Better to not get the chick wet, let it fluff up and dry off. The other chicks will pick at the exposed yolk if it's still wet. Also more likely to get an infection wet.
Once it's dry it'll harden and eventually fall off.
Take it out and use a flashlight. Phone lights are usually bright enough, to see if you can find where the aircell is. When youre thinking its time to touch it again. Just to make sure, cause if it pipped directly to the shell it'll take a long time to be ready, and all the major blood vessels...
Dont help this egg. It looks to me that it pipped the wrong end of the shell. It may be stuck to the membrane, but do not try to help if it's bleeding when you touch the shell. Give it a full 24 hours at least from when you noticed it was pipped.
The first chick looks like it'll be fine. I've...
Oh yeah i forgot physical art could be posted here. I made these which had really unique constuction. I liked how engaging the pattern was. I gave them to their new owner tonight and she was thrilled.
And im making these for my mom she loves ravens. She has some that she feeds who nest in her...
idk anything about 3-d printing really, but the texture is cool. I can't tell from just looking at it what the head will look like, but it does look like a snake in the body at least. :)
I think I know the smell you mean. I got some chickens from someone who housed them with rabbits and their 'coop' space was about 6" of soggy poop.
Idk what to do as I didn't end up keeping them, but I'd start with yogurt. I suspect it's that their whole system was over run with whatever...
If they're vaccinated then she shouldn't be showing symptoms if she does have mareks.
More likely if she's been sickly from hatch she has some kind of birth defect.
First pic The girl in the middle has black feather tips instead of grey. The one on the right is not from the wheaton mix at all.
This guy looks just like his dad, except he has a differnt comb.
These 2 are mixes.
The 3 hens here are all mixes.
Some of the blue and black ones dont have...
I didn't really understand the explanation on the genetics, I have a headache today though so maybe it's just me.
Most of my chicks from the blue wheaton turned out blue or black (9 each) with some red leakage. So it seemed like the bbs worked exactly the same as any other birds. I had 5 chicks...
Post a picture of the babies so we can see how big they are.
I have a 7 week old alone with my adults and 20 week chickens, but, it was integrated with a broody. It's mom died this week though. It seems to be doing alright.
You could make a cage of sorts or block off a portion of the coop with...
