He passed naturally.. I tried giving him some sav a chick but he didn't want to drink it and I just let him lay there peacefully.. I was thinking of putting an end but I couldn't.. I was afraid if I did it wrong he would suffer even more.. So yea.. Was so sad the brooder is so quiet now cuz...
They are cream brabanters.
Update: The lil guy didn't make it.. He passed this around 4am when I checked... I found him laying on his side and panting around 2am. It was heartbreaking to see him suffer.. It's so strange tho because earlier he was eating, drinking, pooping.. Moving around...
Lol I am far from pro. They are doing good. One of them is an escape artist lol the smallest chick is half the size of the other two tho (a lil worried about him). I mean he eats and drinks but he is not as active as the other two and sleeps a lot. He also constantly chirps. Idk if he's cold...
Really?!?! You seem like you raised birds for a long time! I'm glad you stopped by cuz you and Amylynn been very helpful!! I'm so glad for BYC!! :) Awww that's adorable.. Hope mine will do that too! For now, everytime I put my hand by them, they all run from it.. I'm trying to get them to get...
Yes they are!! I have never own chickens before.. I mean I had two parrots before but that was many years ago.. So that doesn't count? Lol so I'm very excited to raise these lil ones..
Thanks!! will definitely try out the hardboiled egg! and yea I was thinking the same thing that his legs are wider, the other chicks look more straight.. so i'll give it another day or two and hope he gains strength in his leg, but if not then i'll make a leg brace for this lil fella.
Mm here's an update on the weak chick.. He seems to be able to stand and wobble a lil longer than before but then he will lay right back down.. I was unable to find sav a chick at any other stored besides a few store that is so far away from me so I mixed in some starter feed/warm water/ a few...
If you cut it.. Did you cut it close to its butt? Well this morning before I left for work he still seems really weak.. But he keeps trying to stand and he does and would walk a bit and then drop back down to its belly.. He chirps and responds...Remember the link you sent me? The article said we...
Baby chick just hatched around 8pm but I had to help zip it and make a bigger hole for it to push out but after it hatched there is something dangling from its butt!! This chick tries to stand but it's seems weak/exhausted and it will lay back down on its belly... But the main point is there is...
Hey! Please help!! Something doesn't seem right with the third chick! Once I got home from lunch I see that it was starting to zip but once off work the membrane dried and wrapped around it, so I help get the dry part off and made the hole a lil bigger and soon after it kicked out of the shell...
Hey! So.. I woke up around 2am to assist the two that pipped the wrong way but as I was chipping away the shell I could still see veins so I put them back in the incubator.. But then guess what happened next?!?! The third egg had so much activity.. You can see the difference between a correct...
