well I'm wondering if one of the kids dislocated its leg/knee somehow or maybe broke it, should I try to splint it? I can rotate his foot allmost all the way backwards but it does not seem to be in pain until I try to rotate it forwards again.

well I guess I will have to cull it unless anyone has any other ideas

well the topic says most of it this chick was fine when I got to work and when I got home we noticed that one of the chicks she brought to the kids day care now has a leg that is turned way out almost backwards. Any Ideas? what should I do?

Well I went in to town to run some errands and when I came home the one in my incubator has piped! Woo Hooo! Now I get to sit glued to the window in my incubator for who knows how long. I remember how long 21 days seemed when I set them and now the next few hours seems like it will be an...

Yeah unfortunately I have a lot of wild birds in my yard due to all of my walnut trees, mostly crows but there are also robins, blue jays, a couple of wood peckers, and a bunch of smaller one that fly to fast for me to bother trying to recognize. I feel really terrible this was totally avoidable...

So tonight I went out to the coop to check on My girl and her eggs,I am so proud of her she has been sitting there for over 25 days now if you count when she was on the plastic ones. When I got out there though I noticed a half or maybe third of a shell out of her nest, it is only day 18 so I...
