    HELP‼️Is this chick in trouble?

    UPDATE-- video link posted. Is gasping breathing normal? Most of my other eggs have hatched, this dude is late. He pipped sometime yesterday morning but did not break through the membrane and breathe until this morning. He's been beak out for about 15 hours and the breathing is really rough...

    Hygrometer Hell! Help

    I'm battling the same right now and it's so aggravating. I'm five days from hatch so I'm just averaging.

    Hygrometer frustration

    I have never been so frustrated. Six days from hatching my old incubator had to be swapped out because it was losing heat. We quickly overnighted a cheap one from Amazon. Setup and operation were easy. It (supposedly) reads out the temp and humidity level, which can be adjusted externally with...

    Poult has trouble walking

    Does anyone have any idea why this poult has begun walking bowlegged? It did not start this until it was about a month old. Balance is terrible. All its life it's had these dark purple, extended veins inside its legs (photo). Diet is gamebird starter and forage. (History, this baby has been a...

    Turkey vent prolapse

    We grabbed an injured poult at the feed store yesterday. Its back end was bloody. Once we got him cleaned up he was definitely pecked and seems prolapsed. It's very tiny, a bit larger than a pea. (I estimate the poult at a week old, his wings are feathered.) I've researched everything I can...

    Help with a very weak chick!

    I have a chick very similar and thought the same thing but have a stupid question--how on earth does a chick hatch too early? I can see an animal born early when the mother goes into labor but what causes a chick to crack its egg and head out when it's not completely ready? It has to do the...

    Trouble hatching one breed

    We recently incubated a clutch of eggs and all went well except the three Columbian Wyandottes. The first pipped but made it no further. The second got about a nickel-sized hole and stopped fighting. I peeled back enough shell and membrane that it finally freed itself after several hours but...

    Disease trifecta: hard abdomen

    My buff orp is in isolation. I started treating her for gleet several days ago because her butt feathers were a little messy. She had mites and I treated her for those. But she started doing the penguin shuffle, standing upright and acting uncomfortable. At first it was only on cold mornings and...

    Full-flock treatment for gleet?

    Is there a treatment for gleet flock-wide? Several of my hens have it and the individual treatments I have tried (epsom baths, monistat, banixx, yogurt, oregano, ACV) have had zero response. Is there something I can distribute to the entire flock for treatment?

    Help! Respiratory distress?

    Saw a one-week-old yesterday with his mouth open and wings slightly spread. I thought he was hot so I moved him away from the lamp. This morning it is clearly something else, looks like gasping for air. No rasping or rattling and still chirps. Body temp is good. What can I try? I dabbed on...

    Vent gleet JUST. NOT. IMPROVING.

    A few weeks ago I thought one of my hens had developed gleet: runny poop, matted feathers, stopped flying up to roost. I've had her inside, feathers trimmed back, bathed with epsom salt, been treating with miconazole and Banixx. There is zero improvement. Her vent actually looks good, no...

    Egg is hatching--now what?

    My solitary Chinese goose egg is pipping. Now what? Mama is still on the nest she built in the back of my chicken coop. Once this hatches will I need to move them to isolation? I have a mobile tractor I can put them in to keep them on grass, but I can't move it if she's going to build another...

    Is this a white-faced black Spanish?

    She is a dream. The most social of all my flock, very docile and gentle, calm but quietly chatty. I don't think she's a bantam but she is definitely small. Half the size of my other breeds. (She was supposed to be an australorp.) And loves heights, began flying much sooner than our other chicks.
