Follow up..... callouses still there but feathers are starting to grow over area. I think that you were right and they will probably take some time to resolve but feathers should protect in future. Thank you again. Kay

She is acting normal. She does not seem to be aware of lumps. I am heating with the new heating plates which I love. Since she is the smallest, I would not think that she is getting burned but that is a possibility. Maybe she is squeezing in and ending up on top at night. I will raise it as they...

No mounting noted. And they are still inside the house so I watch them frequently. The chick is about three weeks old and is the smallest of the batch of six. She does tend to scoot under the other chicks frequently. About 10 days ago we did notice that they were bleeding At that time we had...

Baby chick with lumps at top of wings. Noticed a week ago and was being peck.....resolved that issue but lumps seem to be getting bigger. Almost like callous. Any ideas?

I have just found a new home for my rooster. I now need some advice on how to transport him there. I am assuming that it should be done at night. He weighs about 10 pounds.

You are probably right. I never thought about it that way. These eggs were found in the woods under a pine tree that had fallen in a storm. So who knows when they were laid. This is my first year with a rooster so I am learning a lot. He actually came to me as a mail order fertile egg when one...

My large Lavender Ameraucana mated with my bantam d' uccle and she laid 12 fertile eggs but stopped sitting after 5 hatched. Guess she knew that they would be too much under her wings. Also it was a fall hatch so maybe she stopped due to the season change. Last batch was a full 12 hatched...

Thank you so much. I know that I attach human feelings to my chickens. That said, you have helped me greatly to call a friend to come get the babies when other chicks hatch. It is so much fun! Another question, if I may. We had a big storm a few weeks ago that knocked down many trees. Since...

Wanting to give away 2 week old chicks and wonder what that will do to mama emotionally? I have too many babies coming! Another hen is getting ready to hatch in 7 days and I want to make more room for my next batch of babies. I have 7 hens and 2 are broodies. I am a newbie and have a small coop...

I too am a softy for my Helen. She is 12 weeks old from my first set of broody hen hatchlings. She is a Lavender Ameraucana. At about 5 weeks I noticed that her beak was sticking out. She was smaller than her siblings. I started feeding her in the house a mush of starter feed and yogurt. She...

Thank you I bought some Blu Kote today and will give her a bath to wash off dried blood.

I have the sweetest 10 week old Lavender Ameraucana hick that I hatched from eggs under my broody hen. Unfortunately she is severely cross beaked. I hatched 3 and the other 2 are fine. I have been feeding her wet mash and she seems to be thriving. She is so lovable and follows us into the...

Oh double so sorry. I have read about that. Mine is a blue Ameraucana and the eggs I ordered were Lavender Ameraucana. I have 6 other chickens 1 Dominic, 1 bantum Mille d'fleur and the others are EE. They are free range and last year I lost 7 last year to a fox. But the first year we only lost 1...

So sorry. I too am a newbie. Year 2 and this year at Christmas one of my Americauns went broody. I did not even know what that was but some friends at work have been mentoring me. So I found out that I could buy fertile eggs. Bought 3, they sent 4 and on day 21 she hatched out 3 baby chicks...

A broody hen sitting on 4 eggs is new to me. I moved her into mini coop as other 6 hens were not tolerant of her. I purchased the fertile eggs. I have her in the garage but am still fearful that VT low temps will not be good so I moved her into cool room in the house. Was this wrong? Also she...
