    Oh thank you so much! Yes to all! I’ll try to open one of her eggs to see if fertile. Will be getting some fake eggs to use instead of her old ones. Really appreciate the advice! Thank you!

    Loose, Smelly Chick Stools

    Thanks all! @thecrumbler I did give a fluffy, crusty butt bath to one of them. She seemed to fare well and definitely happier being cleaned up. Don't blame her! Thanks again!

    Loose, Smelly Chick Stools

    @thecrumbler Thank you so much for your response! They are definitely perky and eating and drinking. I'll look for it to clear. Sincere appreciation, TJ
