    4 week chick unable to hold head up? help!!!

    It's not looking great for the little fella He definitely has a wry neck, not sure how it happened in the space of a few hours like that.. ..but he is a silkie cross, so maybe was more vunerable to being pecked on the head by the others, or something? He will eat & drink a bit, but then his...

    4 week chick unable to hold head up? help!!!

    One of my 4 week old chicks, who was 100% fine last night at about 11pm cannot hold his head up this morning. He seems completely normal apart from the fact he cannot raise his head. He can turn it right round, so it's almost on back to front, but cannot lift it up. He can stand, but it...

    Hurry I Need Help!!

    I had a silkie a bit like this, used a load of q-tips dipped in warm water & gently wiped off the goop before it dried too bad. His eye, once cleaned up, sorted itself out after a couple of days & by a week old he was totally fluffy

    My EE pullet laid WHOPPERS! UPDATE-I named her MISS TEXAS! Pics!

    Wow, what a whopper! One of my bluebelles was like this, she was the last to come into lay, but when she did, she layed about 5 enourmous pale pinky/purple doubles a week for for about 3 months! Her eggs then went to normal size until she decided to moult heavily in the middle of winter! (poor...

    Is there any hope (bator got turned off)

    Last night the incubator was on fine, cooking away & on day 8-9. I checked this morning & to my horror it was switched off (lead was yanked out) & the eggs had got down to 24 degrees (75 fahrenheit) It must have been off for a few hours to cool down that much I'm so gutted as I'd just candled...
