    Hatched new chicks and I'm wondering about inoculations?

    Thank y'all! This is the way I felt also about vaccination. Figured I'd only need to if I had an issue. THC had told me that their supplier vaccinates at 2nd day of hatch. I never asked what for but the lady knew the answer right away. Either way I'm just glad to know the information y'all...

    Hatched new chicks and I'm wondering about inoculations?

    I have 6 adult chickens I bought from tractor supply back in February and I hatched out 11 chicks 2 weeks ago. My sister brought to my attention that I should vaccinate them. I never thought of this before. I know tractor supply said they vaccinated my adults prior to store delivery but I've...

    My first hatch

    I have this chick that has the beak through quite a bit but I've never noticed it move. I gently pushed it inwards just to see if it'd move but it did not. Is it gone?

    Thanks y'all! Ok. I have the inside of my coop finishe just not the outside. I framed in a nesting box just not finished with it yet. Everything cost n time n seems like I'm always short of 1 or the other. Will they be alright in the coop if they do try n lay until I finish the nesting boxes?

    Does this mean I may start getting eggs from her or them. I have 7 hens & 1 rooster (hens-2RIR,1Australorp, 4 look like mix Australorp/RIR maybe, rooster-Australorp). I estimate they are all about 4 months old now. He started grabbing them randomly by the neck about 2 weeks ago. He then trying...

    No feeling below the break above her knee

    I made mine with a fabric shopping bag, duct tape, and a storage tub. I cut the holes like the drawings show (had to make the poop hole lil bigger). I had issues in the beginning because it was a little too low so make sure she is fully elevated to where her good leg is unable to push off...

    No feeling below the break above her knee

    I've had Sheila in a sling suspended n her cut is fully healed n she is lively as can be. It's just I have found out while she was in her sling, she cannot feel anything below the break point. Poke or touch anywhere on the good leg n she acknowledges the smallest touch. Nothing for the other...

    Chick with hurt leg! Please help! I have a little boy who loves her!

    Just so you know for future reference because I just received this advice for my lil girl that is injured. It's working perfectly. My girls thigh is broken though. I have taped a stick on it to stabilize her thigh (you can't see in the pic).

    Help please!

    I made this out of a fabric bag, my tote n some duct tape. I had to raise it a hair since this morning because she's feeling a lot better today n was able to use her other leg to raise up n get her hurt thigh hung n her bottom not hanging out the poop hole. Up 2" n she's fully suspended now...

    Help please!

    She is feeling better today. I can see she is trying to move her leg now. It looks as if her thigh is broken because she's moving it now. I originally put some neosporin on her gash n it looks as if its healing. I'm not going to try and picture the wound right now. That is a wonderful idea to...

    Help please!

    I'm a first time chicken owner since the end of march. I built a brooder for them until I got the coop built n everything was fine but at the top where the incline on my roof is, it just angles to the rear. I had a gap 4" wide that tapered to nothing by the time it reached the back. It's an...
