    Broody hen left the nest with 4 chicks, 2 still unhatched

    I'm wondering if there's anything I can do. We had barnyard mix eggs given to our orpington. Two hatched yesterday and two more by this morning (day 21). Mama has now taken her 4 babies outside and left the two remaining eggs. There's no cracks or pips and I can't hear anything from them, but...

    Two eggs in one day?

    Is it possible for a hen to lay 2 eggs in one day? It's got to be, right? I have a Marans that is a year old, I've gotten 2 dark chocolate eggs today and 1 yesterday. She's my only dark brown layer after my other Marans unexpectedly passed a week ago. The eggs were layed in two different spots...

    Mite infestation and freezing temperatures

    I need advice on how to get rid of these mites! I live in an area that is consistently below freezing, it was -20 all last week and we've warmed up to 20Farenheit. So I'm thinking a spray is not the way to go right now as I have no other place to relocate my 16 birds, and the guinea and rooster...

    Egg exploded in nest

    I had an egg explode in the nest, by the time I found out the other chickens must have ate the rements of the egg, I only found bits of shell dried onto the other eggs. Do I need to wash the remaining eggs off (the gunk is dried on them) or does that remove the bloom leaving the eggs more...

    Lump above eye?!

    My girl Clover (4mo) has a bump above her eye, it feels more solid. No swelling in the eye itself, no coughing sneezing, she's eating drinking and being her normal self. I also don't see any wounds either. I'm at a loss of what it could be or what I can do for this. All help is appreciated!!

    Barred rock chicks 3 weeks, different pattern?

    Hi there, I got 2 barred rock chicks from TSC that were labeled pullets, but I swear their patterning looks different from eachother...although I don't know if that means anything. Also one seems to be developing feathers at a slower rate, I read that could be common in opposite sex but also...

    Pullets or cockerals? RIR, ISA Brown

    I'm hoping for some help determine if my chickens are pullets or cockerals. They are 13/14 weeks old. Out of my two rhode islands one has larger comb/wattles/legs but there hasn't been a definite sign yet, at least to me. I think I have one of each for the rhode island which I'd be fine with...
