    Sick 2 week old chick. Any way to save?

    Update: the chick is dead. I guess at this point anybody have any idea what might have caused this?

    Sick 2 week old chick. Any way to save?

    Here is the video didn't realize I can't just upload it normally. He doesn't appear to be impacted but I showed his vent anyways

    Sick 2 week old chick. Any way to save?

    I bought a group of chicks about 2 weeks ago, there's one particular that has been looking off since I got them. Today I went to go change out their water and food, and saw that one laying down looking pretty bad. I've kind of suspected from the beginning that he might need to be culled since he...

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Got it, thanks! I'll look around for wood shavings then! It will probably be better for me anyways, since I've grown allergic to the straw we use

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Now that you mention it, it's probably a combination of those things. There's more bigger chicken breeds in there than I normally have at once, and now that I think about it they, do sleep a lot more than the other chicks I've had, so actually they are laying down quite a bit. I'll keep...

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Oh also when I did bring them home originally, some of them were covered in a bit of feces. I think they might have been packed in to their brooder since the guy said he had over 300 chicks.

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    This is my setup, it's what I've used for my other chicks as well. Normally there's a lot more straw, and the blue lining isn't normally visible, but I had just ran out when I replaced the bedding. Breeds are naked neck, amerucana, Jersey Giant, and brahma. Jersey Giants are the only breeds in...

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Oh also the area I bought them from it's kind of like a pretty bad area, like the whole town is pretty much a giant trailer park. The property didn't seem too bad but the people normally in that area have me questioning how they were kept

    Foul smell from new chicks?

    Hi! So I recently bought some chicks from a person local to me. I've had them for a couple days now, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of a bad smell they have. I've had plenty of chickens and chicks these last few years, and I've never had them smell like this before. It's like a...

    Trouble figuring out which is which

    Thanks guys! I guess the breeders gave me an extra female Brahma since I paid for the male, and they probably would have just given that one to me for free :love

    Trouble figuring out which is which

    So the hatch I was supposed to have this week was a failure, and none of the eggs made it. I had the brooder ready and was really excited for chicks, so I bought some to make myself feel better. People I bought them from told me they were supposed to be brahmas, ameraucana, naked necks, and...

    🐕 Golden Retriever Chat 🐕

    They do shed a lot, especially in the fall and spring. Temperament depends on the individual, but they tend to have lots of energy even after puppy hood. These are, in general, dogs that need lots of exercise

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    I live in Nevada so it's pretty dry here. I think adding water towards the end would definitely be necessary. Some days of the year the moisture just gets sucked out of me, can't imagine it would be much different for the eggs. But definitely going to try dry hatching in the beginning stages...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    I candled the rest and there was no movement, opened them up and yep they were very undeveloped. One of them had liquid in the air cell in fact. Oh well, hopefully these last two make it

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    Thank you! Well hopefully 1 and 2 are able to make it. Should I just toss the rest? I'm guessing an issue might be because some of the eggs had been washed before I decided to try hatching. Some were also pretty old, so that probably was a reason.
