I have a weird problem what should i do View attachment 1404833View attachment 1404834
Can’t find a shell anywhere

You could see if one if the mommas will take it in with her others. It's smaller obviously but if they don't pick on it I would think it would be ok.

If not then brooder and look for more. Maybe mommas in the weeds somewhere.

What the??? Where the???

No shell at all???

Who is mama???????

If you cannot find mama you will have to brooder that bebe.

My other mom was trying to take care of it but her chicks are roosting already

I looked everywhere can’t find anything anywhere. Only thing i can think is one of the other broody hens hatched and ate the shell

If another mama is trying to care for it, maybe let her? Or is her babies roosting a problem?

Maybe brood it yourself and see if a mama appears with more babies and you can introduce this one back into the mix before it is a week old?

IDK, but the same thing keeps happening here and I'm sick of it. I want 65-75 degrees w/ a light breeze. Is that asking too much.

That is what i think spring should be like. It was 87 in Danville where i was shopping today!
