I don’t have a rooster but my eggs look like they are fertile?!??

UPDATE. She perked up as the sun set. She made it quite clear she did not want to be in the house or in a box. Took her out to the coop with her sisters and this morning she was already in the nesting box, back to usual egg business. Yeah!!!

Thanks everyone. Got her dried best I could, on low, and she still tried to crawl away. Looks like her left leg is definitely injured or still cold. I have her in a dry towel here with me.

Found my chicken in the water. She is cold. Shivering. I rinsed her in lukewarm water and have her in the house, wrapped in a towel. What else can or should I do? Temps today were in the 30s ans went up to 50s. Not sure how long she was in the water but for sure several hours.

I have tylan200. It’s al the feedstore had. My paramedic husband is converting it now so I can give it to her. Thanks y’all for all your advise.

Empty crop. No swelling anywhere. Skinny.

I guess I learn best under pressure...my first ever YouTube video!!

What is wrong with Red?!!? I tried to take a video, it won’t allow me to load it. She’s basically gasping for air. Kinda like agonal breathing but she’s still active and alive. Sounds like bronchitis but no discharge from eyes or beak. She’s 5 years old. She has been staying in the coop...

I somehow need to turn this into a coop and run. I don't even know where to begin.

I’m guessing they are roosters for sure then?

Updates pictures of my wildlings

She looks like my psycho chicken. Super skiddish and flighty. Great layer and great momma of equally super skiddish and flighty baby chicks.

Dad is a bantam

Not sure. My chickens sit on each other’s eggs. I have gold black and blue Wyandotte’s, a Rhode Island, and a Barred Rock.

girl or boy? Breed?
