    Undeveloped or Deformed Chest Cavity

    One of the chicks from my most recent hatch had an underdeveloped or deformed chest cavity. This is what I observed..... For the first two days I could tell something was wrong with the chick, but couldn't put my finger on it. It wasn't stargazing/wryneck or splay leg, but the chick was...

Will chickens go into a warm environment on their own if its provided? I like to keep them free range, I just want to know they will be smart enough to...

    :(

    Right now, I am so angry and upset I can't see strait. I'm feeling very irresponsible and guilty as well.

    How Long?

    Just out of curiosity, about how many years does a rooster last in a breeding flock? I know with hens it's a few years till their fertility rates drop. What about roosters though? I have tried to research the answer to this question with no luck Thanks! ~Steph

    I went to TSC and bought one of those still air incubators. I am still up in the air as whether I should use my broody to hatch the eggs I have on the way or this over priced piece of styrofoam I have a silkie hen that is brooding on 8 duds.
