Yes! We ended up with 5 chicks from those eggs! All but one happen to be frizzles (we only have frizzle roosters so makes sense) and have since had more chicks hatch from an accident where we forgot to collect the eggs for a while and then were too far into the three week period haha, there is a...

Thank you, unfortunately she didn’t survive but she did get herself out of her shell completely which is good. In the time of her hatching, 2 other chicks hatched. A tortoiseshell (I don’t know if that is what they’re called??) and another yellow/white one. We have never even had a tortoiseshell...

Thank you! How much blood would there be if that happened? We just watched another chick hatch and there looks to be the same amount of blood (this one was entirely unassisted) and the one that was struggling is trying to push his way out now. Could he just be very tired? When we went to bring...

We have had a chicken sitting on eggs for a few weeks and they are now hatching. She kept one chick and stopped sitting on all the other eggs so we have brought them in under a heat lamp. They are doing well now, except for one. He was the coldest but perked up a little after under the warmth...

Thankyou for the reply Her eye is now better and is completely open and acting normal! I hope your chick gets better soon

Thankyou also for the reply She has been on the B-complex for about a week. She has been better today than previous days. We will check out all the sling ideas, Thankyou for suggesting that

Thankyou for the reply, the wormer is ‘Sykes big L wormer for poultry and pigs’ she has definitely been better today than she has been for the last few days so hopefully she just keeps improving. I’m not sure if I’m the video we said this but we have researched and been doing some physio-like...

sorry I forgot to say that she is about 5-6 weeks old

thank you so much for the reply, she has been better today than she has previously. we are giving her a vitamin B-Complex tablet that dissolves in water and mixing that in with her food. the tablet does have riboflavin. the eye that is closed is also on the same side as her shaky leg. we will...

recently we hatched chicks via incubator and also under a mother chicken. Since then we have put them all together in the one pen and there has been no issues. About a week ago one of the chicks wasn’t walking so we took her out and had her in a separate cage. We read that she may have a...

Hi, we checked on it this morning and there was 2 little chicks, one still wet so just hatched! I think we were just being a little impatient and worried as this is our first time using an incubator. Just checked again and another 2 are pipping. Thankyou for your help!

we have a chicken at the moment sitting on eggs but there were too many for her to keep warm so we put some in the incubator. so far we have had two chicks hatch (1 that was already under mama chicken and 1 from the incubator) and they are both healthy and happy. this morning we checked the eggs...
