Kids, I have found your solution. Mom says you can only have one? Well tell her your friend on BYC said that that is a terrible idea. Why? Because chickens are social at birth, and they need companionship. When Einstein, my day old (as of 8/13/16) Araucauna was born*, she was very lonely. She...
That baby is IN THERE. I just know it. When I got home, he was peeping, peeping, peeping. But not pipping. He has been talking all day but hasn't made any progress. This is my first hatch where this happened, so I have no clue what to do. Only because I know you'll ask me, yes, I did open the...

Hello. Yesterday I found a goose egg in my neighbor hood. There are some geese that just had babies. They laid another egg and abandoned it. iIt is 2 days old. I am not seeing any veins. We have it under a heat lamp. What temperature should it be at? People give me so many answers.
Thanks,
