    Bad Behaviors/possible calcium deficiency?

    I'm just going to lay it all out there, and I appreciate in advance any responses. There have been a number of issues with our flock that we have been dealing with for a few years now, but to no avail. In dealing with the issues, I think we're just putting "bandages" over the outcomes but not...

    Chicks hatched with unabsorbed yolk!

    It appears that my broody hen "helped" two chicks hatch today by pecking their shells away after they creating the first external pip. This resulted in both having a partially unabsorbed yolk, one is a little bloody, and one has a head injury (probably from an accidental peck). They are...

    3 questions!

    1. 46/89 of my shipped eggs have detached air cells.. I put them into the incubator in cardboard cartons with holes in the bottom (don’t have a turner) pointy end down. Any chance they’ll reattach..? Should I wait a few days to turn (well, till) rather than 1 day? 2. One of my incubators went...

    Ducklings hatched with Yolk not fully absorbed.

    I had a time crawling all over internet articles that pertain to ducklings and chicks hatching with their yolks not being fully absorbed. Which seems to be surprisingly rare. This may sometimes occur when the duckling/chick is premature. All of the articles I came across had rather sad...

    Clear discharge from vent

    Went to check on the hens before bed and noticed one was acting different. She has clear liquid coming from her vent when she jumped on the roost bar some of it dripped below her and the other hens wanted to eat it? Could this be an egg broken inside of her? And if so, what can I do. Please help!

    What are the Visual Stages of a Fertilized Egg?

    Hello! So, my roo is 6 months old now and I am beginning to get eggs that have a bit more prominent white spot on the yolk. However, the ones from this morning had a rather hard, flat, white disk attached to the yolk by a string. The disks were about a half inch in diameter. It didn't look like...

    We are hatching duck eggs in our classroom in an incubator. Monday we lost a duckling who hatched prematurely (we're assuming - it came out bloody and still had a full yoke). Yesterday two more pipped and then staled. We decided to leave them and give them time. This morning my coworker arrived...

    Yolk-like poop, napping bird

    I recently purchased a red sex link hen with 3 others, just 18 weeks old or so. The one I’m worried about has very odd poos and appears lethargic, just napping all day and not really eating or drinking. She does perk up when I go to move her. I now have her separated from the group in a dog...

    Duck yolk!
