I have a question.....ir you buy birds that have been vaccinated for Marek's can they still get it from a coop that once housed diseased birds?

Read the great big mereks manual on this site. It is so well put together.
According to it, the answer to your question is yes.

I just bought this:

so that I can wear it and commiserate with a friend of mine who likes to put on her chicken jammies when she feels bad!

LOVE it !

Take it out?
Why don't they have a biting nails emoji

Can't you just tuck it under her in a different spot and tell her she's a good girl?

It completely hatched one black Ameraucana can't wait till morning to see if any more hatched or BC eggs hatch

Sam I would go take a look and make sure things are going OK.
If you recently moved her she might shove other eggs out.

Use a dim flashlight when you check on her and just make sure there aren't any eggs not covered.

I would be making sure I had a brooder set up and ready to go in case any hatched chicks get rejected.

I just found this cool video. The only disappointing thing is that you don't see the chick after "hatching".

Sesame had a warm soak and I have shared this pic on my other thread. I have never had any trouble so I have got into the girls undercarriage area. I don’t have anything to compare this to, but it looks like it has fluid to me. And feels like it.

Maybe internal laying? Did you feel up her vent?

Congrats on little Speedy making a grand entrance Sam.





Sassy, dang that looks bad. It could be a fluid pocket, an abcess, a tumor or even internal laying.

That sux bad. I am certainly no expert at all with that sort of thing. I do personally not think it is as tumor.
If its a fluid pocket do you think you can drain it?
Do you have antibiotics on hand?
