    Scalped to the Skull, Pullet Silkie

    I let the chickens out, and as I was putting egg shells in the compost I noticed someone was in the corner. I got her inside upon realizing she was injured, cleaned her with some soup and water (gently, with a clean wrag) then applied neosporin. She's currently in a cat carrier, and she's...

    Duck sitting on 4 duck eggs, don't know how long they have been there?

    Hey BYC friends, my duck, Cocoa, has been sitting on 4 duck eggs. We found her today in the woods on her nest. I have no idea how long she has been there, but I think she is trying to collect a clutch. How do I relocate her to a safer location?

    HELP! Day 21 Still No Pips!

    I bought a few fertile Vorwerk eggs. It is now day 21 and there are still no pips to be seen. I set up 10 eggs and only 2 have survived since then, (could they just be late hatchers?). Does anyone have experience hatching Vorwerk eggs? Thanks in advance.
