    Deformed/ consistently strange eggs?

    One of my EEs has been laying eggs with small calcium deposits on the top of the shell for a while now. I know that its normal every once in a while, but after collecting her egg today I’m a bit worried. This is nothing like I’ve seen before compared to the other calcium deposits (if this even...

    Cockarel with open side wound

    I found one of my young cockerels with a 1 inch wide wound in his side today. I don’t know how long it’s been there or what caused it. I didn’t have my phone at the time to get a picture but I’m pretty sure it went down to the meat. Is it too late if I already poured hydrogen peroxide and...

    New Rooster Getting Henpecked

    We recently had a fox kill a few hens and our flock rooster, so I found a post about someone needing a home for their OE rooster and decided to take him. He did good with my flock of 8 hens and 13 pullets and roos for a few days and he is a very sweet and good rooster. However, the hens...

    Sick hen?

    Today when I went down to my coop, I noticed my 2 y/o Mystic Maran standing still and panting. I let my flock out to free range and she followed but instead of pecking around and looking for food, she was standing still watching everyone else. She wasn’t panting all the time but I noticed she...

    Infected Pecking Wound

    My chicks started picking on each other a few weeks ago but they have since stopped. They were just integrated into the flock but they’re doing better now. This chick is the only one that still has a wound. I’ve tried seperating him many times but every time I put him back with the flock, they...

    What killed 4 of my chickens?

    Today was supposed to be a good day, but that got ruined when I came home to find 2 of my chickens dead in the yard. Our rooster, Kujo, had feathers EVERYWHERE and had no visible wounds but he’s dead. My favorite Barred Rock Pippy was found a little later with no wounds except for a snapped...

    7wk olds picking on each other

    I just moved my 7wks in with the rest of the flock and I know that they have been getting pecked and whatnot but nothing has been extreme so I think it’s just the pecking order. However, the chicks have been pecking at each others heads and open backs now and eating their feathers. They’re...

    Help - 6wk Old Chick dead with stuff coming out of rear?

    I just came home to find one of my baby chicks laying dead in the coop. I just introduced 14 6wk olds to my flock through a fence for 2 weeks and after being able to walk around together they seemed to be doing fine. I only noticed a bit of feathers missing off of some little ones but no chasing...

    Help Sexing 5wk Chicks

    I hatched 14 chicks in April and I’m wanting to know what gender they are. They’re 5 weeks old and majority are fully feathered. They glitched and the letters are out of order for some reason so sorry about that! Plus the pictures aren’t the best, they were hard to keep still! :wee

    Month Old Chicks Without A Heat Lamp?

    The weather today was 85 degrees and i turned the heat lamp off for the chicks since I noticed a few were breathing with their mouths open. They’re exactly a month old today and majority are almost fully feathered. Would it be okay to keep the heat lamp off all night? The lowest temp will be 66F.

    Broody hen acting strange

    I have a hen that’s been broody for a few weeks now, but I’ve just been taking the eggs daily since I don’t want her hatching any chicks. About 10 mins after I took her eggs today, she went out in the run and started digging holes and clucking. All the other hens had went inside to roost, but...

    Chick Zipped Halfway but looks stuck

    One of my eggs pipped yesterday morning and started sometime last night while i was asleep. I woke up this morning and it looks as if she zipped halfway and got stuck. Her beak is poking out and it looks like she keeps trying to get out of the egg instead of continuing to zip. Should I interfere?

    Hatched Chick Not Moving? help!

    I’ve been watching my chicks hatch the past few hours and I just checked them and a chick is not moving. She hatched fine and was moving, but I just checked and there is NO movement. Her eyes are half closed, she hasn’t gotten up since I noticed, and I can’t see breathing. What should I do...

    White/Yellow goo attached to chicks back?

    It’s day 21 and I’ve had 4 chicks hatch so far, but one came out with some stuff on it’s back still attached in the image below. There was no blood, but I don’t want it to dry and get crusted in his/her feathers. What should I do? We still have multiple chicks pipped.

    NR 360 Lockdown Humidity

    Today is day 18 of incubation (yay!) and I prepared the incubator for lockdown an hour ago. The humidity has not risen from 47%. I have both water pots filled and the air vent is about 2/3 open. Any tips? Last time I put wet paper towels in my incubator, but while I wasn’t home they ended up...

    Dark Shadow near air cell?

    Its currently Day 13 and I just recandled the eggs and I noticed one egg had a shadow around the aircell that was detached from where the chick was developing. It has some visible marks but I have no clue what it is. Has anyone seen this before or knows what it means?

    Blood Ring? Day 9

    Can someone help me figure out if this is a blood ring or not? None of the other eggs had this when I candled them today. There is a dark line going around part of the egg and the egg is underdeveloped compared to the others.

    NR 360 Temperature not rising

    This is my second time hatching with the Nurture Right 360. Everything was fine until the low temperature alarm started going off. The temperature is at 92 and won’t rise. The temperature light is also on but not blinking. Everything else is working and I’ve unplugged the incubator and it still...

    Missing NR 360 Plug

    I hatched a batch of eggs last year in my NR 360, but since then I lost the red plug that goes over the B port. I’m starting to incubate eggs later today, so I’m looking for a quick solution. I tried using masking tape, but after an hour or so the humidity caused it to fall off. Does anyone have...

    Hen with Back Wound

    The temps here during the past week have been less than 15 degrees so every day my flock has been on the roosts for long periods of time. I noticed one of my pullets with a back wound that wasn’t there prior to the last few days. I think its most likely due to her late molt and the other hens...
