    Showgirl chicks with weird growth/spots on head PICS Included

    Could they be burning there bear necks on the ecoglow? or maybe the sand is irritating their skin?

    Chick hobbles arn't working (with pics)

    Our chick was born with a minor splayed leg and we have been trying to treat it with chick hobbles since it was about 2 days old. Its almost a week old now and it hasn't gotten any better at walking when we take them off to change the band-aid. It walks better with the band-aid but I'm concerned...

    runt chick with possible splay leg? can you help me identify?

    Well i used that kaytee formula last time and i was told by many people on here not use it for chickens. Apparently they have some law suits and stuff against them for putting "for all birds" on the bag because it really only has the right nutrients for parrot like birds. I was using it on the...

    runt chick with possible splay leg? can you help me identify?

    ok, its about 2 days old. I think its splayed leg and not slipped tendon (i looked it over and saw no swelling but i'm not 100% certain). All i know is that is one of its legs and it is kinda twisted out to the side like you can kinda see in the photos that i took last night. It doesn't seem to...

    runt chick with possible splay leg? can you help me identify?

    well i managed to get it on. i'm hoping it gets better or atleast doesn't get any worse this poor chick has been through alot how long does it usually take for the legs to heal properly? I know i may need to re-apply the bandaid a few times

    runt chick with possible splay leg? can you help me identify?

    Well we just tryed. he toilet paper thing was like impossible and we figured out the bandaid isn't sticky enough to hurt it. problem is though i am having the hardest time putting it on. Does anyone have some helpful advice? Its so difficult to keep its legs at the same height and turned in...

    runt chick with possible splay leg? can you help me identify?

    Long story short, i hatched this one bantam sultan chick that had a really hard time hatching. it had shrink wrapped and was stuck in the egg for about 48 hours. I helped it by bringing it into a steamy bathroom and getting it out of the shell (it was most of the way zipped but didn't have the...

    Help! Zipped chicks are stuck, been over 24-48 hours been trying to keep them moist!

    Well its like a dried scab stuck to where the yolk sac would have been absorbed. I know it absorbed the yolk sac, but it has a white/scab there. It was blocking some of its vent at first so i just had to clear it so it could poop. It doesn't seem to be doing to well after i cleared it with warm...

    Well its in the brooder with the others. Ive been giving it poly-vi-sol and I'm still trying to teach it where the food and water is. It seems to like to cuddle with the other chicks. It isn't as balanced as the others and is alittle weak and falls over alot. Its umbilical chord has dried to its...

    Thanks for responding. I gave it some poly-vi-sol a few hours ago and i think that helped it alot. I thought it was ok leaving it over night but i just wanted to make sure . I would hate to wake up to it dead after working so hard to save it .

    The chick is walking around and seems to be looking better. Its umbilical chord is still drying up and its still not totally fluffy. I was planning on leaving it in the bator over night, do you think this is a good idea? Saturday was day 22 for this chick, it started its pip on day 21 (Friday)...

    Pedialyte or gatorade??

    I have used gatorade on older chickens and it works great, but i wouldn't on chicks. I think the salt and sugar content in gatorade would be alittle too much for a chick. Everyone recommends a drop of poly-vi-sol or pedialyte should work on a baby chick.

    Ya it does chirp now and then but i don't think it can get up to walk just yet, it does try though. I'm waiting for it to recover and dry off over night, then i can give it grow gel and poly-vi-sol. I normally don't like to interfere with hatching chicks that much, but i felt like this time it...
