I am new to hatching. I have 10 tolbunt Polish frizzles in my little giant 10200 incubator. Last Friday was day 21. Yesterday (day 22) there was an egg rocking pretty well. Today not nearly as much.
How long till I give up? Or is there anything I can do?
These were shipped to me and 3 broke...
I have a teen silkie. She's about 2 months. I want to move her out of the house into the run. But I'm worried about temperatures. I'm in Utah, it's really hot during the day and gets pretty chilly at night. With her being so fluffy, I just worry how she will handle the elements. What does...

A few weeks ago I got two baby silkies. They are the same age. One is still tiny and mostly fluff. The other one is covered in feathers and considerably bigger. The lil one ALWAYS has a poopy bum. I've been giving them chick feed and even some meal worms. I don't get why there is such a huge...

My mom is wanting to start her own flock. She just...

A few months ago our hen was attacked by dogs and basically her left shoulder ripped off. This left her wing droopy and I don't think there's enough muscles to use it at all anymore.
She's amazingly healed up (even has been laying eggs again). She's been the coop with her sisters for a few...
I have a hen that was injured a little over a month ago. Due to her injury she's lost a lot of weight. With winter approaching I'm worried with how skinny she is. Is there any foods I can feed her that will bulk her up quickly? Right now she only has pellets and what bugs she finds in the yard...
About a month ago our chicken Twinkie was attacked. She basically had her shoulder ripped off. Amazingly she has survived and seems to be well on her way to having a normal life again.
So here's our dilemma... I kept her in the house for a few weeks to do everything possible to keep her going...
