Momma tried to kill him after it fully hatched. I took him in and have him under a heat lamp. Hes is all fluffed out now. I tried to put the chick back after he had fluffed but mamma still wants to hurt him.
She also abandoned 5 growing eggs. I dont have an incubator so I put the eggs under a...
Our hen is hatching her babies and one is hatching outside mama. It is about 69 degrees out side. Do I move it back under mama? I just put a heat lamp in the coop just incase. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
All the chicks came from a different breed. She is a surrogate hen. But if this random new chick survives and grows up I can tell if this is her baby or not.
Nope, she is the only hen with eggs at the moment. It is very weird!
I keep telling my self to let it go and not worry about it. But my brain wont let me, I stayed up all night trying to figure out the logic in it.
I hope he survives, poor thing looks like he has a neck brace on.
With the 7 hatched chicks and the 3 duds. We now have 8 hatched chicks and 3 duds That makes 11!
I am not kidding, the new random chick was in the middle of the coop all cover in yolk by the water bowl! I understand the possibility of a egg rolling away and hatching but how could that be the...
This is all well and makes sense but the math does not add up. My hen went broody on one unfertilized egg. I went to my friends house and got 10 fertilized eggs. I removed the unfertilized egg and placed all 10 fertilized eggs under her. 7 chicks hatched from the 10 eggs, 3 were left and were...
I need everyone to hep us figure out what is going on, its soooo weird.....
Here is what is happening. Our hen sat upon 10 eggs, 7 hatched and 3 did not. This was 3 days ago.
When my daughter and I walked in to check on mama and her babies we were startled to find what looks to be a newly...
I had separated our daddy rooster a few months ago because he was aggressive every time I went to feed them and he was aggressive to the hens. Now that the hens babies are mostly grown we have 4 more rooster adolescents that I want to put in there with him.
We have no need for the extra...
So blocked his view of the hens and now he is totally freaking out! He is making all sorts of sounds I have never heard. Is this normal and will he get used to it?
Hi all, I had to separate my rooster from my hens to create a "bachelor pad" because he as been getting really aggressive. I blocked off the view of his hens and now he is freaking out, he is making all sorts of sounds I have never heard from him before.
Is this normal? Will he stop? Will he...
My hen hatched 4 roosters and I'm not sure what to do with them. I cant find anybody who wants them, we dont plan on eating them.
Can I keep all my roosters happy together in a coop together? Is it possible? I dont want them to kill each other.
Thanks all for the help! I candled them last night anf they all look alive as far as i can tell. Today when we checked we have 2 baby chicks that have hatched!
