I eventually had to cull both chicks.I figured out that my Chick #2 had a slipped Achille's tendon, but it had gone on too long and there was too much swelling in his joints to get it back in, so I had to cull him.Chick #1 seemed to be...

I'm not entirely sure how many of my hens meet the requirements, so here's what I got:10 hens, 2 roosters, 6 chicksThey are kept in a 20*20 pen, but are allowed to roam the barnyard during the day.They have 2 coops that are each 4*4, but...

I don't know anything about that. It doesn't sound like wry neck, though. If the chick is throwing the water back up, I would definitely limit the amount. You might look around other places to see if anyone else has information for you....

i grew up in metro-detroit, and whenever we'd go to visit my great-aunt in a "richer" area, i'd stand by her privacy fence and listen to her neighbor's chickens that he kept concealed with high privacy fencing. he provided eggs...

ok, so i had one that would fall over a lot and just lay there (i once had to peel him off of the bowl i'd put him in to keep him separate), and i didn't think he'd make it at first, but when he survived the first night, i decided that...

Ok, so I've got some issues with my newly hatched chicks. I have one doing weird head things, and three that have a messed up leg. Most of what I've read suggests that they need B vitamins, and thiamine. I've got a bottle of B-complex,...

Thanks. I hope it clears up. She's really light, almost white, with a few random black spots, and I would LOVE for her to grow up if only to see how she turns out.

I have a chick that I hatched myself with mixed/unknown parentage who is doing something really weird, but is totally normal otherwise. Her name is Trillion, and she hatched out Friday evening and was fine that night, but started doing...
