How old will a chick be for it to get out and walk around with mom and other chicks? Right now it is so young it is uncoordinated and sleepy.

Need advice for a new baby chick! Broody mom hatched 3 eggs over a week ago and she was still sitting on 2 eggs some parts of the day and then walking around with the chicks the other parts of the day. I didn't think the 2 eggs were going to hatch....but one did this morning! Problem is that...

UPDATE (with more advice needed!): I’m a nurse and can deal all day and night with helping a person in need...but have a hard time with animals being hurt. It just tears me up. I did remove the rest of her foot and had very minimal bleeding which is a good thing. I cleaned with Vetericyn, used...

Baby was born Sunday and something happened between birth and when we realized the first baby hatched that same afternoon. Baby was way far from the nesting box with mama on top of her. I scooped them both up quickly and put them back. After putting them back I realized I should have looked baby...

Where did you buy these?

I am in Alabama. The lab that is closest to me is in Elba.

One of my chickens is dying with the same symptoms as 2 others within the last 6 weeks. I’d like to take her body to have a necropsy done at a nearby lab that does this here in Alabama. Do you know if these labs typically take walk-ins? Or would I have to call first? They are 30 min away and it...

Yes the one I think it has a large red comb and waddles. It sounds like he’s definitely a rooster. Thanks for the help!

Several times lately, I’ve heard what sounds like one of our 8 week old chicks trying to crow. Is that possible at such a young age? There are 2 full grown roosters in the chicken run near the chick area, so they do hear roosters crowing. I am not 100% which one of the 5 chicks it is because he...

I have a 6 week old chick who suddenly developed a crooked neck last week. It first started out looking like a growth on her right shoulder which caused her head/neck to be shifted to the left. It was fairly hard feeling and I could gently move her neck in the right direction but only a little...

Thanks for checking on her! I ended up taking her to the vet since I just realized I was not equipped to take care of her...she really needed to be sutured up. She is doing great!!! He removed part of her comb that had no circulation, sutured her head, and said her eye will prob be fine. I have...

Thanks! Looking more closely now, her right eye is injured and she has a sliced opening on her head, plus the comb is partly ripped away. What can I do for this????

My chickens were just attacked by a hawk! I ran outside to stop it. One of my girls got attacked pretty good on the comb of her head. How can i doctor her up?! What else can I do for her??

I want to build a chicken coop specifically made for deep littering but cannot find plans! Help! I have 13 chickens

How do I introduce a young rooster to my established hen flock of 9?

For some reason the upload didn't work. Here is the handsome guy!

This is my neighbor's rooster and he is the friendliest! What breed is he? I'd love to get one like him :cool:

OK so this may be a silly question but would feeding them eggshells also be considered grit for them?
