Hey guys, recently I bought 4 chicks from rural king, not knowing a couple weeks later i would be adopting a baby chick with a broken leg. Now the chicks are older and the baby chick is still, well, a baby. I moved the chicks from the brooder to their new coop, but the baby chick is inside our...

By the title, you may think something bad has happened to my baby chick, and that’s exactly what happened. My three-week-old Silkie-Turken baby chick was reluctant to come out of his baby chick coop this morning, which was very strange considering he is always the first baby chick out (he’s a...

First time chick mom! I brought 6 chicks home a little less than 2 weeks ago (so they’re somewhere between 2-3 weeks old) and based on research was under the impression that they could stay in a brooder until about 4-5 weeks of age. We’re working on building the backyard coop now - it will be a...

I have a chicken I’ve had since June of this year. She’s my absolute baby and I really don’t want her to go through this pain/die but vet is just not an option in our area. I’m pretty sure this is bumblefoot but still not completely sure. (Pictures attached) Any advice on care or any stories of...
