    Sick 1 week old chicks

    Both chicks passed away yesterday and now two of the others in the group are showing the same symptoms with one already to the point of not wanting to eat or drink with both eyes closed and one other having only one eye that looks bad but still eating and drinking. All four remaining chicks are...

    Sick 1 week old chicks

    Thanks. I am not sticking the syringe down their throats, just using it to put drops of the liquid on their beak so they drink it, kind of similar to dipping third beak, but they seem to tolerate this better.

    Sick 1 week old chicks

    The coop temperature is about 90 degrees under the lamp and 84 on the other side of the box. There are three very tiny poops in the box with them. Because they are barely eating and drinking, they are not pooping well. I was able to feed one 3/4 of a syringe of raw egg yolk, sugar, and water...

    4 month old Maran hen or rooster?

    Hi all, Earlier this week one of my friends gave me one of their chickens. He said it was a female Maran who was born at the end of February (based on my research and my knowledge of where this friend gets his chicks I am guessing a feather legged french cuckoo Maran from cackle hatchery). I...
