they are all out and I’ve given them some water. Two have feet that look like they are all curled up and they are having problems standing. It’s looking more like a positioning thing having been stuck in shell for 2 days more than a defect or so I’m hoping. Anyone has had this previously and...

    Zipped but not hatching - over 24 hours

    Sooooo I ran downstairs this morning and behold! Still in their shells. They definitely looked ready so I peeled all three of them. No remaining blood on membranes, no yolk so definitely were ready. I do think they got stuck as some of their exposed bit was almost glued together by a sticky...

    Zipped but not hatching - over 24 hours

    it’s night time here in Oz so I’ll leave them overnight and make executive decision . They are definitely breathing but the one whose beak you cannot see is definitely some sort of stuck. I had to remove the other 9 chicks as it was getting so crowded and one had been hatched for couple of days...

    Zipped but not hatching - over 24 hours

    Is this normal? I had 9 very healthy black copper maran and aracuana chicks hatch on day 20/21 and these eggs have been zipped but not hatching for past day. They are alive as I can see inside. Some were knocked around by the hatched chicks. I moved them around after removing the chicks as it...
