    Help! Pip no zip. Assisted. Blood vessels still showing.

    I had a broody hen leave her nest early. I made a make shift incubator with a heating pad and tub as soon as I realized. She has successfully hatched one chick and was taking care of it but left the other eggs too soon. This one has a pip and I could hear it chirping when I found it. I patiently...

    Egg smashed day before hatching. Do I intervene?

    I need help knowing whether to intervene or if there is anything I can do. I have a hen laying on eggs. 2-3 of them are due to hatch tomorrow. I looked in there right now and saw this under her… it looked more like the egg was smashed than the chicken was hatching but I’m not sure.. I have six...

    Sex and Breed guesses?! Please

    Who wants to play the whos a roo game with me?! I’m not new to owning chickens. I’ve had chickens for about 5 years. But I’ve always gotten “lucky” and never gotten a rooster. It was just a preference not to have one. I wouldn’t mind having ONE this go around but now I’m getting a little...

    Bloody poop— 3 day old chicks — help?

    Got baby chicks yesterday. They all seem to be doing fine. Except I just saw a shaving with poop that looked a little bloody (pictured). Should I be worried, if so what should I do about it? Coccidiosis? The chicks are probably 3-4 days old. I have Corid available. Is that acceptable to give to...

    Is this a rooster?!

    Yeah I guess I am… I also just assumed that they told me that there was a 50/50 chance of the eggs being male or female and I thought it wouldn’t be likely that all eight would be hens… and then it seems like the eggs are fertilized, so I thought we must have a rooster but I also thought that I...

    Is this a rooster?!

    Can you explain why it’s a female? I had a broody hen hatch 8 (mixed breed) eggs (not her own). They ALL look like females to me but my eggs are now fertilized so obviously atleast one in the bunch is a rooster. This and one other was the only one that I had suspicions of. I thought for sure...
