    Barred Plymouth Rock Chicks

    Are these two week old chicks boys or girls? We honestly don’t have a clue, though their behaviour has been very bold.

    Chicken wheezing

    My mum said his crop is empty, but she can feel something hard and solid.

    Chicken wheezing

    One of our cockerels is wheezing, and his crop is hard. We're thinking he's probably swallowed something that's obstructing his airway. He occasionally looks like he's going to throw something up. He seems to have a reduced appetite as well, and he keeps scratching his face with his foot as if...

    Day 23 and eggs not pipping

    My mum lowered the incubator's humidity to 48-55% (hydrometer and incubator have different readings) for a good few hours while I was asleep for some stupid reason. Early onset dementia, I swear to god. How is this going to affect the eggs? Edit: and apparently she threw away two eggs that were...

    Day 23 and eggs not pipping

    My mum wants to try and put a hole in one of the eggs. I'd assume that's ill-advised? We have experience with hatching eggs, but my mother really isn't the best decision maker.

    Day 23 and eggs not pipping

    We have 9 eggs on lockdown and they haven't even chirped; none of the eggs have moved or started pipping. Admittedly, my mum has been doing all sorts of things (opening the incubator, taking the eggs, moving them, etc) and I'm pretty sure her fiddling's played a part in the chicks not hatching...
