I’m using shavings. The temp is 90F

I have new chicks two of them are breathing with their mouth open and have runny noses. One of them is more lethargic now. I have separated them from the rest. The others don’t have any symptoms and are eating good. I hatched them myself and 4 months ago their parents were sneezing and had runny...

Rooster I’m not sure can you show a pic. Since they are still young the pecking order isn’t fully established. In fact it might even do a 180 and the americauna might be the one to get bullied.

His legs are a light pink color. And he does have a small crest on the back.

Here is a better picture of his come if that would help.

That doesn’t look like a Rhode Island Red to me. Mine were a lot darker and the tail was mostly black.

Got this little guy today at my local feed store. I saw him and couldn’t resist buying him. He is very small and active. Love his crow. Do you guys know what breed he might be the guy didn’t know where I bought it.

Two buff orpingtons one black Wyandotte and three mix. Gamefowl/Easter Egger and RIR/Easter Egger

After almost a 20 minute operation the one that is 40 hours has been removed from his shell. The reason if delayed hatch was due to the membrane being stuck to him. I placed him back into the incubator he is very tired but breathing. His bigger test now is to survive. I’ve decided to give the...

To a human who can thermal regualte your house is warm. But to a chick that can barely keep itself warm, the house might be bit chilly.

Are they constantly running around your kitchen? Lol. They might have ingested something that upset their stomach. Give them a day or two. Is the one that has diarrhea looking slow? Or is he active?

The two final eggs in my incubator have pipped and started zipping. Now they both just stoped and have been there. One for around 40 hours the other for maybe a bit over 24. U think they are shrink wrapped. Since I opened my incubator to take out the chicks without realizing that the two had...
