I wish I hadn't read lucky's story! Now I feel bad! I know you were only trying to help! Maybe I will call the vet tomorrow and see if he would do a charity case and at least advise me as to whats going on. He a good ol' doc. Probably grew up on a farm and understands this kind of stuff...

Hey Guys! We own a few hens and are new to pet chickens so we dont know much about there anatomy other than what you see on your dinner plate. We found this rooster this morning on the side of the road injured. Hubby took him home and doused him with flour as he was bleeding. after a few hours...
Yes he is eating like no tomorrow. His crow sounds a bit like it did when he was a baby and didnt have a crow yet. hubby says maybe he is going through a change? I will have to wait till he crows again but the last few days he hasnt crowed durring the day like he normally does. He is only...
So I noticed at 4am when Tyson our Rooster started to crow that he sounded the same way the night before and that his crow didnt sound right. It is more grumbled or muffled than his normal pronounced coca doodle doodle dooo! Maybe he has something stuck in his throat? I dont know how I could...

So I didnt think about this until now! We have a BO pair. (m/f) and I want to get a white and tan silkies hen and an easter egger hen. Mainly we just want eggs. BUT if my BO mates with either the silkies or the egger which he will unless I keep them seperate, what will the babies be? Is there a...
Thank you.
I see a few plucked feathers in there and I see turning of the eggs. I marked an x on them with a sharpie and now I cant see the x's so I think she is turning them. I guess i will have to see if she is really broody or not.
Well thats what I thought but with all this bator talk I was confused. Do you think I need a light if the nighttime lows should be expected to be in the low 70's?

Thank you for the response. So it's up to me what we should do. Hmmmmm.....if I bring them in, how long should I wait to bring them in after they hatch? I seen that they say to leave them in the incubator 4...
I posted in the hatching forum and no one responded yet and now my post is trampled with new posts! lol I will keep it shorter.
MY BO mama has 9 in the nest. Question is what do I with them when they hatch? Do I let her raise them out or do I bring them in and raise them in my chick tub?
We...
