A Maran chick that we hatched from local fertilized eggs has a very swollen head, neck and wing area. Like it’s a bubble around her.
What is this?
Will she survive?
Can my other chickens get sick?
I’m running out of brooder space in our bathroom. I hatched quail 3 weeks ago and picked up 4, 4 day old chicks from TSC. Can I put them in the brooder together since they are size comparable right now? I have more quail hatching today and need to use one of the brooder for those babies.
hi. I’m hatching quail and it’s day 18. I have 14/33 hatched and I put them in the brooder every 12 hours. There’s a few in the incubator that have cracks in shell but no movement. One you can even see feathers, but I can’t see it breathing. Humidity has gotten as high and both vents are open...
This morning I noticed one of my Barred Rocks with a twisted beak. Is it broken? Will she be able to eat and drink sufficiently? She did look like she was eating but could tell if it was enough.
