    Young chick found listless on her side, head lolled back, unable to move

    Young chick found listless on her side, head lolled back, unable to move

    She's broody raised; mom just left her to take care of the other chick. I brought her inside where it's about 70, and I have her under a heater right now. She's been drinking water and nibbling chick grit, and has started moving more of her body (legs, head)

    Young chick found listless on her side, head lolled back, unable to move

    Just came home to a new chick (maybe 4-5 days old) lying on the ground alone, legs straight out, wings folded weirdly, head lolled back, and eyes fluttering. She's been super energetic and curious so this came as a surprise. Her sister died earlier today in a similar position, but was much...

    Sounds cozy though! How do you chickens and rabbits get along? I've been looking into getting rabbits but I've heard my chickens would injure them. I'm also excited for spring! I never make new years resolutions, just spring resolutions, as I am too busy around the new year but I always have...

    Yeah I've seen a lot of people say something along the lines of "I'm __(minority)_, *insert trauma dump* it's so hard to be me" and it becomes a competition of who is more traumatized so then they can feel more justified abt something?? I don't really understand it. The point is, we all have...

    And it might seem like there are too many labels, but that's just because everyone's experience is unique. Naturally, people want a way to describe and define themselves, so more just get added.
