    Please Help! I don't want to lose a chickie! 2 Week Old Pullet Chick with limp?

    Happy to report that little Beatrice is up and hobbling around. She's still quite tired, but she's putting a bit of weight on her foot now and hobbles from one side of the brooder to the other. R&R seems to be just the remedy! Thank you, again, OldHen!

    Please Help! I don't want to lose a chickie! 2 Week Old Pullet Chick with limp?

    Sounds like I'll be adding eggs! I think I'll separate her for a couple of days; Susan and Charlene are being jerks and seem to purposely follow her to step on her head. Thank you, again, for all of your insights! You all are awesome! Sincerely, Amanda

    Any tips on the run out of pallets? My father mentioned rats are going to be a problem since we're in the side closer to the city. I want to keep these babies safe once they get outside, but also spend a slittle money as possible.

    Please Help! I don't want to lose a chickie! 2 Week Old Pullet Chick with limp?

    Thank you OldHen! I was trying to go by what other threads had said, but they were so conflicting. Do you think I should make her a little sling? Or just sequester her until it gets better? She keeps moving out of the way but it seems two of the flockmates are deliberately stepping on her (Susan...

    HELP! Is it bumblefoot?! Chickie won't walk

    2 week old ISA Brown, eating and drinking fine. No pasty butt. Right foot slightly more pale than the left, three grey spots (tinier than a pin prick) on the pad, and she refuses to put weight on it. She's about middle-sized compared to her flock mates, but they've started pushing her around and...

    Hi there! New urban chicken farmer here in Johnston! My husband brought home 13 one week old chicks last week from Tractor Supply and I've been taking care of them. We thought they were 13 ISA Browns but it turns out one was a RIR mixed in. We had a bit of a scare the first night with the RIR...
