    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hey hey hey from rural Hilham, TN. I've been quite busy with pomeranusn puppies these last few months. I officially had no more chickens since November 2023. My German Shepherds broke into the hen house... but we've started over! I have 7 chicks, 3 buff Orpingtons, 2 Isa Browns, and 2...

    Yes, I believe so. When I purchased him, he was in the "Bantam" bin. So no specific breed name. After some research, the porcelain d'ccle was where we landed too.

    Help! Chick got pinned between wall and box with wings in the upward position overnight

    Thank you! Yes, I will do that this evening. She's had her wrap on for a few hours now. I also sprinkled electrolytes with probiotics in some fresh watermelon juice. Her one leg look pretty tired too. Overall, I think she will be ok. My poor sweet girl

    Help! Chick got pinned between wall and box with wings in the upward position overnight

    I thought my head count was right, but it turned out I was off by 1! This morning I found a very scared baby chick, pinned between the wall and bin we have them in temporarily. I wrapped her wings to her body as they were sore and stuck upright. Nothing appears to be broken, but I am keeping her...

    Had 12 hatch, 1 never pipped but was " shrink wrapped" when I opened the egg. What happened?

    Not in this case, it was a good looking egg. Just strikes me as odd. I thought all the eggs were gonna make it. 12 out of 13 isn't bad though. Still don't get it. Humidity was good at all times. I'd cover the incubator with a warmed wet towel when taking chicks out, when I still had a few to go...

    The membrane was dry and looked like a tight bag, around the chick

    Had 12 hatch, 1 never pipped but was " shrink wrapped" when I opened the egg. What happened?

    When I candled the egg, I noticed a very big air pocket. No movement. I cracked the egg at the air pocket and when the egg opened, there my chick was. Shrink wrapped and it never had any cracks or pips in the last days. I'm scratching my head. It absorbed the yolk and blood vessels. It looks...

    Had 12 out of 13 hatch, 12 had no issues. But 1 never pipped but was " shrink wrapped" when I opened the egg. What happened?

    Broody Silkie had 8 eggs, 7 hatched but....

    She doesn't want me bothering them or her. She's super protective and alert now. She's doing an amazing job.

    Baby is doing amazing. I placed her with Mom yesterday afternoon, so she could start getting caught up with the rest of the babies. It went perfectly. She ran to her and went right under her chest. Love them!

    Thank you, this is a first for me. I've always incubated eggs, but never had a mama sit and hatch before. She'll be happy to have all of them together again.

    Broody Silkie had 8 eggs, 7 hatched but....

    I have had a silky broody hen and she's been sitting on her eggs for the last 21 days. 7 of the 8 hatched, the 8th egg I placed in my incubator as it was still viable, with 12 others I am incubating. It's been 2 days since the other eggs have hatched and the lone egg that did not hatch is...
