It didn't make it, but thanks to y'all for the info! We'll be better prepared next time.

This one might be abandoned, but anyway. He was very cold when I found him and did not flock call. The adopted mother didn't seem to care that he was gone. He is perhaps three weeks old. There was some drama about his mother that I shared in another post, he's been doing fine otherwise. His...

So we had two mother peacocks. One had two chicks, the other had four. The one with two ended up in the cage for babies, but the one with four is roaming free. Long story short the four babies somehow found their way into the cage with the other mother and seemed to have adopted her out of the...

Feel free to reply with the best advice you can, but it is fine now. The chick was accepted back after leaving it for a few hours with the mom. 😊

One of our peahens chicks hatched today, but at some point fell or was pushed from the nest. It was fluffy and dry and cheeping, but mom was making no move to respond to it. I returned it by the mother (without touching) and it sat there, then became interested in me. I'm worried that the chick...

No pics, probably should have. Been providing oyster shells but not on a daily basis. No sneezing I THINK but I'll ask the fam too. I'll look into those two last sicknesses, but it kind of lines up with what mom was thinking, that she just had a genetic issue or underlying problem. Thank you...

Her eggs also were coming out soft shelled and squishy. After she died we cut her open to see if she...

Mhmm. Haven't technically SEEN him mate but he crows every morning and we get eggs with extras inside em. I'll share a better pic tomorrow when there's light again.

Yes, I'm sure haha. He's the brother of one of our smallest chickens. Pic might not be a good one, I'll share another tomorrow if I can.

Thank you! I will be reading this for sure.

I thought I had, maybe it didn't go through. Anyway, this is scruffy. He's very friendly ☺️

Heyo~ Snow Briar here. I've been using this site and it's threads for a while now, sure has helped me out with problems I've faced being a new chicken owner. Thanks everyone! My family has been raising chickens for well on two years now. We started out with Sapphire Gems and got ourselves a...
