Tonight while I was clipping wings I accidently clipped 3 blood feathers. 2 of them stopped almost immediately but one didn't stop for a while, so I applied cornflour to it. The bleeding has all stopped now. Is there still a need to pluck it? Or will it be fine? This chook is going to a new home...

Yes, they were born yesterday morning very healthy and active.

2 healthy chicks... thanks for your help guys.

The chicks opened most of the shell up themselves, the hens pretty good with not crushing the eggs I'll check on her once more before i go to bed and then see what's happening in the morning

Another question (sorry guys) I have 2 eggs that have started hatching this morning, but they both appeared to have shrink wrapped. The membrane isn't leathery yet but I can see it drying and encasing these babies. My problem is that they both appear to have active veins which is why I don't...

They probably won't start cheeping or pipping till day 20, I checked on my eggs last night (day19) and they were radio silent but when I went out this morning 3 of them have begun hatching. Just keep an eye on them :)

4 healthy babies

Update 3/4 hatched with the last one not far off :)

I have this issue with my hens and at the moment I have 8 broody hens with eggs. So far 3 have hatched chicks and I separated them for the first few days so the babies could strengthen etc, before letting them out with the others. The hen will fight with other chickens to re establish pecking...

Yeah that's what I was thinking, i had a chick from the clutch that hatched a couple days ago that was cheeping and tapping that night, but by the morning it was dead, with no pip or anything. It made me wonder if the chick was just too weak or the shell was too hard to crack and if I could have...

Cool thank you! I checked on them before and they appear to have started zipping so hopefully they have hatched by the morning. If there is no improvement I'll give them a hand :) some eggs under my other hen have started cheeping and tapping so they should start hatching tomorrow too

Here's a pic (if it uploads) of the 3 eggs in question.

Hi, This summer 8 of my hens decided to go broody so I put some eggs under them, the eggs are red shaver X silky. I have 26 viable eggs due in the next few days and 4 have started hatching today. I had 6 hatch a few days ago and we had to help all of them but 1 hatch, as the shell was super hard...
