I recently acquired two new chicks to add to my flock. A Red Shoulder Yokohama and a Crevecoeur. I have them both in the same brooder and I noticed that within what seemed to be minutes, the Yokohama imprinted on the Crevecoeur and vice versa. The Crevecoeur is substantially bigger than the...
This is my second time raising chickens. Last time was about 6 years ago. I recently got 5 New Hampshire reds.
The first time I raised chickens it was full summer time here in Mesa, AZ. 100+ degrees during the day. I raised them all outside. They did great!
This time I have them inside because...
These 3 were sold as white jersey giant chicks at a local feed store, bought to train my turkey poults how to eat and drink. They are now a little over 2 weeks old..one was a grayish yellow baby and is getting white wings, no feathered shanks. The other two chicks with white on chests and white...
So I bought for welsummer chicks and a cuckoo Maran chick the lady said they were all pullers but felt it best to post here and get some opinions from others.
Hello! I have 5, 2 week old chicks and I was wondering what I could put into their brooder for enrichment. They are tearing their brooder apart foraging around and I would love to give them something to do. I'm looking for safe ideas for them, I was thinking maybe cat toys would be fun for them...
I have a 2 week old baby chick who is SUPER tiny. Her brother and sister are also 2 weeks just a day apart but they are growing normally. Her wings are so tiny with no feathers yet. She has troubling eating her food (chick starter) and trouble swallowing (only one piece of food at a time). I do...
hello!
I’m a new chick mom and I have some baby silver deathlayers. They will be two weeks tomorrow and seem to be thriving finally. They were shipped to me from out of state.
I check their vents daily at least once if not twice as i suspect a few died from that. One still has his vent get a...
hi! I’m a first time chicken owner living in a neighborhood with close neighbors. After a lot of research we ordered some buff Orpington ladies from cackle hatchery for their gentle and quiet nature as pets/egg layers. They’re about 2 weeks old at this point. I’m looking for some advice on 2...
I'm posting my story here as a warning to others who may not consider squirrels as predators.
I had 20 two-week-old chicks in the coop separated from the older layers in what was supposed to be a secure area. A red squirrel managed to squeeze through a very small space above the door, killed...
My chicks are two weeks old today, I think. Have two separate bloody bums and not sure if these two things are related.
I found a few dark poo’s and a chick with what appears to be blood on the edges of her fuzz around her vent. Pics of poo and booty below.
And another chick who appears to...
Ok, where to start...
My family recently decided to get backyard chickens, and got out first flock of four pullets on March 30th. It has been not even 2 weeks and we are now down to two... kind of.
Our EE chick was quickly found to have a really horrible cross beak, and thanks to the help of a...
I'm sorry if this is a redundant question. My Buff Orpington, Maggie, hatched out three chicks 14 days ago. She, and her chicks, are confined to a large (24'x30') run with coop attached (6 nesting boxes in coop). I have 4 leghorn pullets that are in an outside brooder and they are a month old...
I have 2 1/2 week old 8 baby chicks and some of then have no fur/feathers near their gizzard/chest area. Is that normal during this age or is it something I need to take seriously? Some times I overfeed them and I can see their little gizzard pops out like a little ball without any feathers :D
