They just been dropping like flies one after the other, it’s weird that I had baby chicks two months ago and they were perfectly fine, no
Casualties, but now I can’t seem to raise these chicks
The one in orange is about a week old, normally I don’t try to keep such varied ages together but i had a broody hen which abandoned her chicks and luckily my salmon faverolle took them in. She’s a good mom and takes good care of all of them even tho they're younger than her original.
All the...
These are some photos of the chicks- when it comes to poop it’s quite hard to find some but if I manage to find some if post it. About the chirping I’m not sure why, they had full water,food and mom was keeping them under her. She’s showing them food and water and being a decent mom. The one in...
They are living outside with mom, it’s around 85F around here
One of them were acting lethargic did have a poopy butt but I cleaned it out but in two days he ended up dying but the others we clean.

I have 3 light Brahma I purchased about 5 weeks ago. The darker one has less feathers than the others and has a darker comb. That’s a boy right? But the other two have similar color combs but I’m not too sure. Are they both girls? They’re about 5-6 weeks although #2 might be a bit older
I was quite certain they were going to be boys, thank you for the insight on the silkie combs, I’m going to see if any of them look wider. Hopefully majority are girls tho 🤞😊
