Gives me some hope, thank you!

I thought I was replying with my picture to your response 🤦🏻‍♀️ should I be adding anymore vitamins?

This is the Chick Boost, maybe look at adding Vitamin B?

Good morning! I took a newly hatched chick from our son’s daycare that was separated from the rest of their hatched chicks. My son named “him” T-Rex (black one). He wasn’t standing and was found being walked on, so he wasn’t doing great when we took him in last Thursday (18th). I was told they...

Hello all! I have a 4 day old chick that I’m attempting to nurse back to good health. My son’s daycare hatched some eggs and when I went to pick him up yesterday I saw they had this little one separated and “he” didn’t look too good. Our youngest has named him T-Rex, so that’s who I’m referring...

These directions are much easier to read than the broken English ones I received! I had also read one that said “not the meaty part” so that had me concerned. Thank you for your response!

I’ve read articles and watched YouTube videos but it’s difficult to see when the peeper is on already. I just want to make sure we place it in the correct location. Inside the nostril, right?! I suppose if we don’t get it on correctly it won’t stay on, but I don’t want to cause any discomfort if...

“Composting is only as hard as you make it, if you mess up it just takes longer to turn into dirt.” I’m trying to remind myself of this, but as much as I’ve already read I still don’t know what to do. I have a small backyard flock of six, ranging in age from 1-3 years. I want to start...

I’m only “liking” this for taking the time to respond. Not the response itself! 😅 However I knew the risks of grabbing from bins 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you!

I just can’t get over the size of this comb and wattles! I picked up three chicks from three different bins at our local fleet supply store. I know different breeds mature at different rates and given the color of this chick “she” by all rights is a pullet…if in fact she was labeled correctly as...

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it a lot! Glad they’re not dino eggs 😉

This one was pretty hard to cut into, I know they do ripen like that reddish one in the original post.

Does anyone know what this is and if it’s harmful to chickens? I want to build our new run in this area and these are all over. Our three year old thinks they’re dinosaur eggs and if that’s the case we have a really big problem 😅

Sadly she died overnight. Should I still treat the rest of the flock if they’re not presenting any symptoms?

So sorry for the delay, I was trying various things with her that you had mentioned. I very much appreciate your response. She hasn’t laid for a couple days, she is just shy of 1 year, the flock has access to oyster shell and grit 24/7, crop feels fine and she hasn’t been wormed recently. Quite...
