Saved 5 chicks from deplorable conditions. 2 are Rhode Island Reds, 2 are the same breed and 1 breed of another. Any help as to what breed these are would be appreciated. Thinking 2 may be black sex link and the other Black Australorp or Jersey Giant

Rescued 5 chicks today in deplorable living conditions. No food, water, sunlight. Put them in separate pen from my own hens. Hosed them off, gave food and water. They were starved. What do I look for as in possible problems? They were born in March. Two are Rhode Island reds, believe 2 are black...

Can anyone explain what this may be? It was only one foot last week which I cleaned with betadine solution and put antibiotic cream, but last night noticed both feet are like this. With the blood, of course, the others are pecking. Never experienced this before. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there: Out of the blue Saturday AM, one of my Dominiques was laying on the ground. Thought she was dusting, but upon further inspection, she could not stand up. Seemed otherwise okay. Have separated her. She is eating, drinking and can lean on her hocks so to speak, but cannot stand up...

hen was laying down. Picked her up but she won't stand. She was fine yesterday. Comb looks fine. Will eat. Some have just started laying. Could she be egg bound? Any help is appreciated.

Chicks are fully feathered and 7 weeks old and growing like weeds. We live in south central PA and have had some crazy weather. Can I put them in the outside coop with a heat light now even if the temp would get down to 30 or a little below? This morning woke up to 25 degrees. We have them...

Ordered 15 chicks from Meyer Hatchery. I live in Pennsylvania and did a map quest and Meyer's location is approximately 6 1/2 hours from my town. That's why I picked Meyer over Ideal this year. Chicks were hatched and shipped Monday. They finally got to my post office at 4:30 am this...

How long do you let hens sit on a clutch of eggs? We have had two hatch so far. There are probably at least 2 dozen or better still under the hens. We took the pouts and put them in a brooder in the house. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

We have two hens laying on eggs. I went in to check them and of course they are pretty protective. I saw what looked like a smashed egg near the front of the laying box. I took a stick and was able to get it out. It was smashed with a dead poult in it, so we are close to hatching. We put a...

Just thought I would share this photo of my husband with his 2nd favorite hen, Miss Lily. She just loves to be rubbed right underneath her wings. She's a real sweetheart. She will be 2 years old on the 25th of this month.

We have a hen setting on eggs. First time experiencing a hen actually sitting on the eggs. Just wondering, what you do after the eggs are hatched? Do you confine them with the mother, do you take them away? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I see ads pertaining to "hatching eggs" for sale. We have 3 hens and 2 gobblers and the hens are laying like crazy. Our incubator is full and we still have more coming. Do people actually ship the fertile eggs or is it best to just sell them as day old poults once they hatch?

I have lost 2 hens in one week. They have been losing feathers, but I attributed it to molting or just hens picking on each other. Actually, I lost another hen about 2 weeks ago also. Please look at the pictures and tell me what is going on. Thanks

6 week old Royal Palm just started walking with leg turned out. Not sure what to do. It was fine yesterday. What can we do if anything?

Four week old poult with leg problem. Is this splay leg? I have a video of it walking, but do not know how to post a video correctly, Any suggestions or resolves would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A clip of one of our Turkey Poults hatching. Quite amazing. We have three that hatched this week and one is starting to hatch today.

Out of 8 eggs, we have only one live hatch. One died trying to get out of the egg. There is another that is pipping but not all the way through yet, so we have just the one live one. It is in the brooder all by itself. For precautionary measures, we have a local feed store that have turkey...

Out of 8 eggs, one died trying to hatch, one is alive and well and another is pipping, so hopefully this will be a live hatch. If not, should we get another chick or poult from a local feed store to keep it company. Will the lone poult do better with some buddies if the other egg does not have...

8 Narragansett eggs in incubator. One started to hatch yesterday, but died in the process. One hatched today, no problems at all. They were put in incubator on 4/1/13. Should I candle remaining 6 to see what is going on if anything? Thanks

So excited. 2 of the 8 turkey eggs are showing some movement. One has started to peck through shell and another one is moving. I was worried at first, but am anxious now to see the little guys or girls.
