    10 week old chick injured

    1 of my 4 newest additions suddenly became the target of my other 3 BO hens and we rescued it as the hens were pecking it. Prior to this, everyone was getting along fine. Any ideas on why the sudden change in temperament? I’ve separated newbies from older hens and doctoring the injuried one...

    Duck wing injury

    In an attempt to keep my chicks and ducks warm, and save on the cost of heating, my ducks join my chicks each night. This morning, one of my ducks has blood on her wing.

    Incubation a success . . . now what

    My classroom was successful in having 11, possibly 12 (it's working on it now) chicks out of 24 to hatch on day 21. I know it can take longer for some to hatch, but at what day do I take the ones that are hatched, dried and fluffed out and put under the warming lamp? I am going with the 72...
