Hello everyone! I hope I am not being too optimistic, but I think today was a good day for Lucky.
Thanks to everyone's knowledge + advice, my husband picked up crumbles and grit for her. I went to Wal-Mart and picked up poly-visol vitamin (thanks, it was in the exact location you mentioned in...

Hello...here's the latest.
I checked the bag and my husband told me that she is on grower pellets. The feed came in a big feed bag without any information on it.
This afternoon Lucky ate some bits of peaches and drank tomato juice and seeds. I gave her a little bit of gatorade, but she didn't...
Sorry, I thought I had this listed under Emergencies...
She's about 3 months old and in addition to regular chick feed that you buy from the feedmill, she eats crickets, bugs and grass. As of this past week though, she has only been eating chick feed and crickets that we give her by hand since...

She is now chronically sleepy and can barely keep her eyes open. She could be in the middle of eating and then within seconds fall asleep. Can she have...

CAranchgirl, THANK YOU for answering my questions. I didn't know the eggs hatch underneath the mother hen! (I didn't think they could breathe) I will wait until they all hatch (let's hope) and then will separate them from the rest of the gang.
Again, thanks to everyone for your help. I am so...
Thanks for all the helpful advice! I am glad we checked, the one broody hen was sitting on eggs that weren't fertile (Araucana...Easter Egg chicken + bantam rooster) We had a feeling they weren't mating. However, we did have better luck with the smaller hens laying eggs that were fertilized...
Hello! We have 4 hens + 1 rooster. Two of the hens have been sitting on eggs (we believe some are theirs + some are the others). It has been about 2 weeks...
We'd love to have baby chicks, however, we're not sure of the process. First, should we continue to let the hens sit on the eggs in...
FREE TO A GOOD HOME! We have 3 very handsome roosters that are 3 months old (purchased as chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery) that we must sadly part with... (we thought we were getting all hens!)

They are all healthy and happy, just boys...
We recently found out that we now have 4 more roosters! We gave 1 away to the farmer down the road, but still have 3 more! Any ideas on how I can find them a new home?
We now have 6 hens that are 3 months old and we'd like to double it to 12. (We are fairly new and purchased bantams and...
Hello again. I am really worried about Yuyu. It will be a week soon and she has gotten weaker. She was pecked in the head severely and her one eye is almost always closed. Thanks to everyone's suggestions, I cleaned her head, rinsed her eye with saline, and gave her electrolytes in her water...
Two days ago I walked out to find my favorite chicken, YUYU, practically pecked to death. All of the feathers are gone on her head and her comb is pecked severely. She was bleeding so badly that I am worried her scalp was torn! I separated her from the group immediately (14 girls). Anyway, she...
