    Chick gasping for breath

    Thanks for the help. I got it to drink a little but it was too far gone and passed less than a hour later. It's frustrating I'm trying so hard and this is the second one to die. I literally change the bedding and cleaned the waterers and feeders 2x a day. I have had some with poo stuck to their...

    Chick gasping for breath

    This 12 day old chick was fine this morning, now he is choking/gasping/spasming with every breath. I don't know what to do.

    Peeping sleepy chick

    I put him back in the brooder and I noticed he is smaller than his brothers and sisters. He immediately started peeping again.

    Peeping sleepy chick

    I have 8 1 week old bantam RIR i hatched myself (from shipped eggs). I started with 9, but about 4 days ago one died with no apparent cause. About 2 days ago I mixed then with bantam welsummers I bought from a hatchery. The next day, practically all the RIR (but none of the welsummers) got pasty...

    4 day old chick died for no apparent reason

    Hello all, I was super happy that 9/12 shipped eggs hatched. Everyone seemed fine and healthy. No runny poops or pasty butts. They are on medicated feed. It seemed like everyone was eating and drinking although I don't know that for a fact (they all look pretty much the same - they are RIR...

    I have been checking backsides. I'm not sure if each one ate and drank, it is difficult to tell then apart. Now I feel I'm just waiting in dread.

    One of the chicks died today. 4 days old, they all seemed to be eating and drinking fine. I clean the brooder 2x per day and no one has loose stool. Not sure what happened. :(

    Whoops. Anyway I bought this doghouse. It is extremely sturdy and I thought it would make a great coop. I would need to add ventilation, a way to clean it, and possibly a nesting box. Anyone have ideas?

    Whoops I wasn't finished. 9 of those made it to lockdown and all hatched. 9 chicks for $40 is about $4.50 each, which seems a good price. I think I don't buy super expensive eggs again. They did give me a$5 credit toward a future purchase. (Slow clap) I also ordered some chicks. So there are...

    I haven't been able to check in this week because I've been teaching a Harry Potter Camp and also cross country started back up. However I had a pretty good week. I had ordered an English Orpington Assortment from My Pet Chicken. $90 for 7 eggs, 2 made it to lockdown, and only one hatched...
