He is unable to stand

Here is a brighter photo of that helps, thank you

She is chirping and kicking just fine, but has some sack and what appears to maybe be poop? Still attached to her behind. Should I remove? It is getting tangled in her feet when she tries to stand

Had an okay hatch rate, but one of them never moved after it’s initial pip and I have a feeling it was unable to breath and died. But when I examed the chick, it looks to be underdeveloped. There is a whole ball on the bottom of its stomach Apologies for the graphic image

No I cannot

One chick is hatching fine, but I am unsure if this one is making any sound, and there has been no progress for the past hours. And it looks almost blood/foamy. Appreciate all the help, I am a new Hatcher but have chickens

Thank you all. Looks like it is going well as I can tell now. My daughter is even talking to them to encourage them

It looks as if the shell is broken a little, but there is no beak to be seen. I can here them, but is the membrane stuck over and should I intervene?

Good morning, I have a few eggs that are in an incubator with little holes that they have broken through and begun the hatch process. The humidity is only 24%, is this bad, should I open the incubator and add more water?! I didn’t think they would hatch because it’s late for them and now I am...

I know people probably post a ton of these, but you folks seem like the experts so here I am. I have a barred rock chick, now about 4 weeks old. I believe him to be a rooster, but am unsure. They are larger than my other 2 chicks of the same age by quite alot, and they stand tall with a large...

Thank you all. I’ve raised chickens but never eggs, great to learn

Good morning, I just received some eggs from from Meyer's Hatchery. On their website it says to wait 12 hours to place eggs into incubator upon receipt of shipment. What is the reason for this? When i opened the box, they felt cold to the touch and it worried me a bit. They are Buff Orpington...

Good morning all, I have 4 rhode island reds, a little over 20 weeks old. I get 2 eggs a day, so that leads me to the assumption that only 2 are currently laying. Have the other ones just not caught up yet? It’s winter here in Washington if that could have an effect but there are still eggs so...

In a small flock (maybe 4-8 hens), if one were to be lost to a predator or butchered, would the other birds be distressed, mourn, or possibly go cahoots? Thank you in advance for the info! New to chickens, and want to know what to expect if I encounter this and the best way to handle it.

Hello! Preparing to butcher a chicken here in a few weeks and I would like to now if any of you trim the yellow fat deposits on your birds (if theres any) or just leave it for roasting. Also: I heard they taste better than store bought, and opinions?

no. cats are predatory animals. killing it like that is acting out of anger. that's lifes cycle.

it's not too small. This is always a heated subject, and is best 'governed' by health mostly, not chicken feelings. Chickens are livestock. If you keep one as a pet then sure, build it a castle with 1000sq ft and all the details, but in simple, you need food, water, a place for them to sleep and...

Welcome. I'm a 'urban' chicken owner as well. It can be tough with the limited space, law, ect, but very well worth it.
