    Cornish Cross Chick - Lethargic, not eating or drinking, weak

    She died in my lap. Decline was incredibly rapid. I'll add. I had no intention of getting a CX or any other meat bird. I have personal issues with certain things around them. I took her on to try and give her a chance to get healthy, but also to try and ensure she wasn't suffering due to splay leg.

    Cornish Cross Chick - Lethargic, not eating or drinking, weak

    Approx a week and a half old. Weight appears normal for breed. Got a cornish cross baby from Murdoch's. They gave her to me as she wasn't doing well and appeared to have splay leg. She's done great this last week. I check in on her throughout the day. Brooding tank is at my desk so I can watch...

    Adventures of the Five Nuggets

    I just wanted to give an update on the five I hatched out at the end of the year! Side note, all five are doing great!! Week one, I made the mistake of keeping their brooding bin next to where I slept. Cleaned it daily. Checked butts daily. Washed feet whenever there was poo. Week two, I...

    Three day old chicks! What breed(s) might they be?

    To start with, as best as I can surmise, mom is a Delaware x Buff Orpington. Dad is a Copper Marans x Silver Laced Wyandotte. Neither have a firm confirmation for what they are and were given to me by different people. Dad was said to be an olive egger, but as folks know, that's not a specific...

    First time incubating - finished hatching this morning!

    Hey!! First off, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the information in these forums, and all of the education that you guys have put out there over the years. I received a bachellor flock as my introduction into chicken keeping in August and ended up with a flock of hens past their...

    Hello from Montana!!

    Some pictures of the flock, too. The chicks are all from the same parents; the two chickens that are inside in the pictures. Forgive the mess. I've been cleaning things nonstop and the animal rescue calls only slowed to a stop this last month or so.

    Hello from Montana!!

    I'm brand new to chickens! Been around them only a few months now, but ended up with a clutch that I hatched out between yesterday and today! Due in no small part to all of the information I've found in these forums since stumbling over them a while back. I've got twelve chickens and five chicks...
