I had a hen become broody and she ended up collecting 12 eggs. When I discovered where she was and she was definitely broody, I did candling and we were going to have 10 babies. Well, yesterday they all decided to hatch. One of her eggs pipped but has not zipped or made any improvement since...
Hello all!

Hello,
This baby hatched sometime today. When we went out to check, the baby was out of the egg and laying in front of my hen. It has not opened its eyes and is still in the "smashed in a egg" position. It has not gotten up and is still breathing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello all!
This is my second time being a chicken mom and these are a completely different breed than my first ones. The rooster in the pic is named shine and let me tell you, he's rotten. He's not really mean he just likes to play and attack feet. He's attached to my husband and follows him...
