After work tonight I went out to check for any sign of pipping or hatched babies and no sign of hatching. Since it was dark and I brought my flashlight I candled all 5 eggs which three of which should’ve been developing and ready to hatch but only two were. Three of them were fresh. What...
I’ve got a frizzle chicken that because of her past experience with chickens she is an honorary duck and has decided to hatch out three duck eggs. She has been very good at sitting on them everyday and today is supposedly hatch day. I candled them a week ago to make sure they were still alive...
You can’t see the bump now that it’s fluffy but idk if that’s just cause the feathers are thick or it closed I’ll keep an eye on her and hope she does ok
The skull looks open and all I can see if Luis. Now that it’s fluffed up you can’t see it anymore. I have a couple polish hens and a silkie roo. I don’t think it came from one of my polish hens but it could’ve possibly been from my silkie roo. I have another roo who is the top dog but my silkie...
I hatched a duckling last night and let her dry over night in the incubator. I cuddled with her this morning to keep her warm before I could clean the brood box and introduce her to her two sisters. They’re maybe two weeks older than her. They seem fine with her not being too mean or scared of...

I just bought a polish chick today who isn’t standing or walking. She just sleeps and lays down. If one of the other girls steps on her she’ll slide over and they push her to food and water. She has little hard circles where it looks like she lays on her legs. What could be wrong and will she be ok?
I got a chick about a week ago and noticed she was limping. There’s not a ton of stuff I could find on it other then if she can get to food and water she’ll be fine so I left it. She does kind of get stepped on but nothing bad she doesn’t really walk more of a hop around. I was looking at it...
