How long do chicks typically stay at this stage?
I'm worried because the day before yesterday my incubator ran out of water (don't know for how long) and hatching was goig well before that but ever since I've had to help one that couldn't get unzipped and then yesterday I lost one :"( it was...
I'm a first time incubator user and afraid I may have messed up bad! Wasn't planning to use the incubator but mom chicken abandoned some eggs, long story but they've been hatching two a day just like they were laid two a day

I've only had chickens a few months and one has been limping for two days so I just caught her and checked out her foot, it's very dirty but I don't see anything weird except this long feather that's pink with no fluff at the end. Does it look like a blood feather? Can this be the cause of her...
I'm pretty new to owning chickens. We have 11 mixed breed chicken/roosters and 5 guinea fowl. I have two coops
