Question: I had 4 silkie chicks hatch (yay!), and one was struggling due to a creamish bimp on her vent. The next day, I checked on her in the incubator and she was dead, and her intestines had come out.
Is this common?
I've never heard of anything like this happening before. It kind of freaked...
No, my eggs are not from crossed silkie parents. I actually ordered them from a breeder ( You actually may have heard of her, the lady from Huckleberry Farm ), so the eggs should be genuine.
(By the way, sorry to hear about the dog-attacking chicken incident, that's sad!)
