Thank you so much. I just checked again, when i Iifted the hen 's chest the chick crawled way back up under her without its shell. I looked at the shell and it was pretty dry very little moisture. I am happy I did it. Now I can sleep. Thank you again.

I'm, I am so stressed out. OK I took more of the shell. I don't see any yoke but the white isike paper so I lifted it off it head it was peeping very loudly and mom was not happy most of it is out I did not pull the bottom off for fear it would hurt it. I would say it's 3/4 of the way born it...

Thank you. Its head is out half way and is peeping. Do you think the yoke has been absorbed? How would I know?

I don't know if this right thing to do butthe whit is turning yellow so I picked off the remainder of the shell around the middle only. To loosen the grip. The most her is very upset with me. I put the egg back under her beak up so it can get air. I have warm water and paper towels but I didn't...

Oh I am so sorry to hear about the tornado. Thank you.

I just took this. The shell is split a little more than earlier. The white is also splitting. The chick moves and peeps but I can't tell where it's beak is.

Will it hurt it, if I handle it to pick the shell around the rest of the middle? it isn't exactly at the top more towards the middle like when you crack an egg in half. I have seen the others and the opening was more towards the top than this one is. The opening is more than half way but not...

I cant get a pic because I have to use one hand to keep her from biting me. I looked and if you can imagine this, the egg is sort of splitting around the middle like when you break an egg to eat, the membrane is still white and the chick moved and peeped when I touched the egg to look. The...

Hello, please I need some advice. It is day 23, I have an egg under a hen. I thought all had hatched last one yesterday morning and mom was just being cautious, but earlier today (2:00) I noticed this egg had movement and a small hole in it. The hole now is about the size of a quarter the...

hello

Hi Miss Lydia, thanks so much for your well wishes. Regarding the food we throw out, we don't usually have mold. However when it is pulverized the geese won't eat it they will only eat the pellets. Sometimes I give the pulverized to the chickens they like it no matter what. However, I am sure...

I am sorry it has taken so long to reply to all of you. Thank you all so much! I have been resting Ricki in his pen for three days. I spoke with a vet in Virginia and we talked about adding yeast to his grain and calcium as a precaution, even though we feed a very high quality pellet to them he...

hello, please can someone help me. my beautiful one year old gander Ricki is sick. he was limping a couple of days ago favoring his left foot, but then seemed fine yesterday. today he is not able to walk, when he does he is unable to put weight on his left side. I checked for injury but didn't...

We live in the North Shore of Mass. I would suggest Craigslist, that is where we got ours. I travelled two hours to Maine to get them, but they have been worth it. We could not live where we are without them. The ticks season here is so bad this year. They have taken care of that quite well...

thank you so much Red Horse Ranch, the keets are a week old now. I appreciate the information about the hen forgetting them. My babies live with my five adults (of course they are out all day but come in at night to roost) the same pen they were born in. I have not let the mother out with...

Does anyone know how long the guinea keets stay with the mother? My hen just had babies. Currently she is inside the barn in her pen with her brood. They are two days old. She is use to coming and going as she pleases. Right at the moment she is being the best mom but I know soon she will...

thank you so much. Yes he was pretty wet quite deep into his under feathers. I don't think he was soaked to the skin as I did feel a little warmth way up. I went in first thing this morning, he is still damp on top. His under feathers and neck are back to being fluffy verses yesterday and...
