    Bumblefoot in week old chick?

    Again, she is eating, drinking and behaving normally. No noticeable weight loss, normal poop, etc. The frustrating part is that all of the possible issues I've researched have the same symptoms. It's like I'm going to have to "wait and see" and let it get worse before I can figure out what to...

    Bumblefoot in week old chick?

    Honestly, I'm not sure of the exact temprature right now. Our thermometer died the other day so I've just been monitoring their behavior and letting them show me if they're too hot or cold. No issues so far, everyone is active, eating and drinking well and sleeping comfortably.

    Bumblefoot in week old chick?

    Here is the bottom of her foot. I thought I saw a black spot, but with her being a BSL, I think it's just the mixed coloration of her yellow and black legs. She's got the same swelling and redness (smaller in size) on her other foot as well in the same spot -between her inside and middle toes-...

    Power outage during lockdown

    Just got home from work and checked the eggs. One that had pipped was starting to unzip! I could also hear it peeping away! I guess there is hope after all!!!

    Power outage during lockdown

    Thank you for the encouraging words! I'm glad everything turned out well for you. Did they hatch on time? Again, today will be 22 and 20 for these eggs, so I'm wondering what kind of delay in time this situation will cause?

    Power outage during lockdown

    Yesterday was day 21 in lockdown for a few of our eggs, and day 19 for others. We've succesfully hatched eggs with staggered incubation periods before, and because all of these were going into lockdown within the same week, I have not been worried about anything. I checked the temp and humudity...

    Did I confuse my chickens?

    Hi all. Our hens are ~17 and 18wks old. They just started laying last week. Out of the five that we have, three of them were laying an egg a day pretty consistently, and always in the nesting box. When we realized that two of them were getting aggressive over one specific box, we decided to...

    So glad to be here!

    Hi all! I've been snooping around, reading a lot of different threads and posts and finally decided that I needed to join. We got our very first (mini) flock in March, and have been enjoying every day with them since. We've got 4 Barred Rock hens, a GLW hen and a GLW roo! All were supposed to be...
