I have a young girl (6 months old) that hasn't been laying long at all. This evening she started walking like a penguin. My husband and I both tried to see if we could feel an egg (reading that she was likely egg-bound) and yet we cannot feel anything like an egg. Is there any other reason...

I have several baby chicks running around. A few I purchased (2 months old) and a few I hatched (few weeks younger). Yesterday afternoon the babies were dust bathing when one of my hatched chicks jumped on the back of a squatted female baby. Now, I know that they are not of breeding age, but...

The guy there is my rooster, Ace. I believe he is an EE rooster (but please correct me if I am wrong) and he is stunning. I am so very fond of him. The two reds you see there are Red Stars and they, at the time, were my only layers. We have since lost one (sweet Lucy) to a predator ...

Over the last week we have lost four full grown chickens three different ways. The first completely disappeared, the second we found feathers and one leg (nothing else), the third and fourth (in the last two days) have been found headless. Everything I read suggests I have three different...

Wednesday I woke up to a new baby hatching from her egg. She had started a zipper, but didn't get very far. I left her alone for a while and when I returned she had made no progress. I left her alone through the night and by morning there was still no progress. At this point I thought she...

I keep reading that before lockdown the temp should be steady and the humidity should be in the 40's. After lockdown, humidity should be above 65%. How on Earth do you guys do that? I have two incubators. Their water chambers are filled and I have the temp set as high as it will go 99.5. I...

On Jan. 10 I set 31 chicken eggs. They are due to hatch tomorrow and yet there isn't a single egg peeping, rocking, or shaking. At day 14 and 18 (at which day we locked them down) there were great veins and movement of little baby chicks in 15 eggs. Now, I'm worried there isn't a single one...

Hi all, Two days ago I noticed one of our little Silkies suddenly (on Thursday) acting unwell. We had, had several beautiful weather days and then on Thursday (today is Saturday) it was rainy and cold, so at first I thought this had something to do with it. She was staying puffed up...

This is Mama, she is around 7 months old and we got her 2 months ago. Someone was getting rid of all their flock and we took her and our Roo, Ace. She isn't laying yet, although Ace mates with her every day, so I'm unsure as to the color of her eggs. She is grey, has a beard and muffs, red pea...

I have a young (17 weeks) crested polish rooster (Rockstar) that just started crowing last week. I have an older rooster (Ace) that has been mayor for a while and yesterday morning saw him chasing Rockstar. After a while I noticed that Rockstar was not in the backyard anymore and we feared he...
