    Langshan Thread!!!

    Can anyone tell me if this breed hard to raise? I’ve had a dozen chicks at various times & I can never get a single 1 to adulthood. I’ve tried medicated feed, non medicated, gamebird chick starter (feed bought varies locations & brands of feed) and yet all die before they reach 4.5 months old...

    10 week old chick lost balance/can't walk

    I don't think it's really seizures either just a weird thing he does like I said it's more like he feels like he is falling and tries to brace or balance himself. The ACV has the mother in it so that's good. The probiotics are in his water and the honey water was just about an 1/8th of a...

    10 week old chick lost balance/can't walk

    I separated him and brought him inside as soon as I saw he was off. I made up the water with the vitamins and give him about 4 drops of it twice daily. So hopefully that's not too much? He also could've been injured as he is in with a couple of Polish chicks the same age and I supposed they...

    10 week old chick lost balance/can't walk

    Yes, he's been eating and has a great appetite. I was afraid of Marek's too at first but he can use his legs but it's just like he can't figure out where to put them or how to balance on them once you get them under him. Watching him closer this morning during while giving him meds I noticed...

    Australorps breed Thread

    So I've got these to Australorp chicks I'm raising (the bottom one is an Australorp X) and I was wondering if I got the sexes right. I'm thinking first one is a pullet and the 2nd one a rooster? They are both a little over 2 months old thinking of putting them up for sale so want to make sure I...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Once they reached about a month old she started pecking their heads anytime they got near her. So I figured she was done with them and whenever I let the others out to free range she kept wanting to go with them. I tried letting them all out to free range but she left the babies behind. Until...

I had her in a lower area inside the coop just blocked off, they could all see her and the babies the...

    Australorps breed Thread

    Don't post a lot but I need some help with one of my hens. I let her go broody and raise a clutch of babies and when she decided she had enough of the babies I removed her and added her back to the flock, BAD idea. My problem is she now submits to EVERYONE she squats and when they attack her she...
