One of my 3 baby chicks (all about 3 months old,living with mum and dad) appears 2 b seperating herself from the others...she sits on her own in the garden and seems very timid wen i approach her..the others seem 2 avoid her,but do protect her if i get too close...wats rong with her??please help!!

it was quite hot today..she just looks really distressed..we dont get snakes in this part of england, so i dont think its that..and i cant see any mice or rats!the roo was making barking type noises he makes when he gets scared..but has now stopped...its very confusing..it cant be bird flu can...

My hen ande her chicks are in their indoor coop..in the last couple of hours the hen seems to hav become distressed..she keeps her beek open and makes a weezing type sound...they have been in there for abou 2 weeks now we i dnt thinks shes distressed about the environment...could she be wanting...

i tried that a little while ago,but she continued to make the noises when she was there:S however,she did seem to enjoy walking around,and the roo was very gd with the chicks...thank u for your advice!

shes still doing it:(

lol!thanks 4 the advice:) he is a dwarf feather footed roo..very beautiful so i wudnt eat him:S but he can b a little bad tempered,i just dont want him 2 hurt the chicks!i will definately try the jacket idea!

thank u ye she did hatch them,1st time and 3 out of 4 hatch so i was happy:) a little nervous about them being with roo but the weather is nice and i feel they should explore..he can b a little violent with us..he chases me..but im hoping he wont b with them!thanks again

when is it safe to allow the chicks to meet the rooster?they are currently kept seperate with the hen..they are about 3 weeks now and i was wondering if its safe to let them come outside from the shed into the garden with supervision?hellppp please:S

Mine started crowing at about 3 months!mayb he was a late starter..now he does it all the time!!thankfully no neighbours hav complained yet:S

After much anticipation my hens efforts were a success!!Two beautiful dwarf chicks hatched yesterday,and another hatched this morning...after a shady start with the new arrival she let it under her and now things seem well!! I was just wondering..can i touch the chicks or is it best to leav her...

thanks 4 the advice,i shal c wat he does..he likes 2 chase us so i hope he is nice with them!!

hiya,my chicken did get broody as every1 predicted:) she has been sitting on her eggs for about 1.5 weeks..the rooster is lonely but tough luck to him!i was wondering if its ok for him to be with the hen and chicks once they've hatched?or should i keep him away? any advice highly appreciated...

thank you all soooo much for your advice!i will follow it and hopefully learn!!
