    New chick has eye issue; not formed right?

    The chick is doing great! I put warm compresses on her eye (warm water on a paper towel) for a couple of days. I think she must have gotten scratched at some point before we got her. There was crusty stuff (some of which I originally thought was skin/eyelid) that was keeping her from being able...

    Chirping but no pip, problem or not? **UDATE* I have 3 chick

    Thought I would give an update even though it's late. The egg I was waiting on pipped 1/7 and hatched on 1/8 (Day 23)!

    New chick has eye issue; not formed right?

    So, quick update... When I took the pictures, I noticed that it looked like some of the crusty stuff had come off and the chick wasn't scratching as much. I put a warm compress on the eye and it can open more and closes completely now. I'm hoping it will look better in the morning.

    New chick has eye issue; not formed right?

    I just picked up some chicks from a local hatchery. After getting them home, I noticed that one of the black sex link chicks (about 2 weeks old) has an eye issue. It looks as though the eyelid didn't form completely. It blinks using its third eyelid. The eyeball looks to be the right size, but...

    Slide in truck bed camper coop (picture heavy!)

    Thanks for the feedback! In the state it is in, I just have to remove the screws holding the run on (maybe 20 or so) to make it mobile. Most of the pvc pipe has duct tape (scrunched up) to crate a textured surface for them to grab on to. I would like to get something better though. I put on...

    Slide in truck bed camper coop (picture heavy!)

    When I was trying to design my coop, I decided to use an old truck bed camper that I had. In my search for examples, i found quite a few descriptions of how people had converted truck bed campers into coops, but I had a hard time finding pictures of them. I'm a very visual person, so I thought I...

    Clucking in Sunnyside

    Hi everyone! I've been prowling ann getting information off this site for quite a while, so I thought I ought to join and introduce myself. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I got my first chickens about a year ago, so I still consider myself a newbie. (2)...

    Chirping but no pip, problem or not? **UDATE* I have 3 chick

    I know this thread hasn't been updated for a while, but I wanted to thank you all for posting on it. I'm hatching my first batch in a homemade incubator. I had some issues with temperature regulation and lost 9 out of 10 eggs. The one egg that's made it to day 20 has been wiggling for the last...
