    Is this scaly leg mite? Fire ant bites maybe?

    Her feet are looking much better i checked her all over and i dont see any signa if bugs....or bites. She is missing feathers on the back of her neck....they are growing back in. And half if her breast feathers are missing. But im guessing its just molt.

    It is much larger. But the flock is out in their yard most the day. I havent seen any signs of lice or mites but i wasnt really looking for them either. Tomorrow when i soak her again ill do a good check. Ill take the wraps off too. Although she isnt limping as much with the bandages. Thanks so...

    Unfortunately no i dont. We've been gone the last 9 days. Ugh. She has straw as bedding now. I should take it out? And should i keep her from going out? The little coop inhave is only about 4sqft and its still super hot here.

    @EggSighted4Life Hmm. Maybe there is some hope? She just moved back o into her original nest. Took 2 of the 3 eggs with her. I watched her tuck them under. One I was able to candle first. It had a air sac on the wide end and I saw and felt some movement but haven't seen or heard anything from it...

    OK 😆 thanks. I appreciate that. She's moved off again and is showing her brood how to get water and food. They are eating a drinking. One egg she moved back into the original nest 2 other she left where she had moved to. Being that they have no signs of hatching I will assume they are duds. I...

    I don't really have any Interest in hatching eggs in an incubator. Or taking care of chick's. I've done it but now that I have broodies I'd rather let them handle it. If they don't hatch naturally I'd rather let nature take its course. Thanks for your suggestion though.i do appreciate you taking...

    I put them all under her at the same time. So you are saying they are likely duds? Just want to be clear. I pushed them under her. But if she moves again I'll take them out. Looks like she'll be taking the family out of the broader for a stroll soon. As she moved right by the door.

    I'll.add maybe too.many eggs? This is the biggest I've given a broody. She's welsummer. This is her first time. She's only about 7 months old. The first 2 clutches were 5 and 4 eggs. Also to first time moms

    Today is day 21. Hatch started on day 19 I saw 2 chick's. Day 20 I saw 4. Today she has moved off her nest with the 4 and left 3 eggs. At day 8 I had candlesd them and they all looked the same development wise. I didn't touch them after. I put the remaining eggs to my ear and hear nothing. They...
