    What could cause a chick's wings to stick straight out from its body?

    I had a blue laced red wyandotte chick that started having it's feathers stick out at almost a 90° angle. Yesterday it died. I have a friend that said she heard coccidiosis can cause this. Pic was taken when I first started to notice them starting to stick out weird. No other chicks have had...

    Blue laced red wynadottes??

    I am picking these two chicks up tomorrow from a local farmer that raises the best tempered birds. They are both full blooded wynadottes, but she wasn't 100% if they are blue laced red or not. We both think they are due to the blue undertones, but wanted to get second opinions/ confirmation.

    She is doing astounding! We treated her for wry neck, and she is back to normal now. We are happy to have our girl back acting like herself!

    Absolutely! My husband buried a skirt all the way around except where it got in. The ground was solid as concrete and he couldn't get it dug out. We were shocked it was able to dig in with how hard it is. We are definitely looking into options to permanently resolve the issue.

    Injury after attack- need help ASAP.

    We had a fox or coyote get into our run and it took out 21 of our flock. One of our black sexlink hens was acting strange, and we thought she was in shock. It has been 3 days since the attack. I am beginning to think she has a broken or severely injured neck. It is very floppy and jelly...
