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.
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...
I haven't slept a wink since last night and at 4am I heard my Roo crowing and thought why are you crowing in the middle of the night?
So, I went and checked on everybody and found my biggest egg yet!? Very, very warm to the touch!
BTW: They just began laying last week...
My question is...
Can you add powdered Corid to a batch of already mixed Save-a-Chick solution???
I am trying to dose one ill chick and safe guard the other three...trying to get them to drink from two seperate bowls feels like too much to cover my bases.
ANY advice will be GRATEFULLY appreciated. This chick...

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. I noticed a small red dot on his umbilicus... they began 'picking' on him so I put him in a...
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...
Hi everybody...
I broke down and bought a batch of out-of-state eggs... I had faith in the Seller, just about nil in the carrier. For good reason as it turned out.
One egg was broken pretty bad and I was afraid to do any real candling.
I am pretty positive that only the one egg's shell was...

Ok, my Chick 'math' is giving me, what feels like, multiple ischemic attacks...
I am one day away from lock down and I am unsure how to 'beat' the humidity Beast! Please HELP!
My records show me that the bator had been in the early to later 40% on the new hygrometer. Not including the first...
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...
