    Chick with squinted eye and nasal discharge

    Hello, my father just recently ordered and received a shipment of about 20 4-6 day old dark brahma chicks. They all came in with pretty obvious angel wing but other than than nothing else seemed off. I've since been treating them with a chick water supplement but plan on switching them to a...

    Chick swinging head low

    I'll do this thanks! I also noticed thay the bird had an impacted crop thay I've since treated and has cleared a little. Could that have had any play in this behavior?

    Chick swinging head low

    Hello guys, this is a couple week old chick (can't remember the exact age) that is just recently exhibiting these behaviors of head swinging and tucking. I wasn't home when this happened so I'm not sure when it started. The chick is pooping fine, showing interest in food and water and walking...

    Severed toe tip, unsure what to do

    I do have freezing temps, but I haven't had any recently. And thank you! I will try to get ahold of some and let the toe fall on its own time.

    Severed toe tip, unsure what to do

    Thank you so much!! And I'm glad to hear your hen is doing fine :) I'll definitely follow your advice. Just incase I can't find poultry cell, would Nutridrench work in its stead?

    Sickly RIR hen, pls help!

    Hello, I've been noticing issues with my roughly 3 year old RIR hen. I'm not sure when it started exactly, but she has had a poopy but for about a week or two now I believe. I didn't think much of it since we've had some heat, but very recently she has developed other symptoms. She is panting...

    HELP!! Leaking navel!

    Hello thank you for the reply! Sadly we euthanized him because it was indeed his navel. (I cleaned it to be sure and it leaked infront of me) within minutes it swelled horribly and began to bleed, which led to him to continuously chirp out of what I assume was pain : (

    HELP!! Leaking navel!

    Hello, I have a chick about a week old and I am treating his crooked leg. He won't eat pellets so I've been feeding him egg yolk mixed with water. He's real talkative and eats the mixture own his own, so I thought he was getting better. Well, when I came to visit him he had a real thick yolk...

    Trouble breathing

    Final update on this thread. Arthur, the chick in question, very, very, very sadly did happen to pass away by a hawk attack at around 3 months old. He was a very sweet chick and loved to be cuddled and had absolutely no health issues. He fully recovered and did very well up until his passing :)

    Hatching right now, HELP!

    Assuming they are chickens the humidity should be 60-65% or they risk shrink wrapping

    Chick with messed up leg!!!

    Sorry for posting so much, but I'm new to hatching and very worried :barnie This chick JUST hatched, and has a leg that seems to be oddly bowed? He's laying on it, and the wing on the same side is put like he's trying to get some support from it. Can I somehow fix this?

    Pipped but no progress???

    Alright! He apparently was an early hatcher and his umbilical cord still had blood in it. Once he broke it off I put flour on it and it stopped bleeding! He's up and running now :celebrate

    Pipped but no progress???

    He's begun to zip! But his beak is facing the fat end of the shell and he seems to not be able to rotate. Is it supposed to be facing that way? Is he mispositioned?
