3 weeks old

I have been noticing that just about every time that I have gone into my ducklings brooder that they are almost always sleeping, and sleeping right next to the water is that normal? And approx. How long do 3 week old ducklings sleep everyday Thanks

Hi all! Really thankful for this community. I have a 3.5 week old olive egger that arrived via shipping with 14 other chicks. The rest are doing awesome, but one little guy (getting a boy vibe) started acting lethargic around 2 weeks old. He’s always been a total loner and would mostly stand...

Hi all. I have a silky that showed signs of wry neck at 2/3 days old. I immediately looked it up, found a lot of info from this site about vitamin e and selenium and began giving it both of these. It cured it but then a week or so later, so it was about 2 weeks old at this point maybe, it...

I have a chick, about 3-4 weeks old, and I'm stumped on what species it is. The store I bought them at didn't have the name of the species and the chick itself has really odd feather patterns, at leadt to me. I has a brown and white feathering atop its back and on its wings, but on its chest it...

I have this barnevelder chick. Around 3 weeks old. Does anybody have any idea if it looks male or female? Is it too early to tell? It’s wings seemed to take longer to grow than my other chick breeds. And it’s legs are thicker. Don’t have another barnevelder to compare it to though so I really...

I have 6 Easter Egger chicks that are all the same age. Almost 4 weeks old. One is just not growing. It's about 1/2 the size of the others and only has a tiny bit of feathers on the tip of the wings. And the feathers it does have look weird. Should I be worried about this chick? Is there...

I hatched a duckling about three weeks ago and it's grown big but maybe not healthy. I've been feeding it chick starter crumbles unmedicated 18% protein from the tractor supplies store. We just bought some new food that's similar but has a duck and chick on the cover - same thing just 20%...

Hello Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what breed you think she is. When i bought her, they told me she was a White Leghorn. I'm not thinking she is. Pics are 1 week old, 3 weeks old, and 6 weeks old. Thank you, Jannene

First time chicken mama over here and we’re loving it! However, our babies are almost 3 weeks old and they’re beginning to feather, but we’re not sure if it’s normal to see so much pink from their skin when they do. They seem happy and never seem to be itching or pecking at their skin. Also...

Right now I have 17 chicks and I need help telling if three of them are male. they are around 3 weeks old. 1. Breed: Americana/Easter egger 2. Breed: silver laced wyandotte 3. Breed: black australorp

Hi! I hatched 5 Coturnix quail chicks. I’d love to know your opinions on if my 20 day old chicks are male/female. Can you definitively tell at just 20 days? One photo is of the five quail chicks chests and the other photo is of the mom and dad which is obvious. I’ve only been doing this a few...

Ordered these eggs online. I was curious if anyone knows what they will look like as adults & could post pics or tellme the name of pattern etc.. Heres photos:

YES! It's still too early to tell...HA! But just humor me??? This buff's comb is quite clearly larger and pinker than the other 8 buff that I have! Although she/he seems to stand more like a pullet at times. Thoughts? :)

These little gals are about 3 weeks old now. Lots of pretty little feathers coming in. 2 New Hampshire Red 4 Silver Lace Wyandotte

My chick who was hatched by a broody hen is three weeks and two days old today. I was looking st other posts on here of chicks around the same age for comparison and I’m noticing that s(he) is a lot smaller than what you guys are posting. Is this chick not growing fast enough? Just small for...

Looking for advice. Two of my 7 3 week old chicks seem to be ruffled and lethargic, eyes slightly closed at all times, still eating, drinking, but no bloddy stools. I know that for a moderate Coccidiosis outbreak it is 1 teaspoon I put it in a gallon of room temperature water and they are now...

I have 5 silkie chickens 3 1/2 weeks old. 3 from My Pet Chicken who are "female" which are the smallest 3 (black,white,buff). I also have 2 that are straight runs from a Silkie breeder, the 2 biggest ones (blue grey,splash) were born 2 days before the other 3 chickens from my pet chicken. My...

This is my first time raising baby chicks so please don't mind if this question is an easy fix I've been super worried about my 3 week old baby chick. She had a rough hatching because it was so dry that she couldn't kick her way out so we had to help her out of the egg. However, she is eating...
