It's definitely dark around there, her and her chicks tend to hide in the bushes I noticed but I don't know if they stay there at night. Also, I am a bit uncomfortable going at night since the neighborhood is not a good area at all and I don't want anyone to think that I am loitering or trespassing.

Hi Everyone, The other day I was driving through North Miami (area where I live close to) back from Walgreens and I saw 5 roosters that have basically taken over a median between these two apartment complexes. They were accompanied by some hens BUT what really caught my eye was a group of...

UPDATE: Mojito was born on April 5th, 2020 NOT April 15th. He will be 4 months next week :)

Hi everyone, I'm logging back on after some months now. Update on my hen Coco, she was unfortunately taken by some foxes when she was broody in the backyard, so now we only have Mojito. He's a silver laced polish, about 3 and a half months old (he hatched April 15th). I was wondering when he...

I bought two polish chicks to swap with eggs out from under my hen after she sat on a nest for 22 days. One of the babies died but the one that survived was the male. He is now around 2 months old and Coco started laying eggs again, but she began to leave him behind to go and sit on her eggs...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to post an update on my polish chick that I had bought for my hen. His name was Ozzy and we ended up naming him Mojito because he grew a pretty gnarly mohawk once he got older. He's roughly around two months now. His mom started laying eggs again so she's been leaving...

So technically, you can give them Gatorade if you don't have anything else, but online it says to not use Gatorade that much because the salt and sugar levels are higher than what a baby chick needs. So I would say use it if it's your last resort, but try to acquire safe electrolytes for them asap.

Also welcome to BYC!:welcome

Sometimes it can be it depends on the situation. It is often used when you buy from an online hatchery since the chicks are a couple of days old and they travel inside a box, you are bound to have a couple that needs an extra boost of electrolytes since they have been traveling in a box for...

Yeah, unfortunately with the other chick, I'm going to have to rehome him in 6 months because he is a rooster and I'm not allowed to have roosters in my neighborhood.

Thank you, yeah I think that's what had to have happened.

No predators, they are inside a back room that we constructed outside of my room which is a back house in our yard. My three cats and two dogs sleep with coco every night in the same room so there's no way that anything would be wanting to get close to the room, let alone be able to, it's very...

it's only been a few days, Sunday was their first day together.

Please read my introduction post, I just joined a few days ago and everything is explained there.

Do you think she could be mixed? Because her eggs have always been small even when she was at her healthiest.
