    Help, please! Is he dead?

    About lunchtime yesterday another chick started pipping. In 5 hours it will be about 24 hours and he's not out. Apparently quit. Hear no sound from him. Open incubator? Leave him to rot? What do I do? 8 more eggs inside and one live chick. He had started pipping to left, but seems to have just quit.

    Help, please! My cuckoo is cuckoo

    I bought 3 cuckoo maran chicks in late February. One is a rooster (I'm told) and the two hens have begun laying. The rooster is not crowing nor is he being amourous with the hens. They were hatched in early February. Could there be something wrong with his rooster genes? I moved him and the two...

    Hi, all! One of my little bantam hens, a good broody hen, is sick. Acts like she has a cold, is sneezing, etc. Still eating some, but wants to stay in the nest. Bird flu, cold? I'm so new to chickens I don't know what to do or what is wrong. No bird vets anywhere in these boondocks. Thank you...

    Please look and help me

    Here are pictures of my crested polands . . . They were hatched March 10. From my poor pictures, can you tell me roosters or hens? I'm almost positive from what I've read that the third photo of the blue poland is a rooster. And I think the second one is a hen (hoping). What do you think?

    The coop scoop . . . need help!

    Hubby built my coop (my idea) on a concrete slab that used to be a dog kennel. It is inside a chain link run. Coop is about 9x15, I think. Since we've had so much rain lately, the coop flooded, and the wood that touches the concrete floor seems to absorb water to about the six inch mark. We are...

    Help! Help! Help! Baby needs help~

    Three broody hens are doing a great job raising 5 little chicks together. However, they have ostracized the 6th, abandoning him and one even pecking at him. I have moved him (they are 3 and 4 days old) to a brooder box. He seems a little weak and is not running around like he was yesterday. This...

    Scaly legs and feet on roo, help!

    My big roo has very scaly legs and feet, really, really scaly. We've dipped him (his feet) in oil, and they turned real real scaly again. One of the hens picks at his legs and we've had to spray them with stuff to keep her from doing that. What can we do for this roo with ugly scaly feet and legs?

    mouse eaters?

    Twice within the past week or so, first thing in the morning, two of my hens in a separate coop with a smaller roo, have come up with a tiny mouse for breakfast. I don't know if the mice were drowned in the drinking water (doubtful) or if they scored the little pest on the ground. I just caught...

    Help! What should I do?

    I have three broody hens that I put eggs under and now one of them was up and out on the run this morning. Will she go back and get on the eggs? Should I go ahead and move them to the other two hens who are still on the nests? Help! I'm new at this hatching thing.

    How can he drink??

    My buff laced poland broke his top beak half off several days ago. I've figured out I can wet the feed and pile it into little piles and he can eat it. I don't think he's getting water. How can I give him water?
