    Need advice...Chick Problem?

    This chick is the only one of 15 to hatch. I have never seen such a distended abdomen. The chicks legs are spread to the side, I assume because of the swollen gut. I have never seen this before!? Any insight or advice? I would appreciate it. TIA.

    Shell-less eggs...

    I have a three pullets, penned together and they began giving eggs about three weeks ago. I have only 'busted' one laying but believe all three are. Here's my question... I have gotten two shell-less eggs in as many weeks. How 'many' turns to too many for a pullet? She/they were hatched in...

    Question about My Lonely Isbar Hatchling...

    Out of 14 shipped eggs this baby was the only one to make it to lock down! Thank God 'she' hatched. So here is my question... I do have other eggs in bator, but they are not due for a couple few more days... I need/want confirmation that it would, indeed, be wise to become her surrogate sibling...

    NEWLY HATCHED CHICK WITH UMBILICAL INJURY...

    I have a newly hatched baby that is one day late from rest of hatch. When he popped his top off and began to rest the one day olds came over to say 'hello' and ended up kicking the rest of his shell off.

    SHABBILY DELIVERED (SHIPPED) EGG Question...

    Hi Fellow Hatchers, The box that my poor potential babies came in looked like an emotionally disturbed Rugby player used it to try out for the 'volleyball' team! Amazingly, only 1 egg was broken... 7 ways from Sunday, of course. Everyone else has some of the wonkiest mix of air cell types I...

    Concerned question about eggs, currently day 9...

    I have been all over the place with re-adjusting my incubating 'habits' as this is my first shot and I am trying not to outright 'blow' it. Noticed that the 'yolky' part of the eggs is on the lateral side of more than one egg, from below the air cell line down close to pointed end. I have yet...
