    I don’t think it looks larger? I think it’s just more visible 😬

    Bald Butt

    Picked up this little lady today, she’s eating drinking and very active. But she’s got a bald butt. No irritation and her poops are normal and firm. Is this just her down falling off before the feathers come in? I haven’t seen it on the others so I just want to check. Thanks in advance

    Quarantine period- how long?

    Hello! I got 3 week old chicks from our local feed store about 2 weeks ago- they are set up and still indoors. Today I just picked up a single Salmon Faverolle of the same age from another farm. I currently have them separate- how long should I wait before I introduce. I purposely got them at...

    Delivery gone wrong. Trying to revive the survivor.

    She unfortunately didn’t make it- I was waking up every hour to check and give her water, but she passed between 3-4 😔

    Delivery gone wrong. Trying to revive the survivor.

    Thank you! My TS is only selling 6 chick min. I may just go for it. These babies were for work the order was for 100+ (One box of 50 is “lost” so sad.) and I wasn’t intended on getting my own spring flock quite yet! She moves, quite squat- but spends most of her time under the heat plate. I...

    Delivery gone wrong. Trying to revive the survivor.

    Help! We had a shipment of chicks get stuck in delivery and all arrived dead but one- she wasn’t great but she was fighting. I am trying to keep her alive. She is drinking (with electrolytes) but not eating. Pooping and chirping. She made it overnight but seems a bit weaker today. Tractor supply...

    Hen or Tom ?

    You think it’s a hen! That’s great. She is a broad breasted I knew that, I also unfortunately know her life will be short due to her “meat bird” status.

    Hen or Tom ?

    Turkelton was a rescue after injured as a chick. “He” was destined for thanksgiving, but was definitely pardoned due to “his” ability to snuggle! My husband and I are starting to wonder if we have a Turkeltina. “He” is about 3 months to the day. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

    Crooked Chicken?

    I didn’t see these at my Tractor Supply- now I feel like a dummy, am I able to give them 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 Tablet B-Complex that I purchase at a drug store?

    Crooked Chicken?

    She is about 4 months, they eat nature’s best organic Chick starter/grower. Treats mostly fruits and veggies- but they free range during the day.

    Crooked Chicken?

    If they were vaccinated against Marek’s as chicks could they still get it?

    Crooked Chicken?

    Yesterday I noticed one of my girls holding her head funny, I’ll post photos to show (the best I could capture). In the photo with 2 she is the one on the right. She is behaving fine- eating, drinking, yelling at everyone. Let me poke and prod and I saw nothing visibly wrong. Any thoughts?
