So a mama was broody on eggs, and a couple hatched but after the second day of the hatching she left the eggs. Once she left them, and didn’t touch them for a couple day I decided to grab the eggs and put it in the incubator, in case of any late hatches.

I was wondering if someone had an idea for me, so I have two broody chickens at the moment, and one has a hatch chicken but she seems to reject it. I was wondering if I could try to introduce the rejected chick to the other broody hen. But when I showed the chick to her, the hen seemed to cluck...
they have been near each other since I introduced the rooster to them, he’s a silkie, we thought to get this since it’s least likely to you know actually get the chicks, and the hen he keeps chasing is a barrier rock (don’t exactly know how to spell it-) the rooster is about a year or two...
the roosters (silkie) almost about a year, the hen (barred rock, DONT know how to spell it-) two years
and the rooster will chase her around with his hackle feathers all puffed up, and when he (something)catches up with her will start attacking her tail feathers- at least what I see. And he...
im pretty sure he’s not- I means I’m no expert. But when he attacks, he puffs up his hackle feathers and chases her around, and when he catches up he like pecks or some sort of her tail feathers. You think it’s just mating or like getting annoyed?
I don’t think she’s his fav girl thought, he stays more around his own breed. Yes she does have a place she can hide, since the roosters a Wilkie they aren’t the best at jumping and normally she will just jump somewhere high. Any other ideas tho?
no- I see him mating towards the others, but not really this one. He puffs up his hackle feathers and chases her all around the yard til I fiscally have grab him and put him in a “time out”. The hen is older than him about a couple years. Is it maybe cuz he can’t get it XD?
So I was watching my chickens outside, and over time I realized my rooster would attack this hen specifically the most and whenever it could, and I was wondering why is this? This for your time
Thx im going to start doing research on fowl pox and see different ways to get rid of them. But just on top of your mind, any ideas or tips you have? By any chance
Forgot to add, the bulbs are mostly found around the face/beck. And thought to post here incase it can mess with its brain or something. We can’t get to a vet right now since COVID so this is my best options. Tell me what your thinking plz I’d love to hear
We have been raising these little chickens for a bit, about a month and these round circular indents are appearing on them. Some redder than others. And I didn’t know if it was a concern or something, Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what it is and how I could cure it
sadly no, when I got home, the duck was upside down and we rushed him to the vet. But he was just suffering so we had to put him down. He’s in a better place now though. I wish I knew what it was, but he was the runt, and it appeared that him wings didn’t grow with him like the other ducks. So...
Do you know anything that might help with the bone problem as well?..
I can’t send a video right now since I’m not at the house but later I will once I get home
You seem to know a lot about this topic
So since yesterday she’s been wobbling a lot more and randomly just falling on her back. Are those just more signs of he niacin decrease or do you think it might be something else?..
