    Prolapse?

    There seems to be an egg inside this prolapsed sack… brand new 22 week old layer. What do I do?

    Black Australorp turning white

    It’s probably an australorpe mix that turned out mottled. It’s super cute.

    Accidental incubation we need a home for the chicks!!!

    Break the broody. I know you feel bad because of what people are saying - but this is not as complicated as you think. Your rooster is always going to fertilize the eggs; if you let your broody sit on them then let her sit. Basically, sh*t or get off the pot. You need to collect your eggs daily…...

    I don’t know if my chicken is broody

    At three months your silkies are not broody. And you can’t force or encourage a bird to go broody; it either happens or it doesn’t. An incubator would probably be best for your quail eggs since chickens are much larger and could crush the chicks.

    Help. Egg bound pigeon.

    Give her a crushed up calcium tablet ASAP (human kind ok) and soak her in a warm epsom salt bath.

    Naked tummy

    It may be the way she roosts; possibly rubbing her in that area.

    Fertilised eggs but hen not sitting on them

    If you have a rooster all eggs will be fertile all the time. If you don’t want more chicks, then collect them and eat them. If you do want chicks, your broody that just hatched the two chicks is going to be busy being a mom and will not sit on eggs again until she is broody again which is an...

    Egg Bound / Prolapse

    There is not another opening; sounds like the egg is too large to pass. I would give her a crushed up calcium tablet immediately and keep soaking her until the egg comes out. I’m going to summon someone with more experience with this. @Eggcessive

    Roo chases me but never attacks?

    Don’t run - stand your ground and literally be the bigger cock. He’s practicing to attack you and testing you at the same time to see what kind of a fight you’ll put up. Put him in his place now, don’t show fear and always appear bigger. Walk into him and make him move out of your way (but don’t...

    15 Week Old Pullets with Sour Crop

    To diagnose impacted crop (which comes first), remove all food and water overnight and check their crops again in the morning. If they are not flat and empty and are instead bulged and full, then there is an impaction. It’s normal for birds to sometimes regurgitate a little water after drinking...

    CCL sexing and maybe breed?

    I believe this is an autosex breed; the chipmunk looking ones should be pullets. No stripe and a dot on the head means cockerel Am I right @Overo Mare @Rhodebar Lover
