    4 Week Old chickma king a "new" noise. Could it be the start of crowing?

    Sorry for all the questions, but Im new at raising chickens. So my 3 chicks are 4 weeks old and feathering out beautifully. One came from the pullet pen, the other is an easter egger and what I believe is a black sex link. Black sex link acts like a rooster, but is solid black, no spot on head...

    Help! 3 week old chicks have almost empty crops??

    Yes, they have food and water all day, and since I am paranoid I am checking several times a day. Its just strange that they suddenly when from having fat pudgy crops to almost flat ones. And half the time I check on them they are eating and bobbing around

    Help! 3 week old chicks have almost empty crops??

    They have been completely fine for the past 3 weeks, and are currently showing no signs of illness that I can see. I was playing with them today and noticed that not even one of the 3 have a full crop. One of them has a tiny one and the food can be felt, but it is maybe nickel sized at the most...

    Possible black sex link chick? Possible rooster?

    This isn't my chick, but the closest I could find to what it looks like. The only differences is that the yellow on mine's neck is much smaller and lighter, only a touch of yellow. It still has the yellow belly. Also, mine's comb and beak are way more yellow on top than this one.

    Possible black sex link chick? Possible rooster?

    I know these types of questions are asked over and over, but Im confused. My black chick was part of the "straight run" group made up of several breeds and is now 2 weeks old. The chick tub had several signs for the breeds, but the only sign that could have been the black chicks were black sex...

    babychick has diarrhea? Doesnt look sick?

    Im not sure how to post a photo. But she is that little jumble of different shades of brown. The poop isn't watery runny, just more runny than usual. Kind of a caramel color, not yellow exactly, but definitely has yellowish tint

    babychick has diarrhea? Doesnt look sick?

    So I have 3 baby chicks that are close to 2 weeks old. A gold sex link pullet, I guess what they call an "easter egger", and a black sex link, not sure of sex yet. The little Easter egger has been having loose stools and Im not sure what to do. I have had to wipe her behind twice in the past...
