    Possibly sick or wet chicks

    I have 2 different sets of chicks and ducklings. My most recent purchase was this past Thursday at Tractor Supply. I bought 12 Cornish cross, 3 sex-links , and 3 olive Eggers, and 2 Peking ducklings. My son is the primary caregiver for them, but had to work the past couple nights, so my 14...

    Can anyone tell me if my chicks are roos or hens. I bought 8 chicks and have 7 left. One for sure turken, 4RIR, 2 pullet, and the other yellow one.

    Yes I've moved. We have coyote here too but we have a better set up. They killed mine 3 days after we put them out side in a small coop to get big enough to go in with our big girls we had then. They also eventually got them and our pot bellied pig

    Thanks. Yes we have the 2 ducks in with the chicks. Our main coop has a 19 ft run, so I'm sure the ducks will have plenty of room. I had ducks before but coyotes got them and my other chicks 2 years ago

    I was hoping he'd be a hen. We'll I hope all the rest of my chicks are female. Turk is a turken. Can they be crossbred with other breeds? The other yellowish one was in the same bin at tractor supply. I'm honestly not sure what tractor supply is doing this year because before they had their...

    Thank you. How can you tell it's a male? Since Turk has missing feathers naturally it's hard for me to do the tail and wing id

    Possibky sick chick

    Thank You. I just got a chance to get back on here. Sadly she passed later that day. Her stool was normal no blood or anything. I think she was dehydrated because she was small and the others were keeping her from getting enough water. All the others are doing just fine.

    We have coyotes that roam, so we don't let our girls free roam. That's why I got such a big enclosed run. That way they have plenty of room to roam but be protected as well.

    Wow you have a lot going on. We just got a bigger run for our chickens coop. It's 19ft long. My son is going to start putting it together next week. That was when the chicks and ducklings are big enough to go outside they'll have plenty of room. Once they're around 6-8weeks we're gonna section...

    Possibky sick chick

    Two weeks ago I bought 8 chicks and 2 ducklings from Tractor Supply. I had been housing them in a plastic tub with a heat lamp, but my chicks have started to fly a bit, so we moved them to an enclosed rabbit cage. I noticed yesterday one of my chicks was squinting and not eating or drinking...
