baby bird

I am wanting to compare my keet's development (size) to the average keet to be reassured that it is growing as it should. I understand that there are a few factors that could influence a keet's development, but maybe there is a standard scale one can go on? I have been searching on this website...

The keet (26 days old) showed me in person this morning, just what little savages fowls can be. It caught a gecko and, after knocking it about a bit, swallowed it whole. I already knew fowls to be so, but to witness it just a few inches from my eyes is a little... well... I can't think of the...

We have wild indigenous Guinea Fowl in our residential area, Cape Town, South Africa, and, along with occasionally having to help them out of tricky situations that they get themselves into in our neighbourhood yards, I recently rescued a day old keet which was distress calling from the next...

I already had a forum going for this but it hasn’t got much attention and this problem is still persisting. I have a baby chicken with a ruptured air sac which I have been treating for WEEKS now and it just isn’t healing. We went to a vet first thing and she said to just drain the air a few...

Hey everyone!! Just wanted to start off by saying, long time no see! If anybody is curious as to why I haven't been on BYC for a while/ where my sister has gone, shoot me a DM! Anyway, yesterday we got chicks from Tractor Supply. We have one Americano, and she's mine! I'm actually not sure what...

Ducking is moving its beak..and I can hear little peeps.. Hopefully not shrink wrapped as I accidentally knocked the lid off.. Just my luck!!

Hello! My name is Olesya and im fairly new to the chicken life. Well doing it on my own anyways. Ever since i remember growing up in Ukraine my grandparents always had chickens. Now here in the states we got our own coop and chickens. About 5 weeks ago we got addition to our coop we got baby...

I’ve got a Gambel’s quail here, maybe 2 days old. It was in my yard brought by a local outdoor cat so I’ve got no idea where it came from and we haven’t seen any quail wandering around our neighborhood at all these past few months. I went to a nearby nature center (it’s like 5 minutes away by...

(I only got one photo then went to work sorry) He’s a bantam with a yellow head and grey body. Feathered feet. Maybe one of your chickens looked like him when they were a chick?

I got this baby bantam (maybe 8 weeks old?) from a friend of mine. She(I think it's a she at least), is constantly shaking or trembling, with very weird comb. She acting very different compared to my other ones that I raised from 2 weeks old. She's always hanging around Majesty (easter egger)...

So I don't know if this is where to post this, but it is a chick and it doesn't fit squarely into any other category. I found a baby bird on my patio. It's not a chicken, I'm not sure what sort it is. It probably fell from the broken light that birds have tried to make nests for in the past...

Has anyone had a chick survive yellow sac? Not 100% sure that’s what she has but it seems that way.

I stoked by tractor supply to buy feed today and of course stopped by to watch the babies. I noticed once was being yanked around by the others, like they were trying to tear her apart by her toe. I asked if I could buy her separately (instead if there usual minimum of four) as I'm already at...

I think i have a problem.. my silkie hatched a chick yesterday and when i took the rest of the eggs out to see how far along they were. one egg looked 10-15days!!! will my hen lay on it that much longer?? im so worried. it looks so close :( I dont have a incubator. shes laying on the egg and the...

Hey I just wondered randomly... if a double yolker egg is fertilized are there two baby’s (like twins) ? I think twin baby birds would be so cute 🥰

She’s a day and some time old. I’m new to all this and can’t tell if she’s Spraddled. I know she has curly toes but what do you think?? If so what should I do. She can’t stand on her feet. And walks around like that. (Third picture)

Hi there guys! This is the baby silkie hand raised after my sister mistakenly incubated a silkie egg while trying to incubate guinea fowl. It’s about 6-8weeks old. I’m thinking it’s a male as the hair on the top of its head is more combed back. but if possible I’d like more of an opinion from...

I have a 5 day old baby chick with a swollen leg. Started to limp today and is getting worse. Just got back from the emergency vet clinic. They didn’t know what was wrong and told me to go to a bird specialist vet. I’ll post pics. Please, does anyone know what’s wrong with it and what I should...

Electric went out due to hurricane and expected to be out for some time. On day 17 of lockdown. So, with no warm bator and only one store bought egg with a chick inside to hatch, had to keep egg in my shirt....you know where as boobage cleavage is warm and when made delibrately humid, viola...
