I have an egg that hatched early this morning. The chick came out quickly like its very strong but it had a big ball on its behind. Now about 6 hrs later I checked the ball has busted from it jumping around and theres blood (I believe out of the ball) and a thing hanging off the chick last an...
My neices Dh wants me to try and hatch some ringneck pheasant eggs, I know nothing about pheasants. Could someone fill me in on bator temps,humidity and what to feed them if and after they hatch? I will be keeping them until they no longer need a heat lamp, is that pretty much like chickens? I...

I wasn't sure where to post this. I went today to get 2 more bales of hay for bedding. A couple months ago it was $4.25 a bale today its $5.50 a bale! I think when this is about gone I'm going to try shredded paper and see if it works.
I wish I could post pictures but I haven't figured that part out yet. I hatched 2 chicks (a week old now) that a lady sent me from Texas. She said they were mutts, some she rescued and that some she had laid blue/green eggs. Ok one of the chicks has a stripe down its back like a chipmunk and is...
I had to help a chick hatch that had been trying for 2 1/2 days to get out. I believe it was too big for the egg and was curled in a ball. One thing thats wrong is its one foot curls in. Any ideas if it can be helped? I'm not sure if there will be anymore problems or not as it just got out...
I have 12 mutt eggs that are on day 21. Two have hatched, one started pipping yesterday about noon and has only made it to a opening about an inch long by about 1/2 inch wide. I can see it breathing and its beak opening but it doesn't seem to be able to break anymore of the shell (it looks...
My RIR is 12 weeks old, when can I give her laying pallets? Shes about the same size as the older hens but I have her in a separate pen and can't put her in with the others till she can have laying pallets. Thanks.

My RIR is 8 weeks old now, it has the comb thing kind of between its eyes but none on top of its head, is it too early to say if its a hen? Thanks everyone.

One of my hens is pecking the Roo. Has feathers off his butt and neck. What can I put on it? Shes started acting crazy lately, pecking him and me. She was the only friendly one out of them but not sure what has got into her now. Thanks for any help.

My chick is about 3 weeks old. When it is trying to poop it chirps and acts like its having a hard time. I can't see for sure (its so fisty) but its butt maybe swelled. Any ideas. Thanks so much. By the way it is pooping just seems to be having a hard time.

My one RIR chick is a little over 2 weeks old. On its temples by his eyes it has gotten I guess you could call it little circles. Theres nothing wrong but I was wondering if this could be something to show if he is a ROO? Thanks.

I have this one chick that hatched in my first try at hatching. OK he's 2 weeks old now, his feathers are coming in, on his wings and tail. He tries to fly and acts crazy. LOL For a brooder I have him in this big box my grandson's power wheels truck came in, so he has plenty of room but like...
I think one of my young hens has gone broody, if in a couple days she is still sitting (right now only on 1 egg) can eggs in the incubator be put under her? Has anyone tried this. Thanks everyone.

This lonely chick is 5 days old, at nights if I open the broody bugs fly in and of course little fuzzbutt eats them. Does he need any grits since hes eatting them? He gets nothing but chick starter but he does grab the bugs. Thanks.
