    Sick chicken?

    Thank you. It was incredibly sad. I was stunned because she had been laying on the crate and panting and I took her out and was petting her and feeding water and she just fell over. I couldn't believe she died so suddenly. We buried her. She was such a sweet girl and I can't understand what it...

    Sick chicken?

    We have a chicken that my daughter noticed was very calm last night and didn't move much at bedtime. She called it sweet. This morning she was worried because the chicken came out of the run and wasn't moving much. Walking slowly and standing still lot. She went and laid by a tree and my...

    Breed? 23-24 wks old

    Hey, I was hoping to get help identifying the breed of our chicks. I posted when they were babies and it was thought that they might be cream legbar and Barnevelder. They were marked as olive eggers. They have the red breast and were able to be identified early on as females (thank goodness!)...

    Curious about chicks breed

    Oh, I'm so excited you agree with what rural mouse said! My heart is so relieved and happy 😁 Lima is adorable, I love her coloring. We have Australops, Plymouth Rocks, and Orpingtons - so this will be a fun change. I also think her name is adorable - Lima 🤗 Now I'll start thinking of names for...

    Curious about chicks breed

    Oh this is exciting!! After our 4 hatchlings we're all roosters, I was really hoping we wouldn't have a repeat! I'd love to be able to keep them all. Thank you for your insight!!

    Curious about chicks breed

    That would be really great - those are two really pretty breeds when I looked them up. I just assumed they'd be black and I like the idea of pretty colors. Our first set of birds that we got were from Ideal. We had a wonderful experience with them. I only did TS because we weren't planning on...

    Curious about chicks breed

    I know I can't tell what gender our chicks are yet - but I'm curious if anyone has any thoughts on their breed? We bought 4 at Tractor Supply that were marked as pullet Olive Eggers. I know this doesn't mean much as far as breed or gender since it was TS. 😅 We hatched some eggs 3 mo back and...

    2.5 wk chicks - maybe blood in stool?

    Oh, good to know! I was going to make a gallon and just keep using that to fill their water until it ran out. I'll make it fresh each morning. Hadn't thought of that

    2.5 wk chicks - maybe blood in stool?

    I have 4 cute little 2.5-3 wk chicks. Today I noticed that some poop looks like it has red in it. It isn't bright red and I can't tell if it's actually blood. If it is blood, should I assume it's coccidiosis? I'm not sure how they even get that - we have a flock of 2 yr old birds but have never...
