    Help! Question about newly hatched chick

    No, I don't live on Sanibel, but it is one of my favorite places in the world! Have you been before? Thanks for the tip about misting the egg. Although my husband grew up around chickens, we just started raising them last spring, and are learning more all the time. We also have 35 guineas...

    Help! Question about newly hatched chick

    Thank you both so much! I feel better now, hoping that is just what it is. Otherwise, he seems to be a very alert little chick. He's obviously been all over the incubator, as the eggs still in there have blood all over them!

    Help! Question about newly hatched chick

    Has Anyone Seen This Before?

    We've checked her, and it's not bumblefoot. I haven't been out this morning, but my husband said she looked worse this morning. I'm gonig to take her some aspirin when I go out in a few minutes. I'm hoping that, regardless of what the problem is, the aspirin will help her with her pain.
