Hello. My daughter hatched this chick yesterday. She sent me this pic today. The chick's foot seems to be encased in the yolk sac. As it is drying the foot is being tightened to its belly. Anyone see this before and what can I do.
rooster or Hen? breed guesses ?
we hatched 48 eggs together, pure buff brahmas, pure wynadottes, ameracunas, and some mixed. these are the birds i either can not tell if it is a rooster or its breed please give me your opinions
