    5 day old chick with leg broken/splayed/dislocated

    It doesn't pop at the hock, but I feel a pop at the hip area! When I tape the two legs together... the leg joint is still turned outward and i can't move the leg into the correct position unless I tuck the leg under the chick and tape around its body. But then it's completely immobile :/

    5 day old chick with leg broken/splayed/dislocated

    What's wrong with this chicks leg? I've had him for 5 days and Monday is when I noticed his leg out of place... It wasn't always this bad. It doesn't seem to cause any pain and I had it in hobbles for a day but when I went to change the wrap it looked like it was worse. What can I do??

    Day Old Prtridge Rock Chicks

    I am looking to purchase baby chicks to expand my current flock, but at my local TSC they're all straight run chicks. Right now they have Partridge Rocks, which is what I really want! Any way to tell what is a Pullet, Cockerel?

    Dead Hens

    I had purchased two 20 wk old hens, an EE & a Maran, about a month ago. This issue started two weeks ago when the temperatures started to drop. I went to let the girls out (all 9) one morning and after not seeing my beloved Peepers (D'Uccle) I returned to the coop to investigate. I peeked inside...

    Looking to incubate

    I know there's 3 Brinsea octagon 20 models... Which one do you think is best?

    Looking to incubate

    Howdy! I'm looking to start incubating eggs this coming year and am obviously a novice... I would like an incubator that will hold around 10-20 eggs. I would prefer an automatic egg turner along with something to control humidity... OR is it better to do it yourself? Any brands that are better...

    Goofy hen won't lay in the nesting box....

    I'm having the same problem with my Silkie hen! I'd love to hear suggestions!

    Whose the culprit?

    I am fairly certain it's my Silkie hen laying the brown egg... My husband says its impossible for a white chicken to lay a brown egg! Also, my old English game is definitely laying a white egg and they're not supposed to!

    Whose the culprit?

    Also, I have larger hands... For a girl :) but I forgot to mention I have 12 week old Wynadotte chicks. But they can't be laying already?

    Whose the culprit?

    Darn! I didn't even think about letting it hatch to find out :) But then no one was siting on it :( It did seem large, but my Silkie is "large" I or her from tractor supply this spring and I don't think she is a full breed.

    Whose the culprit?

    Would you consider her to be Japanese or OEG?

    Whose the culprit?

    Sorry the other post submitted before I got to finish... (My hens just started laying) But yesterday and today I got two brown eggs. I cannot catch her in the act! She lays them outside and so it's hard to tell. The only ones it could be is a White Crested Polish, a Porcelain Belgian D'Uccle...

    Whose the culprit?

    Just my curiosity... I have an Old English Game (?) or Japanese Bantam (?) that is laying white eggs
