    How to make a chicken stop laying eggs?

    I have a young pullet who lays an egg almost every day. She does fine with it but she has a massive hernia on her side which was caused by a ruptured air sac when she was a chick. She’s seen a vet and it’s not life threatening as long as it isn’t punctured. She basically has her intestines...

    Hours after hatch chick has a blood sack

    Please be patient with me. The egg came from my aunt, first time we tried to hatch one of her eggs. The chick grew healthy, strong veins and movement throughout the entire process. On day 20, the chick pipped and after 24 no progress. Another 20 hours passed and the chick poked a little more...

    Herniated Umbilical?

    I have two turkey poults who hatched last night and today, I'm worried they both have herniated umbilical as I've read up on that a bit, but this is my first time experiencing it. I'm not sure why both would have it, since all of my other hatches this month have been really good. Two weeks ago I...

    New chick has sac hanging out

    This is my first time hatching and something like this happening. I've searched online and not sure what to do. When the chick came out it had poop at the end of the sac and it look to be attached to the egg as well. It looks like it's coming out of the cloaca, should I try pushing it back inside?

    Fresh silkie with umbilical cord hernia maybe?

    Hello! I just had three silkies hatch yesterday morning and one had a hard time disconnecting from its egg due to the umbilical cord. Cord finally disconnected from the egg but I am afraid the chick gave itself a hernia. This chick was very active in the incubator and did not want to stop moving...

    Swollen “Belly”

    Hello everyone! My female welsh harlequin, Sugar, has been looking a bit puffy lately. I noticed it earlier in the week, but lately she’s been walking a little slower/wobbling. My friend also saw her stumble a little yesterday, but she might have just been tripping over the grass or something. I...

    Hernia prognosis in hens

    My hen has a hernia under her vent. I’m aware that there isn’t much to do for her except surgery (no) & also aware that she may live comfortably for years. So, my question is for those who have experienced waiting out a hernia with their bird. How did the bird eventually end? In a mess of...

    Herniated Chick needs help! (graphic photo)

    I had a chick hatch that got wrapped up in some extra goo/cordage which caused a slight hernia in the navel. After cutting it loose, I put it in a tupperware container lined with a wet washcloth inside the incubator, figuring it would correct on it's own. Then I left for thanksgiving. When I...
