We had 3 baby chicks hatch out the day before yesterday and yesterday I was on my way back to check on them at the coup. I heard one of them crying so I hurried back as fast as I could to see what was wrong. When I got in there I saw two mama hens pecking at a lil chick and I hurridly grabbed...

we named some of ours Bo Peep, Big Mama, Crickett, Hopalong, and Splash

Sparrow is really pretty! And Lady Hawk is a beautiful name

very sweet just shows that you care

We name all our chickens even if we are going to get rid of them later. We don't name all of them at once - we just keep thinkin about a name that suits the certain chicken. Names make it much easier when you are trying to talk about a certain chicken and so others know which one you are...

I'm sorry about your chicken dying we have one that may die too we are trying everything to help it and it makes me so depressed because it keeps getting really sick

We had a chick that was trying to hatch last week in the incubater and it couldn't get out. We peeled a tiny tiny bit off of the shell to see if that would help it get out. Still nothing - it was alive because we could see its beak but it just wasn't hatching. So after four days we finally...

Thanks

Its vomit smells like the electrolyte water we give the chicks and I have tried giving it warm water but it wants to go overboard on it all the time.

A few days ago one of our Faverolle Bantam chicks (almost a week old) had a huge piece of chick starter stuck in his throat. I managed to get it down but he almost died. Then he had a small lump in his crawl - we let it drink plenty of water hoping it would dissolve the piece. He would eat then...

The chick is only a few days old and its ankle goes inwards. But it can run just like a normal chick. Is therebanything I can do to help make its ankle better? I heard vitamin B helps in leg problems - where do I get it and how do I prepare it for chick?

I have a chick with a leg problem, and one crooked foot. I've tied soft yarn around its legs and that has helped it but it isnt helping the foot. I saw where you can make a 'bootie' for its foot but I don't know what material you use or how you even make it. Can anyone give any suggestions on...

I have a Faverolle bantam chick that we had to help out of its shell after four days of its struggling to get out. It had an umbilical cord wrapped around its neck but it seems to be doing better now in moving its neck. However I noticed that it had its beak crossed a lil and was wondering what...

I have a Faverolle Bantam chick that is only a few days old - it has trouble moving its neck because its stiff from being in the shell too long (was trying to hatch four days) its neck is getting better but I was wondering how often I should get it to drink until its able to drink on its own???
