    Is this grief or an infection or what???

    UPDATE she's stopped making the noise and looks a lot calmer, so I think it must have been vocalizing

    Is this grief or an infection or what???

    It's pretty much cleared up by now, responded well to the garlic

    Is this grief or an infection or what???

    Sorry scouring is just some mild diarrhea. So that's what I mean by stomach problem. I'm in Canada

    Is this grief or an infection or what???

    No changes to the flock except that they've been getting garlic oil to treat a mild stomach problem that they've been having - a couple of them were scouring a little. I will try to get a video when my father comes home - I don't have a phone with camera

    Is this grief or an infection or what???

    I have a young hen who went broody a few weeks ago and we let her sit on some eggs. They were due to hatch this weekend. Yesterday she was off the nest and today the eggs are cold and one of the other hens appears to have broken some open. The eggs are bloody with no developed chicks so I think...

    We got a post-soak family photo! (Bird is doing her impression of a burrito on my knee)

    Great thanks! I have 6 hens and my roo, thinking about just putting them all in the bathtub

    Epsom soak just because?

    So I have an egg-bound hen who I am giving an Epsom soak tonight, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to maybe give all the girls a soak? No one else has issues at the moment, but I was thinking of having a bit of a pampering day for them as those that have had to soak before really...

    DAY 20 Power outage

    Better, thanks for asking. Her symptoms have pretty much gone away so it's unlikely she'll have lung damage.

    DAY 20 Power outage

    Just an update, the chick and I are settled in back home, and when I candled the unhatched egg I saw that about 6 had died very late stage, and a couple others just looked kinda shadowy. I had taken the blanks out earlier on. I am going to get a friend for the baby when possible, but at the...

    DAY 20 Power outage

    Okay it has just occurred to me that the hatched one is a bantam and the others are standards. Does that mean that my temperature is actually off by enough to delay by a few days, since bantams are shorter?

    DAY 20 Power outage

    I could try

    DAY 20 Power outage

    I can stay another day, maybe two. The chick looks fine but has a tiny bit of unabsorbed yolk still

    DAY 20 Power outage

    Day 22 just an hour ago, they were rocking early day 21 and peeping but then went silent with no visible external pip

    DAY 20 Power outage

    The other ones haven't done anything even though they were rocking the other day... what do you think their chances are?

    DAY 20 Power outage

    The pipped chick is zipping!

    DAY 20 Power outage

    Can't get a pic but the membrane is white. Still unresponsive, but if they typically rest before hatching I guess that's normal? Don't have exact humidity reading, that's something I need to invest in in the future, my incubator has certain grooves in the pan and the manual tells me when to fill...

    DAY 20 Power outage

    UPDATE: I have an external pip as of about two hours ago but it has stopped chirping and responding to me talking to it. Could it be shrinkwrapped? Or is it just resting?
