Ok question for you guys. I have a chick that was zipped for a day but couldn't get out. I tried to help it out and the yolk was dried up and acting as a glue to keep the chick in. She had sores from trying to yank away from the egg...What could have caused this? Shouldn't the yolk have been...
I got her from a guy that didn't know what she is. She still has not laid an egg for me and she was supposedly hatched in February. I think She looks like an Ameracuana but not sure...she has grey feet. What do you guys think? What breed would you think? Should I be worried if she's not laying...
