    Help diagnosing hen who can’t walk

    I don’t know when she last laid because I have 13 laying hens in one coop/run. I also don’t know about the droppings for the same reason. I never have dewormed any of my flock. I’ve had mites in the past in the coop but no evidence of any now. I just went out to check on her and she’s dead.

    “Chicken Hatching Experiment”

    They weren't all laid on the same day but they were collected and put under the broody all at once. We had six hatch today!!!!!! There are 3 more eggs that could be viable, based on when we candled them about four days ago. So who knows, we might get a few more tomorrow. So far she seems like...
