    Sexing speckled sussex chick

    My chick is 6 weeks old- can anyone tell me what sex it is? Also, I bought the egg as a Speckled Sussex (in the UK) but I have been told it may not be- does anyone have any thoughts on what breed it is?

    Are candles bad for chicks?

    Hi, does anyone know if it is safe to burn candles around chicks? I want to light a Yankee Candle to get rid of the smell from the brooder ( of course l’ll put it across the room from the chick) but is it safe for the chick to breathe in the air?

Unfortunately, our little darling passed away this morning as she was very weak when she woke up. I agree with you and I do think that if...

    Lethargic chick won’t eat

    Thank you so much that’s so helpful. I also think that maybe she’s lethargic because of her splay leg- she’s not getting enough energy from food so walking could be tiring her and making her sleepy. We will try to get her to eat as much as possible tomorrow (she is asleep now because it’s...

    Advice needed for chick

    Thank you. I have spoken to someone else on here who said it sounds like a nutrition issue rather than a digestive one because her crop is not impacted/sour. I also found the ingredients for the drops (attached)

    Advice needed for chick
