    Closed membrane

    This duck egg pipped this morning- should I poke a hole in the membrane? I’ve put coconut oil on it to try and keep it moist and my humidity is at 65-70%. I don’t know why my membranes are drying out!

    Fodder Setup

    My newest coop is set in an area with no grass so I’m thinking of sprouting some fodder. I have an organizer similar to this... Would it work? I would drill holes in the bins and leave the bottom bins to catch the water. Just trying to work with what we have, lol.

    Broken leg? Dislocated bone?

    Help! My 6 year old went to pull a chick out of the brooder and forgot she already had one out and slightly sat on the poor thing. It is standing up and walks every now and then but then falls over. I fear something has happened with its legs. It’s 2 days old. How do I start diagnosing what...

    Brinsea death

    I had a chick hatched yesterday in my brinsea mini advance. It seemed to be doing very well and had not been out of the shell for a little over 24 hours. I came home this afternoon from work and found it dead in the incubator. Since I was gone all day, I'm not sure what happened but I found the...

    September 2016 Hatch-A-Long

    Howdy all! I know there isn't probably many of us yet but I'm currently waiting (impatiently) on some ebay eggs to arrive this week. Looks like I'll be hatching around the end of the first week of September. I ordered some Easter Eggers and then a rainbow mix of some freakish looking chickens-...

    Whole flock is going downhill

    A couple of weeks ago, I traded my roosters for two hens from a large chicken breeder. It appears that our two nearly acquired hens have brought something with them, which has started affecting my whole flock, even though I quarantined them both. The first hen, Ellie Mae, died after a couple of...

    Seximg Polish Cresteds?!

    Anyone magical enough to do this? I have two that I am clueless about. They are about 7-8 weeks and are that awkward stage where they really aren't that attractive yet...

    Roosters or hens?

    So far, I think my Wyandotte is a pullet along with my little Silkie, but I'm stuck on my other two. The white one is 8 weeks old and a Super Blue Egg layer (from MPC) and my Lav Orp is nearly 7 weeks but seems small. Thoughts? They have been sparring out in the yard but my white one seems a...

    Another splayed leg post

    So I have a few day old chick and its legs seem useless. I'm pretty sure it's splayed leg. I made a splint type thing but it cannot eat on its own- it just lays there. When I woke up this morning it was really far away from the heater- not sure how long it had been in the cooler air. It perked...

    Potting shed turned chicken coop?

    So I currently have 4 Silkies, about to be 3 because my roo is WAY to noisy for our neighbors. I have a pre-fab coop which so far has worked ok but I would love to be able to stand up and clean it, instead of having to bend all sorts of ways. My DH is not handy and I am a teacher, so we don't...
