    One (ish) day old chick lethargic, diarrhea, laying with wings out, opening and closing mouth repeatedly.

    Hi! I’m Olivia. We just hatched our first chickens! We have, so far, one Ayem Cemani, one Laced Blue Bell, and 8 surprises that are likely a mixture of breeds from a friends flock.

    Building a coop-must haves in NC

    Hi all! We are wanting to build a coop for our freshly hatched chicks. We will have about 8-10 and are located in NC. What is a good size for this amount of chickens? We plan to let them be out during the days. I am wondering how insulated it needs to be for a climate that varies so much...

    Chick hatched this morning. Had red sac that was probably 1/2 inch, I had a feeling he wasn’t going to make it but I gave him some time and put him in a little container to keep it clean and give him some time.
