I have a flock of 12 chicks (5 of them are 2 months old and 7 of them are 1 - 1 1/2 months old) and some of them have just stopped eating. They continue to act hungry and as if they want to eat—reaching their heads out of the coop to peck at the grass, scratching at the food I give them, coming...
This is JJ. I found her tonight knocked off of her perch and laying with her neck in her back. Her butt was a little bit pasty so I cleaned it best I could, acting normal (eating, drinking, peeping) besides being lethargic. I cleaned her butt and put her back in the coop. Shes been acting like...
2 months old, so still early, I just am curious to see what you think.
A. Suspected roo #1. Comb was tiny until this week
B. Suspected pullet #1, I'm hoping that long tail is a mosaic trait
C. Unsure but leaning towards roo #2. I think this one is a welsummer x mosaic based on the egg...
So i’ve just gotten two month old chicks last night. When i picked them out, they were very lively and active. Its a 10 minute drive home but they seem to be very stressed from the new environment. This is the first time im getting 1-2 month old chicks (usually older or younger) so bare with me...
Hello! So we recently hatched some eggs that were listed as “surprise eggs”. the white/Grey rooster chick is feathered and doesn’t have any features of a Silkie other than black skin. But his feathers aren’t silkie.. like at all. No fluff, just normal feathers. If he was a polish wouldn’t he...
About 2 weeks ago I came home from work and I checked on my ducklings and they all were doing great so I went in and started dinner. After going back outside I noticed one wasn’t acting the same.
She was unable to walk and when she tried she just fell forwards and started flapping her wings all...
Noticed this when moving them outside for the first time, they had only ever been in a brooder so I’m not sure what it could be? And how to treat? It’s just this one chicken. Thanks
Wanted to know when partridge cochin bantam chicks get rooster coloring. I have 9 and they are 2 months old. I would really like if we had at least one rooster. But I think they are all hens.
Hi I have a chicken from an auction I believe is around 2 months old. She or he (idk yet) is getting over cocciadstat and on day 3 of corid water. She is getting better with that and is eating and drinking but I think she has gapeworm. What can I do it's late at night and the breathing has...
So i have 5 guineas and a baby chick im not sure how old are they but id say 2.5 months.. This is the second time they escaped the cage.. (btw its impossible and i mean impossible to catch those guys) so yesterday i cleaned thier cage gave them plenty of food and drinks and a watermelon and oh...
I have 2 ducks who both supposedly hatched April 27th (2 months old?) The white one is a pekin and the brown one is a khaki Cambell. Or that's what they were sold to me as. Can you tell the gender at this age or is it still too early? And what signs should I look for? Thanks!
I have a 2 month old FBCM from an auction. I recieved it severely dehydrated. I have electrolyte and probiotic water I have been giving to her through an eyedropper every half hour. She hasnt eaten for the two days I have had her and who knows how long before. HELP she doesnt move much, has...
Hi there!
I am a first time duck owner, and I have two, 2 month old cayuga ducks. I got them from a fairly shady breeder when they were a day old (chicks not handled and kept in small brooder boxes with dozens of other ducklings, very crowded). These two have always been quite skittish...
I am looking for some help with determining if we have any roos among our little flock. We purchased our 5 chicks from a local farm store, trying to get 5 hens. We were told the breeders had 85% accuracy in sexing, but no guarantees, so we're somewhat prepared for one or two maybe turning out to...
Can you help me figure out if our duck is a Rouen? 'He' is around 2.5-3 months old. I do see a slight blue hue coming in where the black and white feathers are growing in. Unfortunately I have not been able to capture in a picture.
I say 'he' because our Pekin has the true duck 'honk'. And he's...
Help!! I have an almost 2 month old Pekin duck.. Im not sure about the gender. It squeaks all the time (pretty loud) but Also sounds a little raspy and has almost a quack noise like my female duck.. But its not as loud. So I'm confused.. Lol :)
When do they get their drake feathers?
My 10 week old Easter Eggers are so inseparable they will fly over anything to be together ! Here is a cute short video of one flying over the pool and landing in our hand. Usually she lands on our head

They love each other so much!

I have two 2 month old buff silkies my bf and I got from a local feed store that was doing straight run of course. I've gone through many of the posts about silkies and I'm just not able to really see the things I'm supposed to be looking for and I can barely tell these two chickens apart hahaa...
