    How do you keep hatched chicks from climbing all over unhatched eggs?

    So I have only done one hatch in my LG incubator which wasn't very successful. (12 out of 31 eggs hatched) I am trying out another hatch & bought a hygrometer because I believe my humidity was WAY too high the 1st time. But it also seemed like when each baby chick hatched they then rolled all...

    When to start/stop intervention with sick/dying chicks

    I received 52 chicks yesterday & 3 have died. I am just wondering if trying to intervene is pointless. They are listless with labored breathing. As they progress, they won't even open their eyes. They also chirp loudly. I have tried to get them to drink with a little success. But they just...

    My 2 roosters & 18 hens have had what appears to be a chicken "cold" for well over 6 weeks now. (Yes I realize that chickens don't catch colds, but this is the best way to describe it.) They have runny noses, sneeze all the time & many of them are hoarse. So I have been giving them vitamins...

    Opinions & Exp Needed w/ Broody Hen - Hatch Date Dec. 1

    So at 7 months, my Silkie went broody & although I really don't want to hatch any baby chicks right now, I gave in because nothing was going to change her mind. She is sitting on 4 eggs with a hatch date of Dec. 1. I decided to put her in a rabbit cage so if it gets really cold here in...

    3 YOKER WOWEEE!!!

    I have a RIR that hatched this March. When she started laying, she layed double-yokers almost every day for about 6 weeks. Now she lays lots of double-yokers, but also plenty of single ones. However, a few weeks ago she took 3 days off. When I went out to check the nesting boxes I found this...

    NEIGHBORS ROO ATTACKED & INJURED MY ROOS EYE

    I noticed my neighbor's rooster in my yard this morning. When I went out to check on my chickens a little later, I noticed my Roo just sleeping on the grass. When I approached him, he didn't move. That is when I noticed that he can't open his eye. I'm too afraid to try to open it because I...
