This is how I found my hen, Nugget, in my chicken coop tonight! Not sure how long she’s been like this. It’s 36° outside right now and it rained a lot yesterday. He feet are very red and look like they’re missing scales. She ate a little food when prompted to do so. Could she just be very cold...

This duck is about six months old and he was injured when I got him him resulting in the leg that goes up. But the other side, I believe he was stepped on, sticks up in the back more than it should. I’ll add a video, and listen to it with sound on because I am talking about what I see with him...

The first day I went and he was laying on his back in the coop, he was fine the day before, so this was very odd to me. I pulled him out and he was very wobbly, he stumbled and seemed like he struggled to walk. Well he started to get better, but then his leg stuck straight forward and we could...

I went to feed my chickens this morning and she was on her side with her left wing straw led out. I assumed she was stuck in the mud because it rained recently, but when I picked her up she didn’t try running from me. I put her down and she could walk. Her wings are droopy, but she is eating...

Hi, I have a Cayuga duckling that is about a week old named Mac (Mackerel). I bought her from Tractor Supply. I had put her with another two ducklings in a small box so that I could clean their cage. Well I noticed tonight when I checked their food and water that she was leaning a little to the...

I cannot for the life of me tell which of my chicks are male or female. They hatched 8 weeks ago and they just all look the same to me. Minus the one with the leg issue 😂 Anyway, I have a hen with a really long tail that seems to be the mom of quite a few of these babies which confuses me. None...

I bought her in an Atwood’s in Oklahoma. She is black and yellow and her legs and beak are spotted. She also has a little bit of hair that pokes up at the back :)

At the end of yesterday, Day 21, I candled all of my eggs. I found two out of 13 that I could see movement in and were definitely still alive. Well, something in me told me to leave the other eggs in there. And I am glad I did, this morning my mom called me into the kitchen yelling, “you have a...

My last hatch began to hatch day 20, I did the exact same thing this time and there is nothing! No pips and not peeping. Day 21 is starting in a few hours, I’m not positive what time I set these. These dang eggs are going to give me grey hairs -_-

I have only ever incubated chickens, so I’m not sure if guineas should look like this. Are these two eggs dead? The first two pictures are the same egg, the second is a different. They have dark spots that don’t look like embryos. I’m thinking the last one could be a blood ring, or at least the...

It’s currently day 18 and I kept my incubator at 50-55% humidity the entire time, I live in Ok. What humidity would be ideal for lockdown? I have it at 75% rn, but I feel like that is way too high.

It’s day 17 and I have three eggs with a blood ring. The first one I saw when I checked goes all the way around the egg in the middle. When I checked it the next day the blood ring is like it’s not attached to the shell and moved around when I turned the egg unlike the day before where it...

What should I do about this? I separated her, but she wants to go back with the others. She’s able to move around and everything, her leg just concerns me. This randomly appeared a week or so ago, and I’m just worried about it. She can right it, but then she slowly rotates back until her leg is...

Just bought them from Atwood’s in Ok. Someone said the patterned one is either a HW or Cream and white runner. And I promise I am just letting them swim around for a bit because they needed to be cleaned 😂

It’s day 15 of incubation and my humidity dropped from 55% to 38% overnight. When I came to check I immediately brought it right back up. Now I know the humidity is high, but I read that in Oklahoma my humidity should be about 55%-60%, I’m not sure if that’s actually true, but I am keeping it...

I have a hen who has laid eggs like this two days in a row now, is this something I should be worried about? If so I will go and try to figure out who’s laying them, but I just want to ask. When I shine a light on it, it looks like there is no yolk.

I am using a Brinsea Octagon 20 Advance with the auto cradle, and when I had lifted the lid a few times to add water my incubator for some reason has fallen from the cradle 2-3 times :/ I know this can hurt the chick and I only checked one egg right now and it has a blood ring. I’m going to...

Hi! I got this duckling from Atwood’s in Oklahoma, it is pretty yellow, but has grey/silver accents. The last two pics were when we were bringing it home and the first is it in its cage. I adjusted the brightness on the last pic to better show the face pattern, it’s grey. Maybe if it’s obvious...

I have a chick that hatched on or around March 1st. I just opened the brooder to check on them and her leg is twisted almost backwards. She doesn’t want to walk on it as much either, but she can use her toes. She is sitting on her hocks quite a bit though. I don’t know what to do about this...
