    Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

    Yes! She made it just fine. I hope your little silkie pulls through as well.

    Swedish Flower Hatching Eggs

    Let me know next time you need some. I will trade you eggs from your flock if you are breeding. I am in North Idaho and travel regularly to MT for work.

    First Time Swedish Flowers

    All of my cockerels show comb and wattles much earlier than the pullets. Super hard to tell until they are at least a couple months old.

    Incubating Swedish Flower Hen eggs

    I have heard of eggs hatching up to 26 days so I always leave them until then but I haven’t really had luck with late hatches myself. I was also told by the breeder I ordered from to do the dry hatch, never again!

    Incubating Swedish Flower Hen eggs

    I incubate mine without making any adjustments and have been hatching them out with Marans this year. Great hatch rates. My worst hatch rate was a dry hatch and for some reason the SFH were the only breed that struggled with that.

    Chicken(s) panting, lethargic, not eating.

    If you think it’s sour crop I would treat them for it. How are they doing today? Any luck getting them to eat a different type of food?

    Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

    The chick is walking today, a little wabbly but she is figuring it out. The skin tag looks like it is drying up. I think it will most likely fall off. I will keep you posted. I’ve never heard of a deformity like the three footed chick. How strange.

    Chicken(s) panting, lethargic, not eating.

    I would quarantine them both, separately and if you have others that came from the same place, do the same with them. How old are they? Any discoloration in their poop? Is the comb pale or limp? Try cooling them down and offering an alternative food source.

    Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

    I got the eggs from a lady in North Idaho who has a flock of blue, lav and black Marans. This one is black. I have hatched from her before and had great hatch rates and no issues.

    Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

    We ended up cutting it, it was a piece of skin that had formed around the foot During development. You could see where one of her toes had developed a crimp because of it. No bleeding or pain though she is still trying to figure out how to walk on it.

    Chicks foot stuck in its bellybutton?

    I just triple checked and there is no opening. The chick fell asleep in my hand while I was poking around at it and moving her foot so I would say it’s also not tender at all.

    No abdominal opening that I can see.

    Help! First time chicken owner.

    My hen ate and drank as normal but began to have labored breathing as it progressed. Early on she was very vocal, started coughing frequently, lost weight and as it progresses she would have to stop between big bites and would labor to breath while she ate. I didn’t know what it was and she...
