    Chick with possible twisted leg/slipped achilles tendon

    I have a buff brahma bantam chick that is 5 days old and has seemed to have hatched with a deformed leg. I looked up what it could be immediately and kept coming across splayed leg, so I tried hobbling her and doing "physical therapy" using a drinking glass. The more I read about splayed leg...

    How Long After Internal Pip Should You Assist

    Hi there! My distracted Mom brain forgot to write down the date I set the eggs (it was a very last minute decision as they were the last eggs from my favorite hen who left us tragically on Christmas Day). I know I didn’t set them right away, but I don’t remember waiting all that long either...
