crying

Recently I hatched 19 silkie chicks from my birds. All them seem to be doing very well, except for one. This chick, about 2 days ago (They are 4-6 days old, this chick is 4 days) began distress calling. It has not stopped that I can tell. I have inspected the chick multiple times since...

Hi all, wondering if this is common. I got 6 quail recently, they're 4 weeks old. I got a rabbit hutch for them which has a large downstairs area and a ramp to an upstairs area. I keep their food and water upstairs and I taught them all to use the ramp within a day. Nowadays, they roam their...

Sooooo, these little cute babies are my pets and they frequently come to visit me on my room as you can see. They both like to sleep near me, that's what was happening in the video (and that's why they look sleepy). So, Pepeto (my rooster) did this weird noise (please, check it). Can someone...

Hi - last friday I got 2 baby chicks, a buff orpington and a barred rock, the day the store got them, so I believe they are almost a week old now. They are in a little laundry tote with paper towels and a heat lamp. When we brought them home the next day we spent some time in my yard while it...

So I bought 3 chickens and was told they were all hens. Well yesterday 2 of them started to crow and unfortunately where we live my neighbor won’t allow us to have a crowing rooster. So I contacted the Breeder and she said no problem! Bring the roosters back - I have a buyer looking for roosters...

4 day old duckling, the duck is a call duck. He has a heating pad, mirror plenty of clean water and food. The duck also has a stuffed animal. One night he was okay sleeping but most others he won’t quit crying even tho he can see me. I’ve tried the ticking clock background it has only helped a...

I've had my turkeys(I have 2) for a little over a year now but the one problem I've always had with them is that they always go to my neighbor's yard. I always have to stay outside with them and watch them to make sure that they don't go anywhere. My neighbor has chickens and I think that is...

I am trying to get over a death of a White Leghorn in my family. Any advice? Anyone here to talk?

I have 6 10 week old chicks. This morning I looked in on them with my ring doorbell and could hear one that was 'crying'. Rushed out to the coop and it's my Bella, a Buff Orphington. I picked her up, nothing seems to be physically wrong with her. She's continously making these sounds. I took a...

I wasn't sure I was going to write this but I just needed to get it out, I haven't been a part of BYC very long at all but I've seen how kind and sweet everyone is to each other and I feel this is a good place to talk because there are others who will understand. Just over a month ago we lost...

Hello all! I'm a first time chicken owner, and I'm trying to wean them off of having a light on at night. I had a small nightlight on for them, but I don't think they could see by it at all. They starting making a sort of whining sound, and wouldn't calm down until I sat on the ground and held...

Hello everyone. I have 4 Guinea Keets here that the mother abandoned. I picked them up yesterday morning, a few hours after they had hatched.
