    Chicken off balance

    I actually had 2 of my older chickens falling over, off balance etc. It ended up being mites that was causing it. I treated them with a insecticide spay & they gradually got better over the next week or 2.

    Duckling stuck, cut it or no?

    It actually came off when I tried to get a better pic. So I guess it wasn’t as attached as I thought. It looks like this now.

    Duckling stuck, cut it or no?

    Actually I thought it was more connected to the shell, but when I tried to get a better picture the shell came off. It looks like this now. Is there something I should do for it?

    Duckling stuck, cut it or no?

    Actually it’s late, I just assumed it wasn’t ready judging by the yolk sac. They were supposed to hatch on Monday. The other hatched Wednesday & is doing well. This one hatched last night after being piped for 3 days.

    Duckling stuck, cut it or no?

    That yellow is dried up, so if it was yolk, it’s no good now. The thing attaching it to the shell is rather thick and appears to be bloody. It almost looks to me like it’s trying to pull the umbilical area back out.

    Duckling stuck, cut it or no?

    This duckling apparently hatched a bit early. I noticed what looked like the yolk sac that was still absorbing. So I wrapped it in a wet warm cloth & placed it against the side where it’d be less likely for it to kick the rest of the egg shell off, in hopes that it would continue to absorb the...

    Assist or not?

    No, that’s something from the other chick that hatched. The pip is in the right place on the green one further up on the other side & I think it’s progressing nicely.

    Assist or not?

    I haven’t heard a peep from this one, I don’t think. The one beside it is peeping, but I don’t believe this one is.

    Assist or not?

    I haven’t heard any peeping from this one, at least I don’t think I have. The one beside it is peeping fairly loud. And no movement.

    Assist or not?

    This egg has been like this for 16+ hours. The membrane appears to be dried out. It looks brownish & ive seen no movement. Should I moisten the membrane? Should I do anything else? My humidity is staying between 70-75% in the incubator. It’s hard to tell from the pics because of lighting, but it...

    When to cull old hens??

    I personally don’t t cull my old hens, unless they’re sick. I feel like I should let them live out their life for repayment of all the eggs. My 2 oldest are 7 and still seem healthy & even give me an occasional egg!
