    Good news after bad sickness

    My RR developed a soft, fluid-filled swelling underneath and between her legs. The feathers were coming out, and she huddled in the corner most of the time. After bathing the area, I tried to see if she was eggbound, but felt no hardness. I read I would have felt the egg. Is that right? I...

    abandoned eggs

    Goldie sat for over two weeks on a clutch of 5 eggs, then left them and moved to a new nest. I haven't looked to see what is under her now. What gives?

    dead chick

    I've been watching and waiting for my little Henny Penny to hatch an egg. 21 days went by and she got off the nest. The egg had hatched, but the little yellow chick was dead. There was another egg in the nest, but she did not go back. What might have caused the death of my first chick? I...
