    Help!!!! Opened incubated egg too soon! Chick's still alive?!?

    I set half a dozen eggs 25 days ago. Three in the bator and three under my broody. My three all died around day 17, just quit developing. I threw those out, and then checked on my broodys eggs. The one seemed to have quit as well. The remaining two I did a float test on, and they moved a bit,so...

    Swollen neck..tumor??

    My red has been acting strange the past couple of days. She's usually very mean and active; she pretends she's the roo of our flock of girls. A couple of days ago she started being very docile, not moving much and not eating a lot. She even let me pick her up without pecking at me. Her comb...

    What have I done??? (graphic pictures)

    I am so so upset. My egg had been doing wonderful,but then on day 18 it stopped moving inside. I just figured it was because it was so big,it couldn't move much. But then it looked exactly the same on days 20-22. I finally got too scared,and after reading other posts online,I was even more...

    Chicken Can't Stand Up!

    This morning I went to the coop to let the girls out, and found my poor Elli trapped underneath the door that closes off the nesting box. It's not a very heavy door, it's just chicken wire in a frame,but I guess it was enough to pin her down. When I took her out and set her on the ground,she...

    Can a chickens leg fall asleep??

    My newest hen seems to have a problem with her legs. When we first brought her in, she was very unsteady when she walked. She would actually walk on her own feet! We just passed it off as clumsiness, but now its gotten worse. When we let her out of the coop in the morning, she won't walk out on...

    Incubating Eggs

    I've been gathering my hens eggs for a few days now and setting them in the incubator. I'm up to four, but I think I'm going to stop there. With all the excitement of incubating eggs,I forgot to collect all of them and incubate at the same time. So now I must let these hatch and then put the...

    Homemade Incubator

    Yay! Time to show off my homemade bator! So I decided to go with the cooler design (it just seemed so easy) and here's the result: My temperature stays at a pretty constant 100 degrees,but occasionally drops to 98 or rises to 102. But these changes don't last long and it always evens back...

    Funny Chicken Stories

    Today I walked into my coop planning on getting some scratch for my girls. But when I opened the feed building,I was met with quite a surprise. There,looking up at me from inside the feed bag,was my RIR! She was literally inside the bag,just hanging out in the food. Of course,I embarassed her...

    New Chickie, New Name

    My new hen still doesn't have a name! Help,please? She has the most beautiful chocolate and caramel feathers. And her name has to end in an A, since all our other chickens names end in A. We have Minerva (our first hen), Georgia, Elliana and now the new hen. Any ideas would be great!
