I had a new chick hatch down to the top half of its body about an hour ago. Finally it hatched all the way, but there is a long string of flesh colored stuff hanging from its rear, and it's bloody...Is it going to die? Did it hatch too early or something? It seems a bit weaker than the first...
Hey guys and gals-
Yesterday was the first day that I let my flock free range around my property. I love my birds, so I ended up being outside for about 5 hours yesterday, only leaving the area they were in to check on dinner in the oven.
This mornin, I went out to throw them breakfast...
I went outside this morning to fill the food/water dishes, and found my rooster caught in the netting that is supposed to be covering their run. I don't know how long he was caught...It could've been all night long.
I don't know much about broken bones or anything like that, but I don't notice...
