    Is turning the eggs important? Shipped eggs.

    I also kept them air cell straight up for the first day I had the eggs. The next day I put them in the incubator for 4 days air cell slightly up with no turning. All the air cells stabilized.

    I believe possibly the other 7 would've hatched but the night the last chick and 7 eggs were in the incubator I made some mistake and it said the temp was only 96 :hit8 days later I finally turned off the incubator and opened one of the eggs.

    How do you know baby chick is through fighting?

    Update: Sadly, he passed away. I am glad he's not struggling anymore and I'm so sad I couldn't make him better. His name was Blessing.

    How do you know baby chick is through fighting?

    My baby chick can't stand up regardless of all we've done, so he is in a chick chair. He is still too weak to get the food and water in the chick chair. He acts like it's hard to breathe sometimes and all he's getting is what I feed him in a syringe. I can see the hock bone and the Achilles...

    Should I use antibiotics? Hen's head looks infected

    Our sick chicken, Lightning, got stuck in the coop with the other chickens. After they attacked her, her head was bald and red. Her skin seems mostly intact, but today she seems to have turned a pale color and her head doesn't smell very good. We've never had something like this happen...

    one chick has splay leg

    13 baby chicks! Three of them made big holes in the shell and stopped. Pretty soon they got shrink wrapped and gluey and stuck. I admit to helping each one out. But one had curly toes and splayed legs so this is what I did for her. One of her leg joints seems bigger than the other but she...
