    Help! Pip no zip. Assisted. Blood vessels still showing.

    I had a broody hen leave her nest early. I made a make shift incubator with a heating pad and tub as soon as I realized.

    HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

    Hello! I have been incubating duck eggs for the first time. I placed 6 eggs in the incubator, 4 were fertilized and 2 were not, and then later one of the 4 died, so I am currently left with three eggs.

    Assistance Requested Regarding Straw

    Hello Everyone! I was wondering if there is something besides straw that I can use on the bottom of the chicken coop to keep my chickens, comfortable and warm? Straw is very messy! I'm thinking there must be an alternative that would work better. Thank you so much for any suggestions. :)

    Help! Assist a chick?

    Need some help guys! How do I assist a chick? When should I do it? I think my chicks that haven't hatched might be too weak to hatch by themselves.
