No one ever seems to do pictures of black chicks, and even when I asked my family which was cutest, no one chose the black chick photos. I choose her anyway! This black chick was born blind (you can see her cataract in the photo) and being syringe-fed until I can teach her to peck.- sayga

Raising a blind chick
I hatched a blind chick on Thursday or Friday. I also separated mine with a bantam chick for company! Mine has cataracts in both eyes. is yours lacking vision in both eyes? If it has one eye, it will figure out how to peck for itself but if it’s totally blind, you’ll have to help it and teach...- sayga

12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along
I am 100% sure she is blind. She has not ever pecked for food, can’t find her way to the water. She has cataracts over both her eyes. She whisper-peeps to find her friend but tends to stay in one place and not walk around (she CAN walk though!). I know chicks don’t need food or water for up to 3...- sayga

I remembered my sister had a blind chicken (named Helen) and asked her if Helen was born blind. She was! My sister said she first fed her raw egg yolk from a syringe, then gradually moved the food lower and lower until the chick was eating wet chicken mash and yolk from a bowl. She had that...- sayga

12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along
Guys, I have a blind chick! She drinks water when I put her beak in, but won’t peck, even when I gently push her head into the chick crumble. She’s two days old so it’s not quite urgent until tomorrow for her to eat but... I don’t want her to die! She won’t open her other eye so I’m not sure if...- sayga

12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along
New chicks are very very sleepy! However, I can’t tell from your post if you’ve seen backwards progression or not. You want to see the chicken getting stronger and stronger and more and more alert. For the first 2-3 days, the sleep a lot and sleep hard, passing out in funny positions and often...- sayga

12th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along
I had to throw away 8 eggs on the 6th day. Not a single of my shipped aracauna eggs developed so much as a vein. Absolutely nothing. Very disappointing as I paid $80 for the eggs. But then since I had room in the incubator, I added a few more of my own eggs on day 6. They hatched yesterday and I...- sayga
