    Week Old Chick Breathing Problems

    I've been wondering about the pine shavings, myself. The temp is right around 80, and they seem comfortable with that. I must plead ignorance with feeling the crop. I don't quite know what I'm feeling for, on this little chick. I compared to some of the others, and she may feel a bit...

    Week Old Chick Breathing Problems

    Helol all, I noticed, this morning, that one of my chicks was not acting quite right. She seemed to be swaying, forward and back, ever so slightly. As the day went on, she started opening her mouth at the same time and, now, she's emitting a sort of "squeeking" sound. It's not her normal...

    stumbling chick

    So, I hatched a sweet little Sulmtaler chick yesterday morning. It is bright-eyed and alert, but hasn't been walking well and the problem seems to be getting worse. Recently, the Little One has been shaking it's head back and forth whenever it tries to take a step and then stumbles backwards...

    First time hatch and I'm FREAKING OUT!!!

    Thank you for the advice! I'm feeling much calmer now. :-) It seems like it's not fully covering the pip, but I did pull the vents for more air. Thanks again!

    First time hatch and I'm FREAKING OUT!!!

    Hi all, The internet makes it seem like if you look at your incubator wrong, all your chicks will die, so I've been pretty stressed through this whole process, but we're finally to hatch day and have our first pip! My current "freak out" is over the plastic sheet which the thermometer is...

    Ameraucana Roo?

    Yes, We were told Swedish Flower. Her being a mix of something else would not surprise me. Let's just say, our initial foray into Chickens has been an eye opener into human nature, as well! Here is a close up of her, a few weeks ago:

    Ameraucana Roo?

    Okay, I took some more pictures this morning. I also spent some time looking at pictures of Easter Eggers (now that I know the right breed!), and I'm feeling more and more like our "Fancy Rosebud" is a roo. Though, no crowing, and it seems like maybe the tail feathers should be farther along...

    LOL, We have a Fancy Rosebud (our easter egger), Cherry Blossom, Princess Alli, Snow Blizzard and Steve. My husband named that last one. ; )

    Ameraucana Roo?

    Whoa! I stopped getting notification of new posts, so I just saw most of the responses tonight! Sorry for my silence! I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow, as I'm STILL not sure! I appreciate the input on Easter Egger over Ameraucana; I don't think the person I got the chicks from knew...
