    Chicks not following momma

    Thank you. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and that’s the conclusion I came to also. That makes me sad but I’m so glad my momma is such a good little momma. She’s working her tail feathers off to keep up with these 4 crazy chicks. I have them in the run with the gate closed. It is 10x10 and the...

    Chicks not following momma

    I’m not sure. We got them from TSC and the employee wasn’t sure. I read that they needed to be less than 5 days old. When I asked if they were she said “we sell a lot of them do I’m sure they are.”

    Chicks not following momma

    Five days ago we introduced 4 Wellsummer pullets to our broody hen. She took to them immediately. She’s a good momma but seems to have chicks that don’t follow her or listen to her clucks. They will run to her if I come near or if they are scared but they don’t follow her. Yesterday she took...

    Injured foot

    She is both trying to walk on it and holding it up (alternating). She seems better today actually so fingers crossed. No to all other questions. We bought her at TSC so I don’t think they vaccinate. We fed medicated feed for 4 weeks. We live in a very small town and I don’t really know how/...

    Injured foot

    I came home to find one of my 8 week old leghorns alternating between standing on one foot and laying down. When she moves she has an obvious limp. I examined her foot and leg and saw nothing. I’m new to raising chickens. Do they tend to injure themselves and does it heal on its own? I have...

    My baby chicks are sitting

    Let me see if I can get a picture. I’m saying it’s sitting but that may be how they lay down. We are née at this. Feet are pulled under and body is flat in the ground.

    My baby chicks are sitting

    My chicks are almost 3 weeks old. We switched from no medicated to medicated feed yesterday, after reading an article saying they needed medicated feed for the first month of life. I came in from work today and noticed them sitting in the brooder. I’ve never seen them sit before. Each time I...

    Question about Wyandotte chicks

    Hi. I am new to raising chicks. Before buying, I did lots of research and had a whole plan. I went to my local TSC and discovered they had only 1 of the types of chicks I thought would be good got me to raise in Louisiana. I purchased 8 chicks in total. I was told by an employee that any of...
