3/4 Of my chickens are dead. RIP Peep, Zelda, and unnamed little black chick. :( She scratched my dogs nose up pretty bad though, which doesn't surprise me. Even as a chick she would show agression. Not a roo, but she sure acted like one. Long story short, either she got out or he got in...

Theyre four weeks old. The power went out today an the didn't seem cold, but they were confusd about why is was dark. I thinjk I'll try putting them outside.

My mom suggested I turn the heat lamp off, since its 69 degrees inside, to see what would happen. They started chirping loudly and huddling together, so maybe not.

I know of someone who hatched 20, 19 came out female. They were very happy.

There are no other birds, so that wont be an issue. Ill see if I can get pics soon.

My Buff Orpington chick will run over to me if I stick my hand in the brooder, jump up, fly a little bit, and peck at my elbow before just running away then trying again. Does anyone know why she might do that? I should also note they probably haven't been socialized properly, but I hate...

My two chicks are four weeks old, very unhappy in the small plastic bin they are currently in. I know they'd be much happier in the coop. They are also loud and stinky, and we'd be glad to have them outside. It's in the 60s to low 70s at night, higher durring the day. They've started getting all...

They were cold, so I lowered the lamp and they were better. Chick starter feed, and shredded newspaper bedding, since now they're 3-4 days old. I had a thermometer but it didn't work very well, so now I'm just kind of watching them. They sleep under the lamp, but when they're awake they run all...

Thanks. I cleaned it off just in case, but I'll be sure to continue checking. Also yesterday they were extremely loud, but today I haven't heard a peep. Should I be worried?

I've had my chicks one day now, and they didn't poop much yesterday, or really start eating until last night.This morning they've been pooping more. I picked them up to look, and it doesn't seem like there's pasty butt, but it looks like there's a little but stuck on the bottom of theyre...

Sorry, somehow ended up with a double post.

Yeah, unfortunately. We had ordered four instead of three, in case something happened... Personally though, if our laws allowed it, I would get wwwwaaayy more than four chickens.

They're about 2-3 days old, im guessing, since USPS took 2 days. 1 didn't make it, but the remaining three are doing great. How often should I check on them? I keep getting up every tie I hear them peep... actuay now theyre being too quiet witch makes me worried... Im gonna go check on them for...

I did have one chick from there die, but I am convinced 100% that was the fault of USPS. Hope you manage to convince him, they have a great service.

Well maybe not drooling. It could of been snot coming from her nose? Do chicks have noses? Anyway, thank you all for the helpful advice. Unfortunately, she didn't make it...but at least I have three, happy, healthy chicks left.

More or less. I also notice shes drooling a lot. Is this normal?

I hope she improves as well. Not quite sure what to do though: She can't move. I can watch her now but I do need to sleep. Should I put her under the heat lamp or by her food/water?

We called, they suggested sugar water.I gave her some, and she is doing a little better. I looked a her more closely and realized she did have splayed leg, so we treated her for that and now she can sit normally instead of laying sideways/
