    Incubating a shell less egg?

    All right people, the egg already smells like decaying cauliflower. I think I better call this experiment early. I don’t want to risk the rest of the eggs. Sorry bought it but there are just too many things working against this.

    Incubating a shell less egg?

    I do believe I will try because it does have a chance at life and I believe it should be allowed to live if possible. My plan is to make a small 4 sided plastic box for it and put a little wall between it and the other eggs. The ends of the box will be open so gas exchange can happen and I won’t...

    Incubating a shell less egg?

    I have been watching my neighbor’s Guineas for a few day and I asked if I could incubate the eggs I collected and they said I could. So I have been collecting them. But today I found and egg that was laid without a shell(the top egg). It has the membrane around it and feels like rubber to the...

    Hen with loss of color in comb and lack of movement

    This is Zelda, my buff Orpington, I wasn’t around much yesterday so I don’t know if she had symptoms then, but today when I let her out she very slowly walked to some grass and lay down. She has dried blood around her comb but that could be from some gnat bites because I can’t find a wound on...

    Off Chick

    Thanks for the advice, but I am afraid it didn’t make it through the night. Will definitely try that if I see similar conditions with the remaining ones

    Off Chick

    i got ten chicks one Wednesday to replace ten that I lost to a dog on Tuesday. I had two hens left and they were both brooding buff orpington so I thought why not try to put chicks under them. I went out and got ten, probably week old or so chicks. One hen abandoned hers so now they are all...

    Chicken’s face tore off

    Day 3, update. The stuff on her eye has hardened and is kinda peeling away from the eye, the eye looks fine but she doesn’t seem able to see me out of it. She is eating and drinking so hopefully it is down hill from here. Thanks for all your help throughout this.

    Chicken’s face tore off

    She is a bit slower than yesterday. She seems alert to me, she watches me (at least with her good eye), she gets on small roosts, I haven’t seen her eat or drink, doesn’t mean she’s not doing it.

    The eye is under neath, I can see it move. But duly noted, I may grab the axe soon.

    Chicken with large head wound after being attacked

    Alright, this may sound stupid and may not be at all possible, but what if the other chicken turned cannibale. Since it was the hurt one that went missing it seems more probable. When I was like 6 I had an overly small chicken with a broken leg that disappeared with the remains in the center of...

    Chicken’s face tore off

    She is eating and drinking and does her usual run from my hand so I don’t think she is in shock. I have been watching her with the others and so far non have pecked at her. EggSighted4Life’s strategy is usually more my style with letting nature take it’s course and based on the fact that they...

    Chicken’s face tore off

    I got home from school today and found that the majority of my chickens had jumped their run, which is unusual for them. After gathering the 10 outside I noticed that one looked strange. At closer inspection I found it had half its face torn off and the skin on the back of its neck. It acts...
