    Crop Impaction baby chick?

    Yes I have regular grit and chick grit (smaller size) in the run for them. I did try mineral oil and she is passing a lot of droppings which the vet said was a good sign.

    Crop Impaction baby chick?

    It has been rock hard full for at least two days now and one I put her in a dog crate with no food only water. I have not tried any oil yet but will try tomorrow. She’s still trying to eat and drink but seems very uncomfortable always gagging and choking I’m very worried she’s only a baby.

    Crop Impaction baby chick?

    Hello, my Easter Egger chick is almost 11 weeks old and has been keeping his beak open wide and almost coughing/gagging with a large crop - can a baby chick get impaction? They don’t free range since they are so small so I’m not sure what in the coop would cause it? Also still unsure if it’s a...

    Hi! I have my first Easter Egger and they are 6 weeks, I’m very suspicious it’s a male but hard for me to tell since they are a hybrid. Thanks!

    Steele Egger Broody at 7 months

    Hi all my 7 month old Steele egger from Meyer Hatchery (hybrid) I think has gone broody. She’s been sitting in the nesting box all day and yelling at me all puffed up when I open the box. My question is what do I do? No rooster and no intention of adding to the flock at this time (small...

    Steele Egger Hen or Rooster?

    Hi all I got my first set of chickens from Meyer Hatchery on June 24 this year. So far my green queen has turned out to be a rooster, and now I’m suspicious that my Steele rigger is also a rooster. They are 19 weeks today, and it’s definitely the skittish of the group and avoids me for the most...

    Green Queen 14 week - rooster or hen?!

    Oh no now I’m really worried! I’ll post some closer pics when I get home, but now I’m curious why no one thinks it’s a green queen? Is it common for hatcheries to send the wrong breed? All my other breeds are accounted for so she has to be a green queen but I know they are a newer hybrid so...
