    Austrolorp chicks...maybe?

    I just hatched 7 Austrolorp eggs that I bought from the local hatchery, and I have raised Lorps from chicks 2x before this. One of my last chicks to hatch looks different from the others: a lot more yellow around his temples and completly yellow wings instead of just the tips, and the yellow is...

    New chick seems weak, difficulty standing up

    I was able to use a q-tip to try to put some Gatorade on her beak, but I'm not sure if she took it in. I also saw her pecking at some of the feed in the brooder yesterday. AND this morning she is up and walking around with the other chicks, normal stance, several steps without any signs of...

    New chick seems weak, difficulty standing up

    It still wears out pretty quick, but it will get up and stand on its legs and walk a bit then lay down to rest. Its got some fight in it though. It keeps pecking at the leg bands I put on the cockerels' legs. When I does stand up its stance looks like its siblings. Does anyone think banding its...

    First time hatching...chicks pipping at narrow end

    Thank you! I think you are right for now to just let it rest.

    New chick seems weak, difficulty standing up

    I decided to assist a chick in hatching after it pipped at the narrow end of the egg and then didn't progress for 24+ hours. I unzipped the shell and left it and it was able to push out on its own. It has been out for an hour at least and is weaker and less exuberant than its siblings were (I...

    First time hatching...chicks pipping at narrow end

    So the 2nd chick to pip didn't progress beyond that for over 30 hours. It was alert and peeping, and I could see it moving its beak in the egg. I figured if it hadn't progressed at this point, it probably wouldn't, so I decided to assist in hatching. I unzipped the shell for it, put...

    First time hatching...chicks pipping at narrow end

    The first one hatched! Only 18-20 hours later. Few. That gives me high hopes for the others that have pipped at the narrow end.

    First time hatching...chicks pipping at narrow end

    Yes, I have read a couple threads on interventions, and assume those are the ones you are refferring to...but links are always helpful in case they are different threads.

    Howdy!

    My name is Jen and I am new to this community but have been lurking for quite some time. I have had chickens for about 5 years, first with a shared flock while living on the back of my in-laws mini farm, and now on our own suburban 1/2 acre. We currently have 3 chickens (Barred Rock "Ahsoka"...

    First time hatching...chicks pipping at narrow end

    Hello new friends. So I am totally new to this whole hatching thing. My mother in law is an experienced hatcher, so I relied on the information she gave me to get started. She forgot to mention that the eggs should be incubated blunt end up.....so we did quite a few "upside down" and now we have...
