There seems to be an egg inside this prolapsed sack… brand new 22 week old layer. What do I do?

So my sister in law has a flock of 9 leghorns - all from the same clutch, a little over a year old. Only one of them has a severely dirty butt and may not be laying as they only got 7 eggs today and normally get 9. My question is - if only one chicken has this dirty butt, is it more likely a...

@Overo Mare @Rhodebar Lover at 9 weeks, this is a cockerel right? BSL / RIR mix

@Overo Mare @Rhodebar Lover @anynody lol Is this little 8 week production RIR (both parents are production RIR from TSC) I think! Was wondering if someone could tell me the quality of the parents described above and If this one little offspring is a boy. Posting pics of mom, dad, and baby

Way too early, I know…. But, I have heard the chipmunk pattern EE / OE are easier to sex early based on pattern? I know people are going to say check back in 8 weeks, but I’m just asking for educated guesses from some experts. TIA!

If I hatched a bump of eggs that had exactly the same dads and the moms were all production leghorns - is it safe to say that since 4 of them have huge combs already that the ones with the smaller combs are pullets? the first pic is of two 3 weeks olds with small combs, compared to the second...

So I noticed a very small roundworm in one of my leghorns poo and decided to worm my whole flock. We’re using liquid goat dewormer (safeguard), and decided the easiest way to do our flock of 23 by mixing the safeguard with water and mixing it into their food; we give them this in the evening (I...

Ok, so this chick has been struggling to hatch for 48 hours; finally did today but I had to assist by breaking apart pieces of shell - I was careful not to tear off the membrane. Problem is, the umbilical cord is still attached to a glop of grossness to the bottom part of the shell, and the top...

So as some of you know from my recent hatching posts, I just hatched some little chickies who are a cross of a production red rooster (labeled RIR at TSC), and 6 leghorn hens (also production type from TSC). Does anyone else have this cross, and if so can I see pics? Possibly at different...

When people post incubation issues, I often see marks on the eggs. Are they tracking the air cell or something? That’s what the circles look like... but I’ve also seen lines and other writings and was wondering what’s the deal with that... we’re incubating a second round and all I do is candle...

So I crossed my white leghorn hens with my RIR cockerel.... 7 out of the 40 hatched, and they are ALL white. So that means all boys, since they should be sex linked? Below are pics of moms, dad and three of the babies (they are all the same color). What in the literal F*** @Overo Mare

This was attached to the chick that literally just hatched 2 seconds ago, then fell off as it was trampled by another chick that’s 12 hours old... is this a vital part of the yolk sac that needed to be absorbed? It literally burst out of the egg with the thing attached.

So excited, but a little concerned bc the other ones haven’t started to pip yet (well, 4 others are but there’s about 30 more lol.

I feel sorry for my poor 3lb leghorn that laid this egg....

Hey guys 👋 So I have 6 leghorns and their Man (a RIR rooster) penned in a very large kennel bc they are SOOO flighty and would constantly fly out of the run and end up on my front porch and poop everywhere. Also, I have tons of hawks and they are so tiny and white that they simply need the...

Is this a prolapsed vent? Pullet pictured is about 6 months old and now deceased. Looks like a weird egg thing next to the vent. This is not my chicken, posting for a friend.

How do I keep my chicken from scratching a wound that I finally got to stop bleeding... she just recovered from a hard molt and had either been knocked down off her pedestal or the rooster was super excited to have her back. I know she needs to be separated to avoid canabalism... but how do I...

So my 4 y/o ISA brown is finally declining... she has been on the outs for awhile now and after constant separation and trying to fix all sorts of issues, I began to realize more than likely she is suffering from a reproductive disorder since that’s why the symptoms looked like they were...

Back to being my gorgeous BSL... making up for lost cuddle time. Poor baby looked like skeletore for a few months. just wanted to show off my gorgeous girl 🥰

So I am planning on selling fertile hatching eggs from my RIR cocks / white leghorn pullets (both approximately 6 months old) so people can hatch their own red sex links. Is there a particular method to preparing the eggs for sale? Do I store them in a particular way, and how soon after laying...
