Power just went out. I have 4 ducklings and 1 chick all 4 days old and 1 in the incubator, pipped but nothing else what can I do ? I don't want to lose them now. How do I keep them warm ?

After much debate, I waited. Momma is sitting on chick and rest of the eggs. the eggs are about a week behind bc the other hens keep scooting her off the nest and laid fresh. I didn't realize it till momma hen was sitting for 48+ hours. So incubator is ready for when she gets up and teaches her...

I have a first time broody hen. The chick just hatched. The hen peeked at it and left the coop. Now she goes in and pecks at the chicks. It's still wet by itself in the coop Do intervene and take the chick?? Do I leave it be. I'm worried the other hens will kill it. I have never see this happen

Thanks! This morning the one missing returned. YAY!!!!!!! So we lost 4.

I know I don't post very often. But only chicken lovers understand how I feel right now. 3 dead, 2 missing,1 saved! Very glad hubby checks them nightly. The small coop door didn't get closed and right after sunset something attacked. I don't have a clue what it was. All chickens found...

Well she has a new name "low rider" thanks to my husband. But she's doing good. No squishy belly. Laying double yolkers every other day. Only walks like a penguin intermittently.

Not real squishy. When she coo's at me. Iyiu can feel her muscles and not much soft. She's still walking like a penguin and still laying.

Well the LARGE egg is from this morning. She is better. I would be too after laying that. This would be her 6th double yolker. I'm hoping she evens out. I guess this is what her problem has been.

Let me see if I can get a video. Her belly isn't bigger today than it was 2 days ago. How fast does the fluid build up?

That was a big scare That was a younger less mature hen. Phew!! She does seem a bit better. She as walking almost normal but the longer she walked then she started waddling. She's in the bath now and I'm making her tums flavored eggs. (Yum)

Very sad. She doesn't look good at all. Her comb is very pale

Scratch'n'peck- her "belly" is full and squishy and seems to be getting worse. I have given her tums for 3 straight days along w the bath. I am pretty sure she is laying but she isn't a regular layer yet since she just started a about 2 weeks ago. I have checked her vent several times over...

I have read almost every post there is on egg-bound chickens and peritonitis. I'm not sure what is going on. Our hen is a @22 weeks old Australop. She just started walking like a penguin 3 days ago. I immediately gave her a tums w some scrambled eggs. She has been in the bath tub. I am pretty...

Not sure if you can see the drop of blood by her bill. I tried to get the best picture without getting her out. TIA

This am one of the kids said the Rouen's eyes had something in it. I looked and both have injuries to their head. One looks like it got it's eye caught on/in something. The other has a tiny puncture wound that is bleeding by its bill. Her whole head is swollen and there were bubbles coming from...

I'm not sure what is up now. I was watching the babies and one threw up. I noticed earlier today she was whistling when she was breathing. I added ACV to their water. Bath has been daily. But now she threw up. He crop is FULL of water and she sounds gurgly (not sure that's a word). I tried to...

No more panting on our end! Kept the light off all night. They seem much happier.

I really hope it will be ok . How did the night go?

They get along great. They cry when one goes in the tub before the other or if they can't see each other. They sleep and snuggle together. We did electrolytes for two days when we brought them home. I can't think of anything else. The one losing her down is not the same one who was panting. We...
