    Detached air sac?

    I have one egg out of my 52 incubating atm which seems to have developed a detached air sac. I had marked an air sac when candling earlier but it seems it shifted to the side. I've put them in lockdown and tomorrow is hatch day. I thought I had read to put the air pocket side up so I did. It is...

    Is it Coccidiosis?

    Mystery Chicken Death?

    I had this same issue shortly after acquiring our new-old flock. We bought old laying hens that were retiring from a chicken farm. We lost 4 chickens in the first week then they seemed fine after that. I thought it must have been stress or something. Now I've lost another 2 and have one more...

    Vent problems?

    Hello, We recently got back into laying hens after about 7 yrs not owning any. We got the flock from a local chicken farm that was swapping their barns. They seemed ok other than molting and very little feathers. There seemed to be a bit of feather pecking as well but nothing major. This...
