Yesterday I was out in the coop feeding the chickens one of them was walking slowly and wobbling around. She fell and couldnt get up. I helped her eat and thought she just kept getting pushed around by the others and not able to get food. Then today I found her getting stepped on so I pick her...
My mottled cochin bantam was sold to me as a sexed female. She feathered out very slowly like a rooster and it concerns me that i wasted 12 dollars for a sexed chick that wasnt the correct gender. She was probably born on the 19th of July.

One of my chicks has cross beak and she is only a few days old. I know that it cant be cure and the best thing to do for her is to trim the beak. I know it will problably worsen when she grows because it just started and i feel like she might die from her beak. Should i give her a chance or no?

About a week or two ago I was given a broody hen from a family member since he didnt have a rooster and she would just be a nuisance to him. Now since I've gotten her she hasn't gone broody again. I was wondering if there were any good ways to get her broody again since I need to hatch some...
When I was incubating my chicken eggs I was going to candle them on day 7 or 6. Then I saw no blood vessels so to check what was going on I open one. When I cracked it open the yolk was broken and no blood vessels. I proceeded to open all 9 and every single one was like that. Before I started...
It's day 25 and I have 7 eggs in the incubator. On day 18 it seemed like 4 of them had babies but I couldn't tell from 3 since they had a very dark shell. Now I see no signs of them hatching. No internal pips or external and I asked my teacher about it. She said to open one up but I don't want...
