So I'm trying to ship my birds through USPS...
I called USPS and asked where I can get the special box to ship them. The guy said he didn't know, maybe the pet shop.
I called the pet shop, and they said no way... try FedEX.
FedEX had no idea, so I called the Feed Store.
The feed store...
Yes, it made it through the night, but is very lethargic. She won't even open her eyes hardly. I gave her water with ACV and sugar. Don't know if that will help, but i figure it won't do much harm. Thanks for the tips on how to manage this! thanks a bunch!
Okay, so I tried to put them back in, but turned white and had to sit down. I gave it another go using a Q-tip and managed to push them all into a hole slightly smaller than a dime. I put gauze and a couple band-aids over it. It probably won't survive If it makes it through the night...
A 3 week old baby chick got into the dog pen 4 hours ago. My dog got her and ripped her side open. Her guts were hanging out and I figured she'd die within minutes. I just got home from class and she's still alive. I had made her comfortable in a box, but she's so awake that she even flew...
Thanks all
Update--->
Both of them are alive but still learning to walk. Momma accepts them but I have them inside with me as momma and her chicks were re-introduced to the flock outside.
I tried to leave the other 4 eggs in the incubator but temps soared to 112.
Needless to say, they...
Thanks for the help!!!
Tried to take the chicks, but mamma was way worried and started jumping all over trying to get them. Stepping on the remaining eggs, too. <-- She was also doing this earlier today, when the chicks jumped out of the nest.
Good news so far!! I decided to "intervene" as...
I had a broody hen, her eggs mostly hatched out easter and yesterday.
SHe just got up off the nest about 5 mins ago and won't go back.
There are 6 eggs left and three are trying to get out and peeping... i caught it so they're still warm.
Can i open their shells for them?
I have an...
Our first time, for me and my broody hen!!! Momma kept telling me she bets they'll hatch on Easter... she was right, again!!!!
Half are Serama, half are serama and wild game hen mix Not sure which these little ones are!!!
I have no idea. Old English Game is the closest breed I can connect her with, as "wild chickens" isn't a exactly a breed I know sometimes the cocks are caught and used for cockfighting and they look like the breed but IDK.
She's small, a little taller and bigger than the serama rooster...
Mrs. Fluffy Puffy :
She won't behave any different, but you'll have to check on her everyday to see if she has chicks, and if so you might want to take them and raise them your self. If you still want her to set on the eggs then you'd better take them away and let her hatch out the rest.
WOw...
I have a wild chicken (old english game hen) sitting on a clutch of 15 serama and serama mix eggs. I candled them and they seem as though some are as much as a week apart in development, and some look like they should hatch any day now. She is in her movable nest (plastic detergent container)...

Cant work out what ones are funnier. My friend took pix of me actually doing it LoL. Will upload in the next week or so once she sends me the email. I swear she will be in trouble if they turn up on the notice board at school LOL.
How do you do that?!
