well last night i was about to take a picture but found the poor chick dead but opened the rest up and saw that the yolk was absorbed but there was swelling near the abdomen

i have an incubator that i have the chick in with a warm damp paper towel the chick doesn't seem like its ready to come out yet but the shell its halfway peeled away but we have left the inner membrane intact the chick started to peep a little but not too much

ok so we got our first incubator and the day it arrived we had a hen go broody hen had her chicks hatch out but the incubator eggs had died in the stages of developing and so there were 2 eggs left we were unsure about and put them under the broody hen but she got off and in the morning the eggs...

The pain is real when the nicest ones turn out as cockerels and your only left with 2 hens

no there is nothing like that in any of them they are all quite healthy

ok so some background info i have hatched this black Araucana mix shes really a sweet girl and she laid her first egg yesterday and her second today so i went to collect the gges and she was sitting in the nest box even though she laid her egg shes the only one that lays green eggs and it was...

thank you for this answer we recently had to make him a meal as it was getting VERY out of had this happened early jan he drew lots of blood now the silkie is the alpha and he is doing a great job my experience was if i show affection too much they would become like this very aggressive the...

she was doing great but today was really hot and now shes worse than she was was before she doesnt eat but drinks water i brought her in the house and currently have the AC on

shes acting better but only when i leave her out in the garden when i put her back the the flock she just sits around

when i was opening the flock in the morning i found my hen laying on her side so as i opened the door everyone rushed out with lots of flying and then i saw my hen had her head stuck under her body so i quickly went to see what happened offered her some food and water she refused to eat or drink...

do you have a clear side view of them?

i know its normal but so soon? i used to have a broody she would never leave her chicks on her own i would always have to jail the broody to separate her and the chicks but this hen just left quite quick

:welcome Happy to see you here! I find rehoming roosters a bit tough but its just the area i live in hope they get lovely homes

i would listen to what they said pick the one that is nice to the hens and nice towards you if both have these qualities then go for the one that has the best pattern/colours

so i bought this silver laced mix hen with her chicks and they hatched on the 13 of september and since yesterday she has been neglecting them she doesnt call them for food and she seems to like being in the nest box and i think she laid an egg i got 1 more than im meant to get when she sits...

maybe cockerel i have a RIR that everyone said was a male and it turned out to be a she so not sure

i saw some feathers on her tail and they look shiny that's how I found out my silkie was a male he is a black non-bearded silkie he was a VERY VERY late Crower mostly due to having an alpha male to scare him

you could also give her boiled eggs try to give her the yolk and white but mostly yolk

the not eating might be a problem if she continues it might loose weight and it wouldn't end good from there

:welcome looks like a case of a very bad shock poor girl but she will lay eventually hope she overcomes that
