Peeper didn't make it through the night. Its been a really rough morning. Last night when I was trying to give her water she wanted nothing to do with it. She also could barely keep her little eyes open. I felt so bad for her i knew it was time to say good bye knowing that she most likely wasn't...

I'm the same way, always worrying. Being stuck at work all day doesn't help at all. One more hour. o_O The chicks I bought already vaccinated. I guess I've never thought about vaccinating my own chicks but would be willing to do so if need be. Peeper was the first we have hatched at home so this...

Thank you everyone for taking the time out and giving me as much information as possible. Every bit of it has helped. As of this morning Peeper is still hanging in there. Seeing her this way is heart breaking and I just feel so helpless. I have her kinda propped up with a hand towel to where she...

She spit up a clear-ish liquid that had a very distinctive smell. I've been reading and now I'm thinking maybe sour crop? would that cause her legs to be paralyzed though?

Great idea! Hopefully this works.

For some reason this site will not let me upload a video. It says its too large. I've cut it down to 9 sec and it still says the same thing. I've tried everything. I ran to the store and got the Corid. If it is Cocci how long does it normally take for the corid to start working? Or for me to...

I will take a Video of her when I get home today. She is the first chick we have ever hatched ourselves so she has not been vaccinated. I just started taking her outside to a brooder coop to start getting her used to the other chickens. I'm not sure if she was exposed to anything at that time...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Silkie/Polish Mix, 2 Months old 2) What is the behavior, exactly. Seems to have paralyzed legs and wing. Still alert and chirping. Just cant move around hardly at all. 3) How long has the...

no , no worms that I could see. Kind of has a bloody tint to it. It was also kind of slimy more so than a solid. What would make Peeper not be able to use its legs anymore?

I have a 2 month old silkie polish mix that we hatched ourselves. First i noticed that Peeper wasn't putting any pressure on one foot. I examined the foot and noticed that it had a broken blood feather. We took care of it by plucking the whole feather out. It bled a little and clotted quickly...

I have a two month old polish silkie mix. When I got home today I noticed that Peeper was limping. I inspected the foot and found this....I'm still pretty new to chickens and have yet to see something like this. I have no clue what do to help fix this. please, any advice would be greatly...

Here's some more recent pics. Starting to see a crest, also I'm noticing more feathers. There are some crazy looking feet feathers

I've recently hatched our first chick on 4/21/17. I just wanted to share the progress of this chick we have named Peeper. Peeper is a Silkie Polish Mix. To my surprise so far the chick seems to have all it's fathers (Silkie) traits. Here are pictures of the father And this is what the mother...

I have a Snowy Easter Egger, she is about 12 weeks old. Shes not that friendly. Whenever I pick her up she makes noises like i'm trying to hurt her. Any suggestions on how to make her feel more comfortable? My RIR rooster that's the same age is super friendly compared to her. all of my other...
