    Broody hen stepped on egg and bloody but moving still!?!

    My hen hatched 3 eggs and a forth was slowly starting to peck out she stepped on it and crushed the shell and its bleeding. I tried to piece the shell back around them and put under her wing. Is there any hope for the poor thing? Should I pull it and put in the incubator?

    Hook worms in chickens poop

    I found hook worms in one of my chickens poops. I have safe guard for goats on hand 10%. 100mg/mL. They drink from a 5 gallon bucket. I have 30 chickens to treat. Some are just introducing to outside and still have a quart waterer. Is this effective and how much do I dose?

    Coccidiosis poop or intesinal lining?

    Each dropping is from a different bird in my young flock. Could this just be normal intestinal lining or the start of coccidiosis? They seem to be acting pretty normal- it's hot lately so hiding in the shade more.

    Dog attack

    A dog went after my young silkie. I cleaned it out with peroxide because it's all I had. I ordered this, he's in a clean crate in the house in a quiet room with food and water. Is there anything else I can do? How often do I clean with the spray when it gets here?

    Emergency

    I had gotten 4, 4 week old amerecaunas from a friend. They were in a separate cage in the coop for 3 weeks but my flock was able to stick their heads in and try and peck their food.
