    Introducing Chicks to the Flock

    Yes, so maybe I should use that again. The only issue is I can’t put them all back in the brooder, so they would still have to go in the coop at night, but most of the issues happen in the run, so it should be alright. Thanks you so much, you’ve been so helpful!!

    Introducing Chicks to the Flock

    Oh whoops, forgot to answer that part. I did three days of introduction, I first put them in a separate playpen next to the bigger run, and then the next day, I put part of the playpen into the run so the chicks could walk in and out of the run. The third day, I put the chicks in the run for...

    Introducing Chicks to the Flock

    I just noticed that a few of the chicks are missing some feathers, and one of them is missing a small patch of skin. I only have one food and water source, so I can add more as well as add things for them to hide in. The problem is, I only have two coops, one with seramas that would be too small...

    Introducing Chicks to the Flock

    Hi! I recently introduced 8 7-week old ameraucana chicks to my coop, which already had one red sex link hen. The chicks are extremely scared of my hen, and will often huddle in the corner of the run to get away from her. She often chases after them and just pecks them on the back, but they have...

    Chick with wry neck?

    She often holds her head like that, if she’s just sitting still. She is able to eat and when she drinks, she tilts her head all the way back like in picture 2 and sometimes falls over. It has been doing this since I got them yesterday, so since it was 2 days old as far as I know.

    Chick with wry neck?

    Hello, @TudyBOT! I just got 8 ameraucana chicks, they are about 2 days old. One of them eats and pecks around normally, but when it goes to drink, it tilts its head way far back and falls over almost every time. I looked it up and a few different things said it could be wry neck, but the...

    Chicken names

    Hi TudyBOT! I was wondering if you had any good name suggestions for black ameraucanas or blue ameraucanas.

    Missing chick

    No, it gets really cold at night right now and she wasn’t warm enough. I’m glad I at least know what happened to her

    Missing chick

    We found it. It made its way behind the nesting box insert and couldn’t get back out. Thank you for your help and suggestions.

    Missing chick

    We live in southeastern PA and don’t really get snakes, and I have never seen a weasel anywhere near where we live. We’ve never had predator issues before (we have a backyard coop btw). In case you were wondering everyone in the coop is a serama, as well as the chick. The coop has a very small...

    Missing chick

    I have a chick that hatched about a week and a half ago. After my chickens were closed up in the coop, I saw the chick eat and drink and then it went under mama. This morning, I went out and the chick was missing. I check thoroughly under both mamas and throughout the bedding. Our coop is...

    HELP ME DECIDE WHAT BREED TO GET!

    I was going to say seramas, they are the best!

    Traumatic Chicken Experience

    Yeah, it’s been very hot where we are in PA, so it makes sense. She was pretty sick before, which just made it too much for her to recover from.
