shes also starting to lay eggs once again so definitely a sign that it's time to starting weaning them out, i think i might also have to seperate the other chick from the hen
here's some pics :( poor little guy, we cleaned the wound and put a little anti septic spray on it. I'm picking up some vitamins to put in his water, what other things should i do?
i do have another adult hen, a little younger then the mama hen, but i haven't noticed any hostile behavior from her to the chicks. It's probably the latter than because i did notice mama hen pecking at the other chick when it got too close/when it was trying to get her to brood over it
This past easter my hen had hatched out 2 chicks so they're currently about 7-8 weeks old. This evening when i got home from work i had noticed one of the chicks (we'll call this one chick A) hiding under the small space we have under our nesting boxes, and quickly realized that it was severely...
it really is, i love the coloring on them. You should've seen how it looked when my brother found it. Poor thing was laying on the cold wet ground almost soaking wet with no mother hen around, we really wasn't sure if it would make it or not
My brother had rescued this dying chick on his way to work and we've been taking care of it for the past month. We aren't really sure if it'll be a hen or a rooster😅
I think it's a hen but some others think its a roo, the difficult part is that because it's a rescue we aren't sure of the breed...
