    Is this viable or is it a blood ring?

    I stuck it under the hen and we'll see. Its been around 33 celsius outside for the last few days and there's no air conditioning running in that room so I'm not sure exactly but fairly warm.

    Is this viable or is it a blood ring?

    I didnt realize this egg had anything going on with it. There was nothing visable when I collected it a while ago. It's been hot this week and it was left on the counter in the house. Is this a blood ring forming or does it still look viable? The little embryo is still in there and wiggly. Im...

    Bantam cochin hen off balance

    I'll do some Vaseline for now. I may be able to get ivermectin from the farm supply but I dont know if they only sell to registered farms here in Ontario. I will read through the link and see what I can do.

    Bantam cochin hen off balance

    I haven't seen maggots anywhere so far. But the flies are fairly minimal so far this year. Her vent it self was fairly clean it. The poop was more down her feathers but ill be keeping her clean and inside for the forseeable future. I can't be sure if she has laid recently, but I am collecting...

    Bantam cochin hen off balance

    I noticed yesterday that one of my bantam cochin hens isn't doing too well. She's a year ish old. She's off balance and not moving around a lot but alert and not making any in pain noises. We just got rid of her bumble foot, so I've been up close with her for the last few weeks. She seemed fine...

    Bantam Cochin D'uccle cross chicks.

    This was my first time with cross breed chicks. I've only hatched straight D'uccle before I got the Bantam cochins. The rooster is Duccle, and my hens are D'uccle and Bantam cochin. Looking at the combs, it seems to be like all the plain brown birds are hens, and all the white mix are roosters...

    Products like Prid for bumblefoot in Canada

    Hello! I have a hen with bumblefoot that im treating. I saw some articles and videos that mention Prid drawing salve works really well but I can't find any in Canada. I'm not sure it can be purchased here. I'm just wondering if anyone knows something similar I can get in Canada.

    Mother hen attacking other nesting hens

    So I'm not sure this can be helped but here we go. I have two hens with 7 chicks sectioned off in my coop. Theyre coparenting the chicks together I guess. The area they're in isn't very big and I dont want them to get over crowded feeling or too confined plus they can't get out into the run but...

    Should I assist hatch?

    I am trying to but there's not a lot of bantams around me and I'm afraid to put bigger chicks in with him. I'll keep trying though. I had a few people reach out with hatches going on this weekend. For now I carry him around while I'm home.

    Should I assist hatch?

    You all were right. I left it alone and the little guy hatched out just fine. Though he didn't seem happy when he did. Unfortunately the hen did reject him so now he's brooding by himself in my living room.

    Should I assist hatch?

    Ah you're right that makes so much sense. It must have been another one i'd heard. It's definitely still moving in there today. It is possible I got it mixed up with another egg. I will leave it alone for a few more days and then do another candle!

    No veins should I keep incubating?

    I did but silly me used crayon that rubbed off. I learned that lesson. I was afraid to disturb them too much because it was still pretty cold out that week.

    Should I assist hatch?

    I have one egg left out of seven. I had two broody hens and when their chicks hatched they abandoned one nest that had two dudes and this one other egg that seems viable so I put it in the incubator. The last one of the chicks hatched last night it was pretty shrink wrapped after it pipped and...
