I have a chick trained to only poop on a white paper towel if I was holding her. That worked out great. Until one night when it was pretty dark and she thought my white iPhone was the white paper towel and took a big crap on it. She jumped down to my phone. Lined up just right. Did her business...
I have 5 Serama chicks that are right at a month old. These tiny guys make up for their small sizes with big attitudes. They are absolutely hilarious! I absolutely adore them, so, of course, in my eyes they are perfect. However, I am curious as to the quality from other's view points. I know...
You guys are all amazing! Fantastic job @Raenh on the rescue. Your dedication and persistence saved those babies. Also, @Texag87 for driving an hour and a half to assist and taking care of the babies. Excellent coordination and communication from the BYC community!!! You guys ROCK!
Thank you for the links. I just went back out to repeat the sugar water water/nutridrench combo. She/he gurgled back up some and I didn’t smell anything this time. I tried taking a video to see if maybe someone would notice something I missed, which is likely. Unfortunately, I can’t upload the...
Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it. I think it might have sour crop??? When the poor thing has kind of vomited it has been kind of foul smelling. I’m a nurse so I have dealt with more than my fair share of vomiting. I know human and chicken anatomy are very different. However, I...
I have 6 5 day old Serama chicks. I noticed Sunday night one of them was peeping a lot. I thought it may possibly have been trying to vomit or maybe got choked on a piece of food Sunday night. I only noticed something out the corner of my eye and I’m not real sure what was going on. Around noon...
My baby turned 3 weeks old yesterday. Yours looks to have a lot more feathers and more crest than mine. He/she is a little flighty. I take her outside to play because she is the only one her age. Long story there but she has a mirror and I let her play outside the older baby’s coop every day...
Ok. Thanks. I haven’t had to open the incubator since I put them in there last night. It has automatic humidity control. Just press a few buttons to raise or lower the humidity. After my last few hatched that were disasters I had enough of filling up the different trays to get humidity right...
Thanks again for the replies. I don’t knew when exactly they pipped. I left at 7:30 this morning for a doctors appointment and didn’t get back until 3 this afternoon. I did raise the humidity up a bit. It looks like the membranes on 2 are drying out because they have a few spots that are turning...
