    Bantam chick with eye abnormality

    Hey Tookie, I just wanted to reach out and say thanks for all your help and follow up with our sick chick. The swelling in her eye has almost disappeared completely without any antibiotic treatment. She still has a little nasal discharge, but very minimal. There are others outside occasionally...

    Bantam chick with eye abnormality

    Hey Tookie, the other chicks seem to be fine for now. I know there is a 10 day window to watch for others to develop symptoms. The affected one has been eating and drinking normally. We did a flush of the eye last night and applied more Terramycin and Neosporin. The swelling seems unchanged, so...

    Bantam chick with eye abnormality

    Hello Eggcessive, I'm loving all these egg puns. That did cross my mind too. I do have some injectable Tylan 50 that I can give instead. I do not plan on breeding or selling eggs from the flock. I will treat them accordingly and deal with it as it comes on again. Thank you for the reply!

    Several baby chick deaths

    Hello Ursuline Chick, That is a great suggestion. One of the reasons why I decided to add to my flock was because I only had roosters (no hens) from my one incubation attempt. So maybe this time around, I will get a few hens that can do this part for me. Although I must admit, I may miss the...

    Several baby chick deaths

    Hello Lemon drop, I didn't dip their beaks in water immediately like I should have because I didnt know I was suppose to do that. I tried to compensate for this on day 3, after I had already lost a few, and I think it may have led to one aspirating -so I was scared to do it again. However, I...

    Several baby chick deaths

    Hello, I have successfully incubated and raised a few chicks in the past. When I was starting out a few years ago, I learned that some of the mistakes that resulted in chick deaths could have been avoided, had I researched more. Well, I decided to grow my flock last week (since I was blessed...
