In NEED of ADVICE

[mommahen6]

we've had chickens for about 2 months now. we were given some & bought some from a chicken auction. my question is that we have incubated 25 eggs, 9 have hatched and are doing just fine. Now there's 3 more that just hatched and one of them has a red-ball hanging from its vent. None of the others were like this! WHAT DO I DO, OR WHAT NOT TO DO?!?!?

Sounds like unabsorbed yolk. It will absorb and be fine.

Owning chickens is full of scary stuff! But you will get thru it. Good luck with your new babies!
