All the other chickens are doing well and have precautions in place to prevent this from reoccurring - but she will be missed. I came home from work yesterday and found her panting in the deep...

    Baby chick pecks at invisible things in the air.

    We just hatched our first new baby chick from the eggs of the birds we got last fall. He is a very happy healthy little 6 day old chick now. We have him in a brooder indoors, since the grown chickens didn't want anything to with the little guy. Hopefully when the chick gets bigger, we can...

    Help! The air bubble is on the wrong end!

    Okay so this is my first hatch... I'm on day 10 and the eggs are dark masses now with little fluttering darker shapes in the dark masses... From what I can tell that's a good sign. However - I'm very worried because the air bubbles are all sort of diagonal from the small end to the middle of...

    Hello! I just adopted a three week old Buff Oprington chick on Monday. Before I got her she was kept in a large outdoor pen with lots of other baby chickens, larger almost adult chickens, and dogs running all around outside the pen. I brought her home and settled her in the brooder with her...
