    How to handle baby chicks?

    I got new babies about 5 days ago. I try my best spend a lot of time with them by talking and putting my hand in the brooder. Should I be holding each chicken even if they don’t like it or should I let them come to me with food in my hand? I want them to like being held and get used to me

    Silkie chickens

    What am I supposed to check the crops for? Some of the chicks that are starting to die will walk then flop onto the ground. I try my best to pick them up before they get trampled. Are they weak or sick?

    Silkie chickens

    I’m feeding them medicated chick starter and I was told you don’t need grit with eggs. The 2 week (3 week this Friday) is at about 82 degrees. The second batch is at their first week this Friday, and they’re at about 93 degrees with a cool side of 81. We lost the small white one in the first...

    Silkie chickens

    hi, I have two batches (two weeks apart) of silkies currently in the same brooder with a divider down the middle. In the two week old batch, I started with 12 and ended up with 3. Of the three, the chick is almost the size of a day old chick. She eats and seems normal, but she cries a lot...

    Weak baby chick being trampled?

    Will the nutri drench affect her negatively in the future? I cut paper plates into halves and made a wall (desperate times calls for desperate measures). What else can I do for her, besides watch her constantly and make sure she eats and drinks

    Weak baby chick being trampled?

    I have no idea what to do about this tiny little silkie chick. When I first brought her home, she was small and made a lot of noise. She has not grown nearly as fast as the other chicks in the brooder. About 3 days later, she is constantly sleeping and doesn’t eat or drink much unless I move...

    Thanks for the reply! Do certain townships have rules about keeping the roosters?

    Legal Matters with NJ Hatching?

    Hey, I just brought home 12 silkie chicks this Friday. The plan was to give up the roosters due to noise and aggression. Just thinking about giving up the roosters in a few months is heart breaking, so I figured if I kept them, I could hatch eggs (since some hatcheries make 10 dollars per...
