    Lame Barnyard Baby Bantam

    I have a barnyard mix bantam chick that hatched in the incubator early this morning. It is having a hard time walking. It can't extend it's right leg out very far and just scoots around in a circle as it tries to walk. Can I put some kind of a splint on it to help it use its leg better?

    Does my Chick have a virus?

    They have not been exposed to any other birds. I have been changing their food and water every day. Their water does sometimes get pretty dirty with all the droppings and such. I have recently raised their lamp up pretty high to try to wean them from the heat and have noticed that where their...

    Does my Chick have a virus?

    I have 14 six week old chicks in the brooder. I have been so proud that even though this is my first flock of chickens my chicks have grown up trouble free. That is until a few days ago my delaware hen started acting kind of funny. When she walks she holds each leg up for a second before she...

    Is it normal for 1 week old chicks to have diarrhea?

    I have been noticing a lot of diarrhea droppings in my brooder since yesterday. At first I thought it might be my 3 week old chicks but then noticed that it is from at least one of my 1 week olds. It seemed like my 3 week olds went through a couple of days where they had diarrhea at about 1...

    Can you breed a white silkie with a blue silikie?

    That thread helps a lot. It sounds like the babies could turn out to be just about any color depending on what the white silkies actual dominant color is.

    Can you breed a white silkie with a blue silikie?

    I have a young white silkie chick and a young blue silkie chick. I think the white one is starting to look like it might possibly be a cockerel and the blue looks like it could be a pullet. If they were to breed when they got older what would the chicks look like? Would they come out blue...

    You're right! I better not get them mixed up. My kids will be upset with me. My son has already claimed the EE. He named it Pichu. After a pokemon.

    Efowl.com chicks arrived today! PICS including extra chicks

    I was very pleased with Efowl. They shipped out of Boulder, CO and have had really good customer service. I like how you can order small quantities of multiple breeds and not pay an arm and a leg. For my 10 chicks (all of different breeds) I payed about $40 including shippling and ended up...

    Efowl.com chicks arrived today! PICS including extra chicks

    I have pretty much decided the dark yellow one is a NH and the 8 extra red ones are RIRs. They said they are technically st run but most likely will be male. To top of my day with my new chicks I decided to go get two more new chicks from a lady who was selling chicks out of her garage. I...

    Efowl.com chicks arrived today! PICS including extra chicks

    Maybe I should seperate the Silky. The only problem is it is pecking at it too. I guess it would be better than having them all pick at it.

    Efowl.com chicks arrived today! PICS including extra chicks

    My order of chicks came this morning from Efowl.com. I ordered 10 chicks and got 8 extra packing peanuts. I talked to Efowl and asked themif they had any idea what the extra chicks are. I ordered all pullets except the bantams that are st run. They said the red ones are most likely RIRs or...

    We just got our day olds today, and the silkie keeps picking at her feet feathers. Her one foot is bleeding. I put vapor rub on her feet but it doesn't seem to be helping. What should I do???

    What Breed & How Many for a Newbie?

    McMurray Hatchery has a meat-n-eggs combo special that is 25 pullets (10 various good egg layers & 15 meat birds) for about $52. Shipping is probably about $10. That way you get both meat and egg layers for a good deal and don't have to bother with trying to figure out what breeds to get.

    Mixing chicks with chicks.

    I have two three week old chicks and am expecting an order of new chicks tomorrow in the mail. I am planning on seperating my chicks for at least a week but the three week olds are probably at least twice as big as the new chicks. I would think if your chicks are all less than a week or so old...
