    Bloody Vent or Belly Button (?)

    I have a new hatchling who is only an hour old or so. It was being picked on for a while, and once we saw blood, we pulled it out and put it in it's own space under a chick heater. Is this the vent or belly button? Is it treatable? Thanks in advance!

    Exposed bone!

    I have a hen who lost a foot to frost bite. The foot finally fell off (took 7 weeks) two days ago. Well... the bone is exposed and is bearing all of the weight.

I’m wondering, though, if we should expect any others to fall off as well or if it’s looking like some will...

    Pullet frostbit feet- amputation questions

    Our pullet was born with a bum leg and has always had trouble walking, but still made due. A few nights ago, she didn’t make it into the coop and it was under 15 degrees Fahrenheit. When my husband found her the next morning, she was frozen. He picked her up and realized she was still alive. She...

    Chicks pecking at other eggs- blood

    This is our first time hatching chicken eggs. We have two out and they are pecking at the other eggs and each other. One of the eggs they are pecking at now has an open hole and blood. The other egg has a chipped shell where they are pecking but the air sac isn't broken yet. It looks like its...
