    Hen laying on coop floor clicking beak, eyes closed, neck back

    I have attached a link to a private video of my hen laying on the floor of the coop. She placed herself there between those posts to the nests after I had scooped her up and put her in a nest to relax and check her out. Nothing looks broken, no injuries from what I can see. She does prefer to...

    A few cocci questions

    Hi there, I've searched a ton of threads, sorry to start a new one on an old, common topic. Received chicks in the mail today. One looked very lethargic, and after sitting with them for about an hour, she pooped blood. I was immediately in action, scooped up the blood in the bedding with my...

    Chickens without water: how long can they survive?

    I am beating myself up. Yesterday I placed two chickens in the mail, "guaranteed" overnight delivery, ten weeks old. I've been refreshing that tracking number for 36 hours now, and they have not had a check in since 7:30 this morning in Seattle (where I mailed from). I can't sleep tonight, I'm...

    Exactly 8 weeks old today is this marvelous, large, personable cockerel, along with your choice between three 8 week old hens. These birds are colorful and playful, and all have the "mohawk" feathering on top of their heads . . . was rather lucky with this batch! Their parents are from Greenfire...

    It's ALIVE! (But air cells have me very nervous)

    First time hatcher here.... Shipped eggs, so I know a hatch rate can be very low. 28 eggs, and on day 7: 12 alive 16 clear Here's a video of an embryo moving very clearly! But I'm now terrified for those alive, because I marked air cells today (since everything I've read says day seven) and...

    More than half candle clear - contact seller?

    I assumed at most maybe a third would clear candle, because, being realistic, who can watch their rooster every second to be sure he's doing his job. But of 28 eggs purchased, 12 are very healthy, 16 are starkly clear. What have you guys done? Is this something I should contact the seller...

    Chick won't stand much (with 1 minute video)

    Sorry for the double post. I posted this in "raising chicks" and didn't receive any responses, so I thought maybe it should go here instead? Anyways, my post: Hi there, I have four chicks, and this guy, twelve days old, just lays around a lot. She or he will leap up at the others, preferring...

    Chick doesn't stand much

    Hi there, I have four chicks, and this guy, twelve days old, just lays around a lot. She or he will leap up at the others, preferring to take more flight than running. She will walk, though only when prodded. She's very sweet and docile, perhaps because she has no choice? Lol I'm spending this...

    Yogurt Fun!

    My grandmother wants chickens, but was too afraid she'd mess up raising them from chicks, so I offered (oh so delightedly) to take them to the six week mark until they can go into her brand new, backyard coop. I've raised my own before, and will be incubating 24 eggs when they arrive in the mail...

    Stephanie in Seattle

    Also often sleepeless, and have been perusing these forums over the last two years; the first preparing to buy chickens, the last regarding the chickens I purchased last spring and are thriving in a Seattle suburb I call home: Everett. I finally decided to make an account, as next week I will...

    One chicken being banned from the coop

    Hi there! First, I'd like to express how much I've loved this community, and have regularly referred to it for the last year. I'm very excited to finally join, especially now as I'm about to embark on hatching my own eggs next week! But I have a problem that I cannot seem to find any answers...
