    Help! Questions about assisting my hatch

    Okay, so I read the great article on assisted hatching, and I am in the process of peeling away the shells on the air cell area for 6 of my keet eggs. They are overdue their hatch date. I attached a picture. Some of the eggs look mispositioned, do you agree? The are all moving, one is kind of...

    Guinea fowl with respiratory issues!

    Hi all! My guinea hen, Nellie, has been having issues for a while. Her breathing is wheezy, and every once and a while she shakes her head and sneezes. If she gets worked up (gets picked up, runs, etc.) then her breathing gets worse to the point where she may sit down and puff up a little to get...

    Rooster's top beak is too long?

    I don't know if this is the right thread category so forgive me! The top part of my rooster's beak seems too long, but I don't know. He's an Australorp and is also really lightweight so this made me wonder if it is harder for him to pick up pellets and eat them. What do you all think? See pic!

    Dried grass for keet bedding

    Hi everybody, I know it is recommended to start guinea fowl keets on paper towels for the first couple of days due to the risk of them eating bedding, but the paper towels can get really messy. Would it be safe to have guinea keets on dried grass bedding when they are really young? Would there...

    WAY TOO MANY BEES IN FEED!

    With the weather being nice lately, there have been a lot of bees hovering over my chicken feeders during the day. I've had different types/brands of feed but the bees are still there.

    Is my Welsummer hen actually a rooster?!

    Hi everyone. My 22 week old Welsummer is supposed to be a hen, I think it's a hen, but now I'm not so sure. It's tail feathers are hen-ish but it has big wattles, a big comb, and a pretty deep voice. What do you think? (I'll post tail pictures soon.) Note: My roosters the same age are really...

    Buff Orpington with Pink legs

    I noticed in the morning that my 7 month old Buff Orpington, Buffy, had pinkish legs and feet (see pic). Her feet aren't typically like this so I think it's the cold. Outside temperatures were in the low forties last night (Fahrenheit). Could this simply be more blood flow going to her feet or...

All of them are acting fine, but I'm wondering why they stopped. Although it's September, temps. are still at...

    Baby Chick With Crooked Neck

    My 2.5 week old baby Austra White has a crooked neck that is likely wry neck. I noticed it when she was a couple days old, but it wasn't that bad at first. She seems to be doing alright though (eating, drinking, playing, etc.) If it is a vitamin E deficiency I'm thinking I could give her raw...

    2 week old chick with swollen abdomen, mushy chick disease?

    Help! I noticed Hazel, my 2 week old Easter Egger, has a squishy super swollen belly. I think it might be mushy chick disease but I have no idea.:confused: She's acting fine, eating and drinking like normal, but her belly is really concerning. I've been giving her garlic and ACV. The caked on...

    Is my guinea hen getting ready to lay eggs?

    I have 12 pearl guinea fowl who are about to be 12 weeks old. One guinea hen in particular keeps looking for tall grass/a safe spot and hunkering down to sit there. It could be something else but is she looking for a safe spot to lay eggs even though she isn't ready yet? I know 12 weeks is too...
