    Egg with no shell?

    Hey y'all! We think one of our girls may have layed an egg. It was in the laying box, but it literally looked like someone cracked an egg in there and took the shell. There was white (clear) and yellow (yolk) but not sure if that was an egg. They are 4 months old (hatch date march 8) we have...

    Going outside

    I have this same question. It's over 80 here in Florida. I keep mine in the garage and turn the lamp off during the day. The youngest chick is about a week old. They are staying as far away from the lamp as they can right now. My reds are almost completely feathered out (about 3 weeks old) I was...

    Sick baby buff 1 week old

    She's started to "throw up" a mucous like clear liquid. Kinda like clear snot. She sounds like she's struggling to breathe. I just put her back in there with the other because I don't trust the heating pad to keep her warm enough. We will see in the morning, but my hopes are not high

    Sick baby buff 1 week old

    Yes they are. She doesn't move to get out of their way. I am already preparing myself for her to not make it through the night. I'll have to get another one before my kids come home tomorrow

    Sick baby buff 1 week old

    On something I read it said to separate her completely in case it's contagious. It's not too hot and not too cold. The light is on one end of the brooder so they can go to the other side and cool off if they want. The reds are a week older. It did get cold last night, but they are in the garage...
