Is it normal for a newly hatched chick to still be attached to the shell by an umbilical cord? Will it be able to get free on it's own or do I need to help it???

These look like a great idea, however the ad comments that chickens will only take off the top and move on when they have plenty of grazing space and will only scratch until they dig everything up if their space is limited.. well, mine have the whole 2 acres to graze in, but only want to scratch...

Amen to that Cluck! I don't take vaccinations either nor will I add medications to my birds. All my birds are healthy and strong, Like you said, the key is cleanliness and good diet.

I have 3 Pekin ducks, 1 drake and 2 hens.. they are funny little blokes... They wander all over the place, leading our gander around on a goose chase,,,lol. They LOVE the mud for some reason and dig in the yard. Nothing major, it looks like aeration holes in your yard. Love bread. We got ours...

I need some help.. I have 6 guineas, 2 males, 4 females. Starting about 3 weeks ago, they started to become very aggressive towards my chickens. Yesterday I was working out in the yard, when one of them took off after my little hen that was still recuperating from a dog attack. He actually had...

Chickens are very docile at night. They certainly knew WHEN to get them.

Cluck, it's the law of nature.. your voice never sounds like you to YOU! LOL. But seriously, this is an AWESOME incubator!! When you were tilting the tray, does it automatically tilt back and forth or were you hitting the switch several times to make it tilt? Not sure how that part was...
