    Sick Chick

    One of my thirty 8 week old chicks has diarrhea and has for the past 5-6weeks. I started giving it electrolytes as soon as I noticed it was sick but it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t seem to be lethargic and eats and drinks regularly as far as I can tell. Any diagnosis or suggested treatment...

    What is this and is it serious?

    This chick hatched yesterday, the white wast matter and a growth looking thing are still attached to it.

    What can I feed a day-old chick?

    I don't have any chick feed, what can I feed them? I wasn't expecting to have to keep them overnight, since I am selling them to a neighbor. They hatched today and while I know they probably won't be hungry right now, I would like to give them something just so I don't have any problems.

    How long can you leave chicks in an incubator?
