    Please help. Chick with broken leg

    How long does it usually take for them to build up their strength? After I posted the questions last night I found and tried the bandaid trick. He seems a little stronger today. He can get to water and food but prefers to sleep lying down alot. Thanks for the replies

    Please help. Chick with broken leg

    Hello all, I have a chick hatched yesterday who can move around a little but doesn't stand up. His left leg is to the side a bit when laying down. I'm pretty sure it must be broken. Is it humane to try and raise him or will he be miserable and not heal correctly? I don't want him to suffer...

    Orpintons and eggs

    My BO took more like 8 months too but get ready. My hen loved plenty to fluffy hay to lay her eggs in. I tried to use a ceramic egg to choose where they laid but they found a bail of hay they liked better than their coop (we let them free range all day and put up at night, we also have a great...

    Crossing Buff O Rooster with Light Brahma Hen??

    Hello everyone! I just hatched my first batch of chicks from my first batch of hens I raised from chicks. Some of the chicks are yellow while others are buff colored. All have feathered feet though. Is the color indicative of the sex of the chicks or are they randomly taking color traits...
