That yellow one looks so cheeky!

https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/step-by-step-guide-to-assisted-hatching Here is the link for when and how to assist in hatching. I think it might be time to help the stocky chick but double check. For the ones that are pipped, left them be. It can take about 24hrs from pip to zip. As long...

He passed away. :( there must have been more wrong than what met the eye. The femur made an S shape right before meeting the hock. The lower portion if his leg was turned so that the too of his leg and foot were parallel to his body. After posting i had gone in to check on him and he was no...
