I have a hen who just hatched 6 eggs (this wasn’t on purpose and y’all helped me figure out what to do).
She abandoned 4 eggs and one pipped (I think that’s right) yesterday but she hasn’t been near it. I’m including a photo bc it’s actively chirping and I’m not sure if it’s at a point where I...

** EDIT - After further research I believe she is coughing not sneezing!**
1. Type of bird, age, weight? Bantam (maybe...
Hi! I'm just going to go through the recommended questions...
1. I am new to chickens and was gifted my chicks by a friend who knew I've always wanted chickens just shy of two weeks ago.
