    Rooster lost spur and is now not eating or drinking!!

    So very good news🙂 I woke up this morning to crowing! He’s obviously feeling a lot better since he’s nice and warm in the house. I gave him some scrambled eggs and dill to pep him up even more. My daughter doesn’t like the crowing but unfortunately I’m going to wait until it’s at least 30...

    Rooster lost spur and is now not eating or drinking!!

    Update! I haven’t gotten around to trying to do a full check and pictures because I’m doing my best not to stress him out too much. He’s still not eating but it does seem like he’s drinking a bit. I thought he seemed a bit brighter today and his broken spur showed no sign of infection. I...

    Rooster lost spur and is now not eating or drinking!!

    I thought about that but unfortunately I would have to wait until I have another set of hands. I’ve syringe fed a sick baby pigeon but never a chicken..I’m guessing it’s the same risk for aspiration?

    Thank you! These eggs don’t have a smell yet but I took everyone’s advice and tossed them. I feel guilty but I knew they weren’t alive anymore🥲

    How long ago did this duck egg die?

    Thank you for the reply! For some reason I’ve always had more luck hatching ducks than chickens until this batch. Might have to check on my incubator and make sure it’s still running smoothly👍🏻

    How long ago did this duck egg die?

    I’ve been hatching both chicken and duck eggs for a couple years and this has been my first duck batch that is a 100% failure. This is one of the eggs that was growing fine…I saw veins in the beginning and watched it’s little heart beating. I haven’t checked in a little bit but I know it should...
