These guys are all day 21. I think a couple of mine eviscerated and drown, too. That's sure what it looked like. Thanks for the info :)

I assisted it but it was already dead. I think it died over night. I'm now sitting up with one that is taking it's sweet time but is still peeping here and there so I'm hopeful. We had two others hatch healthy this afternoon and another one die. What makes them start to zip then die?

Ahhh! When should I do it? Now? This is my first hatch and I'm really freaked out!

I have a chick that pipped over 12 hours ago. It made a nice little hole and we could see it looking like it was taking breaths. Today it looks like it's beak is poking out of the hole but there hasn't been any progress or movement. Should I consider it dead?

Hi Guys, I have a question: I have a broody sitting on fertile eggs I bought from a local source here in Vegas. They weren't due to hatch until Thursday but I found two partially hatched and dead yesterday and one today. One also hatched successfully today, seems fine and is peeping away...

My hen hatched her first egg this morning! We are very excited and hopeful the rest hatch. My problem is that she choose to nest up high and all attempts to move her while on the eggs failed. Now that babies are arriving, I want to move her to the enclosure I prepared. Can anyone advise me on...

Hello! I have just realized over the last few days that my Australorp is very broody. Today I ordered 9 fertile eggs (giving 3 to a friend with a broody) and am reading and learning as much as possible. Very excited! Planning to move mama after the chicks hatch to a smaller pen within the...

I don't know if they've been vaccinated. They are on a good layer feed. I'm in Vegas and the weather has been ridiculously nice so I don't think it is a cold issue. They have normal looking poop and then a runny one here and there. If it were Mareks, would the antibiotics make a difference...

Hi, I bought some chickens a little over a week ago and one has been having a hard time almost from day one. She was walking really poorly and laying down all the time. I didn't know what to do so began adding some tetracycline to her water (it was all our neighborhood feed store had) and...

Hello, I am new and hope I am posting in the correct area! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I had chickens many years ago as a teenager then again in my mid 20's but it's been awhile! My current chickens have been with us for 12 days. (2) How many chickens...
