I've had a surprise 3 chicks hatch ( will explain when calmer.
They are 3 days old and I've just gone out to check them and found one with a cut on his head in the food bowl. Mum ignoring his chirping.
I've taken him out and put him in a box with a lamp bedding food and water but now panicking...
One of my girls has just squished through the fence and ended up in the mouth of next doors dog, I managed to get it to let go and as she run back through the gap she got stuck. I managed to free her and wrapped her straight in a towel. She has no puncture wounds or blood. She is in a bit of...
How long after the chicks hatch can I move mum and baby's to the bottom of the coop?

What's the best...
Ok so tomorrow is day 10 for my little guys and I want to check the eggs.
Mine are under two hens so I was wondering what's the best way to do this?
Take them all out at once or a few at a time?
I never catch either girl moving so is it ok to take them from under her?
Sorry if these are really...

Hi everyone :)

I have two Peking bantams, Flora & Clover.
Both my gorgeous girls are broody and I've decided to try and get them to hatch some eggs.
