    Listless chicken

    Bad news. I put him out and checked on him about an hour later. He was laying in the run. I thought he was dead, but he wasn't so I brought him back in. He mostly laid on his side and didn't try to eat or drink, this morning he was dead.

    Not sure how to word this question. If a hen is accidentally bred with the "wrong " rooster, how long until successive breedings with the "right" rooster will give his chicks? Put another way, when does the second rooster's genes replace the first rooster's?

    Listless chicken

    How do Checked his crop, couldn't feel it so it must be empty. For comparison, I grabbed a similarly aged chick and her crop was obvious as you'd expect after recently eating.

    Listless chicken

    Hello, I've posted here before, but I couldn't get into my old account. I've got an approximately 2+ month old chick who was active and healthy up until this past week. I've been watching him and the symptoms I've noticed are: Low energy - he mostly sits and will chirp quietly when I'm...
