    My bantams always keep me amused with egg shapes, had lots of fairy eggs too but not a bullet egg before!:)

    Just wondering how often everyone cleans

    I clean coops, runs and garden daily. If I am off work it's constant pick up all day 😜 I just spend all day with my girls 🤗😀 I have Silkies and Pekins so I think it's more important to keep their lovely foot feathers clean!

    best way to put a chick out of its miserey?

    Yes I agree, I realise many more posts after this had posted/ happened, newbie error ☹️ But I still thought my reply was helpful if this person ever has a similar problem. She may have more chicks and might appreciate this positive advise for next time. I apologise if my post caused any upset...

    4 days into raising chicks and lost 1 - ideas?

    In my opinion, electrolyte solution is very similar to human drip in hospital, if unconscious or unable to eat/drink then electrolyte solution is going to keep you alive, better than just water. It contains essential salts and minerals. I use Agrivite. I know this has saved a couple of my chicks...

    Lethargic chicken!

    Great article, hope it helps the poorly hen. Lots of massage helped when I once had a hen with impacted crop, she was very poorly initially. Not the same situation here but maybe electrolyte/glucose solution will help hydrate and give her strength. I'm no expert but she will need fluids via...

    8 week old chick with odd leg

    I have watched a few times, I may be wrong but I don't think it looks stressed or in pain, the funny noises are similar to my pekin and polish bantam, like funny sneezes, but not all do it. I don't think that's pain personally, I think he looks happy but you just need to keep an eye on things.

    8 week old chick with odd leg

    Panting can be stress or heat in my experience, I'm not an expert at all. Sounds change as well, as chicks age. I think as suggested you need to watch her, see her reactions, if she looks and sounds in pain, if she pants in cool weather... I had a lame hen a while back, she didn't look in pain...

    best way to put a chick out of its miserey?

    I have fed chicks glucose fluid with a syringe, it saved one from dying and it's now about 4 months old. Can also use a kids Calpol syringe. Or drop it of your finger onto beak very carefully and slowly, chick will take liquid successfully like that too. Recipes online for emergency fluids, or...
