    What’s wrong with this chick???

    Maybe. She just looks like she’s struggling at times, then other times she seems fine. She is the only one that tolerates being held by my daughter so it makes me wonder if she is sick or something that she is so chill and tolerant. Maybe I’m just paranoid because we lost the other smaller chick...

    What’s wrong with this chick???

    I got baby chicks on June 1st, they were 2ish weeks old, maybe a little older. One passed away that first night. She was smaller than the rest, an Americana. I have a second one that is smaller that I have been watching because she has been a acting funny, doesn’t get up and move around as much...

    Sick chick???

    This is what they recommended at the hardware store. I questioned it, but the girl said it was what they needed. So what should I really get for them at 2 weeks?

    Sick chick???

    It was in the 70s today, we had them outside in the sun while I was getting everything set up. We were told they were 2+ weeks old, they have been at the store almost two weeks plus a couple days from hatch to the store, so I had set up my brooder at 85 degrees, but I could warm it a little more...

    Sick chick???

    I got some chicks today from the local hardware store. We brought them home, and my 8 year old daughter snuggled this chick for like 4 hours this afternoon. Now she seems lethargic and her wings are hanging lower than the other chicks and I’m worried she is sick. She didn’t seem to eat or drink...
