    White feathers after molt?

    Thanks for the reply! That makes me feel much better. I was worried it was an issue with their nutrition but I am glad it isn’t! :)

    White feathers after molt?

    My chickens just went through their first molt (they are now 18 months old) and they all have fully grown their feathers back and didn’t really have any issues. But, I have noticed that two of our hens (our Mille Fleur D’uccle and our mottled Cochin) have grown in a lot more white feathers than...

    2 month old chicks missing feather under ears???

    Hello! Our chicks have officially moved into their coop a week ago and they LOVE it! Every day I check on them to make sure none are injured or anything, and today I noticed 3 of my chicks are missing feathers under their ears in just a small patch on both ears. This happened to both of our...

    HELP! 9 day old chick sitting and standing weird??

    Hello! I am new to owning chicks and I am worried about pretty much every thing I see my chicks do, and I am concerned about my Mille Flur D'uccle chick. I see her standing hunched over with her head really low when she is sleeping, and most of the time she doesn't lay down when she sleeps. Then...

    Baby chicks sneezing???

    I have only seen the Brahma sneeze again but I haven't seen any of the other chicks sneeze again. They are all super active and alert, and they eat, drink, and poop. They have full crops at night that are empty in the morning. So should I be concerned or is this sneezing fine?

    Baby chicks sneezing???

    Hello! This is like my tenth post about baby chicks since I am new to raising chicks and am worried about every single thing! But I was holding two of my chicks (8 days old) earlier today and my polish chick sneezed. It was super cute, but it also worried me, so I kept my eye on it. Then My...

    Average Chick Weight (bantams and standards)???

    I got a pic of them playing with a mirror toy, it's of the EE, Mille Fleur, Cochin, Brahma, and Orpington (I can send more pics if you need them): The chicks are all eating, drinking, and playing and all of them have normal poops. Only one of our chicks have gotten pasty butt and it was during...

    Average Chick Weight (bantams and standards)???

    Thanks for the reply! That makes sense that it isn't super common, maybe I'm just super paranoid since this is my first time owning chickens! I will just make sure they have gained weight when I weigh them next week. I use a kitchen scale I have on hand which will do grams... a 1lb chick would...

    Average Chick Weight (bantams and standards)???

    Hello? Does anyone know if these weights are normal? I can't find average 1 week old chick weights anywhere so that is why I am asking. How much do your week old chicks weigh?

    Average Chick Weight (bantams and standards)???

    Hello! We have 9 chicks of different breeds and we weighed them yesterday when they were exactly 1 week old. I am just wondering if their weights are normal? They are different sizes since they are different breeds, but I just need to know if they are good for their breed: Bantam Brahma: 40...
