    Sick chick - difficulty lifting head

    Thank you all so much for your responses! So after a little rest in the cozy confines of the house, eating some scrambled eggs, and having vitamins & electrolytes in her water, she's doing much better! She's holding her head back up like normal and keeping her wings tucked in. She's just having...

    Sick chick - difficulty lifting head

    The most limited motion is definitely her neck/head, though overall she's very, very weak. I'm not sure whether she has a head/neck injury, but it's certainly a possibility. As the day has gone on she seems to be getting a little better. She's standing to eat and drink, and remains standing up...

    Sick chick - difficulty lifting head

    Thank you so much for your reply. She doesn't seem to be having trouble breathing, just staying awake. I've had her in a crate all morning so I could watch her closely. She did finally stand up and eat a little bit. Also, I've given her some water in a dropper and there is water in the crate...

    Sick chick - difficulty lifting head

    Hello all! I have a 12 week old chick that is severely sick. She is a cuckoo marans. It first started yesterday evening when I noticed she wouldn't hardly lift her head and was acting like she was going to fall asleep standing up, though she was still walking around and would eat out of my hand...

    Thank you! Today he convinced me that you are correct! He started trying to crow, which seems early at one day shy of 9 weeks, and has already started grabbing some of the young girls by the neck. I guess he's an early bloomer!

    Hi! I purchased several chicks (all supposed to be female) from my pet chicken, and now the chicks are about 8.5 weeks old. I know they do vent sexing but there is still a little bit of room for error. So we have three Easter Eggers one of them has got a very prominent comb and tends to kind of...

    Hi! A friend of ours gave us 3 "laying hens", and they should start laying in the next couple of weeks. However, I am starting to think the Rhode Island Red is a rooster. It's much bigger than the Barred Rock and Cinnamon Queen we have. Also this morning it was grabbing a couple of the other...
