    Broken shell after internal pip wish me luck

    Wish my baby luck shell accidentally got broken by hen so I took it out and now am keeping it warm but I don't have my incubator as my daughter borrowed it and she lives over 2 hours away. Heating packs and microwaved moist wash so hopefully it will live

    So many early quitters in one breeding pen

    I have had early quitters in the incubator so I had 2 broody Bantams placed 7 EE mix eggs and they all hatched even though it has been cold here. So I have been looking at adjusting my incubator settings and maybe try a dry hatch

    Barn cat? Thoughts, suggestion and ideas

    My cats stay clear of the chickens as they have been pecked before and they leave the chicks alone because a momma hen is vicious to a predator she deems a threat to her chicks

    Is it wrong to take chicks from a broody hen?

    I too took the chicks away but it snowed here today. The hens would not have been happy cooped in my basement. I live in Maine so as soon as they had to leave the nest it would have been too cold even inside the coop with a brood heater.

    Chick hatched this morning and disappeared. I’m devastated.

    I have lost one that left the nest early and was killed by another hen(bad mother too) unfortunately it happens. I'm nursing a new hatch now whose mother attacked it. It's doing well so far but it will be a testy few days yes I pulled the other 2 eggs presently hatching.

    No they didn't but as long as they're pullets I will just leave a comment on them selling EE as Ameraucanas. They came directly from the hatchery.
