We lost power last night, took 4 hrs to get it back on. I have 2 eggs that are much further along than the other eggs (23 & 24 days). Eggs were fine before the power went out & I just checked to see if they all made it through & discovered one has hairline cracks all around the egg & a perfect...

We just lost power from the storm & I’ve got duck eggs in the incubator. How can I keep them warm enough while also keeping proper humidity? All I can find online for no electricity incubation is it being supplemented with sunlight which we don’t have right now.

My friend just had 3 of his 4 Pullets die. First one showed signs something was wrong last Friday (May 19) & by Sunday afternoon she passed. They didn’t bother coming to get Corid powder from me until Saturday evening & didn’t quarantine the sick bird like I advised them to. Then over the next 2...

Click for video She is normally very active, runs around with the other girls & today she has become very lethargic, puffy with tail down & hunched over. She is still scratching & pecking around their run but she’s acting very odd. No signs of injury.

The past couple of days have been very difficult. I came home after being out of town for a week to learn my main rooster & 2 of my hens had been killed by coyotes. I was looking at the rest of my roosters & hens when I got home last night & some of them aren't looking too hot. My biggest...

My Salmon Faverolle’s feet keep getting worse. We had tried to use misters for a period of time to keep our chickens cool from the southern ca heat & it seems like it caused nothing but health issues. Chickens ended up with coccidiosis/worms. We’ve done the first round of treatment for the...

Not sure which of my chickens pooped but I noticed blood in it. Is this a sign they have Coccidiosis? What is the best way to treat my flock? I’ve got 21 chickens & assume I’ll need to treat them all.

I had an egg that didn’t hatch. In the beginning I thought I had seen two yolks but then forgot about it. Throughout the development it looked like only one chick. I decided to open it after I saw signs that the chick had died & even after cracking it open I still thought there was only one...

I had 1 chick hatch yesterday & like clockwork my hen wanted nothing to do with it once hatched. I removed the chick so she would not kill it as it looked like it was heading that way. She went back to sitting on the remaining eggs & that was that. By the time the 2nd chick hatched she was...

My hen went broody, hatched some chicks & all she wants to do is sit on eggs. She’s lost quite a lot of weight, her comb is shriveled & I just noticed this morning her earlobes have a black patch on them. It also looks like the black is all around her eyes & down to her beak. I’m not sure if...

Something felt off about one of the eggs today so I decided to crack it open & found my first double yolk! Exciting but can someone tell me what the heck this is! Is it a worm, an umbilical cord, what!?

Chick hatched yesterday. I left hen & new baby chick in the coop after first discovering she had hatched. I didn’t know if it would be a good idea to move them while it was still wet & the strong winds had such a chill to them yesterday. I went back to check later & 1 of the eyes looked like...

Went down to check on our girl who went broody; hatching day is just around the corner! When I opened the lid to the nesting boxes she wasn’t there. I initially thought she had gotten up to eat or drink briefly until I looked to my right & noticed she was on a different nest. There was a new egg...

One of my girls went broody & I decided to see this through. I realized what was happening on the 7th of this month. She was sitting on 4 eggs. After a couple of days I decided to check the eggs & out of the 4, 1 had started to develop. At some point throughout the week other hens were able to...

Posted under a different category but going to give this one a go as well.. I posted on here awhile back about my Wyandotte pullet. I ended up finding an avian vet (we were her first chicken patient) somewhat close to me that I took her to. What I had thought was a crooked wing was actually...

I posted on here awhile back about my Wyandotte pullet. I ended up finding an avian vet (we were her first chicken patient) somewhat close to me that I took her to. What I had thought was a crooked wing was actually her neck. The injury happened while away & watched by a friend. Since COVID...

2 of my girls (heckle & jeckle) are a couple months younger than the others they just joined in the coop. Some of the older ones are such bullies. I always put h & j in the coop first, they go on one of the roosting bars & try to sit as still as possible like they’re not even there. Then one...

This just started within the last week. I’m still fairly new to chickens (August) & seeing a vet isn’t an option at the moment. We went out of town for about a week for Christmas. We had friends stay to watch & care for our animals. My youngest pullets are still inside our home. This one in...
