I just did some more research and I think that she is actually a "sticky chick" not a shrink wrapped chick

thank you! the chicken is already out of the egg, she has been for a while. she is just attached to a part of the egg by the umbilical cord. she is peeping a lot and has been trying to walk around. but her neck seems really week and she cant walk on her legs. I think that there is something...

Thank you for the help! I don't know if my broody hen would take good care of her. she has four other chicks, all around three or four days old and she is antsy to leave the coop. she hasn't been doing as good with the remainder of eggs. she is only a year old and isn't that experienced. Would...

Thank you!

Also! i forgot to mention: she is still attached to the egg by her umbilical cord.we haven't messed with it

My family and I have a broody hen, so we don't use an incubator for hatching chicks. One of the chicks started to hatch almost three days ago but only her beak was poked out. she would peep but couldn't hatch herself anymore. so today (not quite the third day) we took her inside because we...

Thank you! Yes, I think she might be dead :( Yes, this broody hen is only a little over a year old. So far she has been good with all her chicks (there are four others) but today she cracked this chicks egg PLUS she stepped right on top of her chick that was born this morning. i had to lift her...

When I got home today my sister and I checked on the chicks and fertilized eggs and we found that one of the eggs was most likely stepped on by our broody hen. The chick was hanging outside the egg, surrounded by bedding, still in the fetal position with its feet up and head tucked. Its been...

Thank you for the help!

We are hatching chicks with our broody hen, and so far three of them have hatched (one each day). Today, we checked on them this morning and all three were there, but when we came back home at around 2:00ish, only two chicks were there. The one that is missing was either the second or first one...

Thanks!

Today, my family and I bought some chicks, and one of them is a Red Ranger. Its so cute... but some friends told me earlier that they are meat chickens.... is that true? Do they lay any eggs? I hope so, because we are all vegetarians, so...

Hhahahahahahahahhahaha Those names are the best! My chickens names are: Amelia Gemma Rebecca Rosilea Prima Vera Chicks: Candice (Or candy) Ali Pepper Duckling: Indie And more chicks to come! (Tomorrow.. so exited!)

Today my family and I bought three 2 week old chicks, and rescued a 2 day old duckling. Now I am wondering how I should slip them under my broody hen. She has rejected chicks in the past, but it was only because of the chicks being sickly. Should I slip them all under her tonight? Right now they...

Thank You.

One of my hens are broody right now, so we were going to buy some fertilized eggs. But today my mom's friend found a abandoned one day old duckling. She doesn't want it, so we offered to take it (maybe). I was wondering if Rosilea (the broody chicken), would raise the duckling. If so, we...

My 2 day old chick is not doing so well. She shakes uncontrollably at random times, has neon green poop, and is very lazy. She still doesn't know how to walk. Please help! Is she really sick?

Thank you so much for this information. I will be sure to follow it. The chick is doing much better now. She/he still has a umbilical cord, attached to some of the eggshell but it looks dried up. Also she is walking a little bit. She looks pretty healthy, except for the egg shell clinging to...

I have a really urgent problem. My family and I are hatching chicks for the second time- (But the first time there were no survivors) This summer we bought fertilized chicken eggs on June 7. So far we have two chicks, but today a third one started hatching. Our broody hen was teaching the other...
