I have 3 silkies 11 weeks old, 3 silkies 8 weeks old and 3 red sex links 6 weeks old. It all started with one chick having a closed eye. Well, it's now progressed. All the chicks are sick to varying degrees and symptoms. The symptoms are: having a hard time getting breath, looks like they...

Hello. This all started yesterday morning with my 6-week-old red sex link. She seemed tired and sleeping for the morning, would wake up if startled, but would get up and walk around, eat, drink, but would keep her left eye shut for the most part. She could open it, and would, but she seemed...

I have five hens. One is one week older than the rest and started laying last week! (she's a leghorn) My other four turned 20 weeks old on Sept 2, and my golden sex link layed her first egg yesterday! My question is, when do I change to layer feed? Also, at my local IFA, it seems to me that...

So it seems that I have the same question as Lunachick. "Lucy" is a white laced red cornish. She is 10 weeks old. For the past couple of days - mostly in the morning after we let them out - she has been crowing. She does stretch her neck when she does her crowing. She has been the most...

I have a total of six chicks. I have one white legged hen who is a week older than the other five. The rest are 16 days old. I have a red cornish, who is 16 days old, that keeps attacking the white legged. The red cornish flies feet first into the white legged. The white legged then puffs up...

I'm brand new to this, I've been reading and reading, but I still have some questions! Actually, tons of questions! Thanks in advance for your help! We have five chicks that are currently about 6 days old and one chick about 13 days old. We are building their coop and trying to decide what to...

So my little babies are having the problem of pasting up. I guess it's from have the pine shavings in there for a day. I've tried to get a damp cloth and get it off, but it's very stuck on and seems like a lot. Needless to say, I am not very successful at getting it cleaned off. Any...

Yea! I got some chicks! I got them on Wednesday, so two days ago. They were one day old when I picked them up. The woman at the feed store told me to put cedar chips in the bottom of the pen. I've been reading and thinking that that's not the correct thing to do???? I know that I shouldn't...
