    Hello all. So here’s the situation. I have two incubators I usually run simultaneously when I hatch, this time I was doing two batches of eggs about a week behind eachother.

    Not egg bound... clear fluid?

I had been giving her extra calcium and Epsom salt baths regularly when it first started, I couldn’t feel an egg inside of her so when her condition didn’t get better I brought her to the vet. She...

    HELP! Broody crushed an egg?

    Hi, this is my first time with a broody hen. I had 10 eggs in the incubator and then a hen went broody so I put them under her. I went to check the hatch, which I probably shouldn’t have done and it looks like she crushed one of the eggs. Should I remove the rest of them and just try to put...

So I’m not sure what’s happening with my Bernadette... nobody is laying eggs (out of 4 who have been laying) the sun isn’t out as much but not sure if it’s normal that they’ve all stopped.

She’s had great success with her little ones so far and moved them into an existing coop on her property. Her boyfriend and her were cleaning out the coop and kept finding what they...

    Cracked egg...dark inside

    Hello! It’s my first time hatching eggs and am down to 5 out of my original 16... I realized an egg had a slight hairline crack in it on day 12, put wax on it and saw a chick moving inside. It is now day 15 and it seems like there is two air cells on both the big and little end and I can’t see...

    Hi folks! I’m totally new at this whole chicken keeping thing... I have a 12-week old chicken, lavender ameraucana (supposedly)... not sure if she’s a she or a he? Hasn’t been crowing or anything but has a redder comb than the others. Thank you for the help!
