    Puppy gnawed on my chicken's butt

    As it turns out ~ I did use Chlorhexidine on her prior to the Peroxide. I had some antiseptic wash from walgreens, I mixed it with warm water and squirted it all over her raw skin and rear end.

    Puppy gnawed on my chicken's butt

    She seems like she's OK. She's eating and drinking...not really up and around, but I have a towel draped over her back side ~ I've got the chicken cam on and she's been active for about the last 2.5 to 3 hours...I'm trying to stay away from her so she doesn't get stressed out. She has pooped...

    Puppy gnawed on my chicken's butt

    Amazingly, after cleaning, and hydrogen peroxide, she's drinking pedialyte and eating food. My fingers are crossed ~ but it not exactly sure she'll come through this.

    Puppy gnawed on my chicken's butt

    I've cleaned/disinfected the area, and separated her to a safe place with food and water and quiet. Beyond that, what else should I do?

    Crop problem

    1 of my production reds has a crop problem. It's huge - drags the ground almost. She still eats, forages, etc but her crop wags back and forth like a water balloon it's so big. I have 4 others who are normal. Any ideas?

    Mamas picking on babies

    My mama hen is picking on 2 of her 6 chicks. They're about 1 week old - it's not all the time, but it's always the same two. Should I interfere?

    My hen has 2 chicks she hatched, will she take 4 more 5 days later?

    I snuck the 4 babies in right at dusk last night, after shed settled, and so far this morning she's taking care of all of them - looking a bit frazzled by the sudden triple in responsibilities! Did you try putting your lonesome chick in at night after shed settled in?

    2 babies. 6 eggs. Not due til the 8th. What about the 4 other eggs?

    Against all odds, all four hatched! Going to try and sneak them under my mama tonight!

    My hen has 2 chicks she hatched, will she take 4 more 5 days later?

    My hen hatched 2 out of 6 chicks last Sunday - then abandoned the other 4. They're hatching now in my bator, do you think the mama will take them? whats the best way? They won't be as lively as their 5 day older siblings, so I don't know if it will work - chime in with your opinions...

    I've just read so many posts about the membrane drying out or them dying at this point. They've had a hard time of it, and I'd hate to lose them this late in the game.

    Pipped this morning, but no unzipping? Help or wait? HELP!!!

    I had two eggs pip aroun 11am, and one around 1; very little to no progress, although they are still wiggling....is it time to help? I'm a first time hatcher... I need some advice. These eggs have had a very inconsistent incubation. A broody hen sat on them until last sunday, she hatched 2, and...

    2 babies. 6 eggs. Not due til the 8th. What about the 4 other eggs?

    So, I broke down and ran to Tractor Supply and bought a still air incubator $44.95. I didn't need a turner since I'm supposed to hatch today. I was just too worried about maintaining humidity and temperature during the hatch. Yesterday the outside temps here ranged up to 102, and down to the...
