my welsummer chick who hatched with an open navel: but was oh so adorable healed and grew up into this lovely pullet: she laid her first egg at 20 weeks, hers are the ones in front on the counter. in the green egg carton were laid by black copper marans welsummer & BCM when they first...

hehe probably a silly question in retrospect but it just looks like the wind could get in between there!

Lovely birds!! Can't wait to see their chicks! Pepper is beautiful, I usually dont even like frizzles, I feel bad for them LOL do they have any trouble keeping warm? j/w I have not dealt with them personally, but they are attracted to food. Leaving eggs in the nest might attract them(?) You...

legs different lengths (problem leg is longer) resting after the torture The VetRap came yesterday, and I made her a chick chair. The crooked leg is splinted and wrapped in VetRap, the legs are hobbled together and she is suspended in the chick chair. The leg is bent horribly to the...

oh and.. I believe that the dark purple areas to the left and right of the navel are painful. normally the skin is pink. she seemed to squeak when I would touch those areas with a q-tip but otherwise was very calm in my hand. her poops are normal. she is on electrolytes, garlic, kale, mustard...

thank you.. i was hoping you would help me.. this chick was from the hatch that many babies died at almost full development. :'( of 8 that went to LD 2 hatched. the rest appeared to die around day 19. maybe 2 died day 16. I have all the eggtopsy pictures if you are good at that kind of thing...

it was pink though.. I hold her every day and it didnt look like this :( if you compare the pink skin of her vent, that is the color of her skin normally Quote: okay thanks :( I only have 2 chicks and they go absolutely crazy when I separate them from each other. I keep trying to slip...

pic of her stomach - black spot is the dried up navel I dried to take a pic of it fluffy but you couldn't see the skin, this is the skin and feathers with AB ointment on it. where it was pink, it is now dark colored purpleish her leg angle I think I am going to leave the leg brace off and see...

can someone help me right now? I am freaking out my ameraucana girl has a small black shriveled up bit of navel/umbilical since she was hatched. I have treated it with antibiotic ointment and waiting for it to fall off. she has had poop stuck around her bum a little bit, but not full pasty but...

Love the babies! Cute cute cute! Also this: my friend got almost 100% with my Easter eggers with her first try. just says SO MUCH about shipped eggs... helps me cope with losses... thank you for the reminder.. :) I think so too :( I will probably not order eggs in Nov-Dec again. I already...

I ended up with 1 Ameraucana and 1 Wyandotte baby. The others look to have died between day 16-19 I think... bleh. Can only do better next time I guess. So thankful I at least have 2 so they have each other :) Merry Christmas everyone!

it always seems to happen all at once doesn't it... we have family drama too.. it hurts because I just want everyone to remember they love each other. At the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters, and your son/daughter will remember that soon enough I promise

omg.. I am so sorry for Prince :( there are a lot of people who do not care at all about show quality... usually it's people who just want eggs, they don't care to spend so much time thinking about all the intricacies. They probably could not even notice what to look for, you know? Heck...

thought of something else... even though I have Wyandottes with DQs I could also keep them around forever potentially, and if I want to try and hatch eggs, THEN go through the trouble of separating the good hens from the DQ hens and put them into a breeding pen, THEN collect and incubate their...

I know exactly what you mean Deanna, and it hurts when the baby you are the most attached to has the most breed disqualifications. I am having the same exact internal struggle as you, and I don't know what to do either.. I have 6 different breeds with standards they are "suppose" to adhere to...

I assure you, there are 2 air cells. Please re-read what I said happened to the egg. The egg arrived with a detached air cell. It healed. I laid it on its side. It ripped. I can see the rip when I candle. There is a very well defined 2nd air cell in this egg. I am thinking it might cause a...

1 BLRW baby hatched right on time, day 21, so my blue wheaten has a friend at least :) Sadly, she appears to have a single comb (not rose comb) so she could not be a viable breeder.... The other BLRWs are still in the incubator (today is d22). I candled them today and they all look full to the...

15 hours, any progress with your pips? :) took this picture of my girl today, I think I'm in love she's so sweet. We have 1 pip on a BLR Wyandotte egg this morning! Their day 21 is today so right on time Wishing another Ameraucana would pop out but losing hope each day that passes

so cute! I love their little fuzzy feet! great shots, I love seeing the hatching progression :) never gets old I moved my little bluebell into the brooder today (she's not blue, but I can pretend) she is crying and lonely, she wants more blue eggs to hatch! I keep checking.. no pips yet...
