    Roo issues

    I took the Hamburg back in and he challenged the legbar. The legbar fought back and they sparred for about a minute and a half and then the Hamburg gave up. Seems like they are back to normal. Thank you all for the advice!

    Roo issues

    Thanks. The legbar is pretty docile and won’t fight back. It’s fine as long as they can cohabitate but he was isolating and afraid to enter the coop. I’ll try to reintegrate and see what happens otherwise I’ll try to rehome the Hamburg. How long should I leave the Hamburg separated?

    Roundworms

    Did I kill my chick?

    So I had one egg hatch 2 days overdue. I had to help because after 48 hours it was struggling to zip. Chick is out and healthy. I floated tested the other 3. Two floated sideways and one floated straight up and down. The guide I was following said if it floated up and down that it was dead...

    Thermometer calibration issues

    I’m having trouble calibrating the incubator thermometer. Tested a meat thermometer. Boil test 0.4 low, freeze test 0.4 high. So +- .08? Then I get different readings depending on where it is in the incubator, and I can’t get it by the incubator thermometer because it hangs from the middle of...

    Several poopy butts

    I will wash them off tonight. I didn’t dose them a second time. Should I worm them again and do it twice this time?

    Several poopy butts

    I have several chickens with poopy butts and one that is lethargic. I treated them with safeguard a month or two ago after two hens died suddenly and one poop had a ton of worms. I haven’t seen any other worms since, and only that once. Laying is down. Ideas? I don’t want to lose more hens.
