    Sick week old baby chick

    No I don't. Was thinking of picking some up this am at the farm store but the people there seemed to think it wasn't cocci.

    See how the feathers look nappy? And the wings are hunched?

    Sick week old baby chick

    It was so strong and healthy up until yesterday. I think it just got too cold/ weak. :( But then why isn't it bouncing back permanently now? :(

    Sick week old baby chick

    Thanks for the reply! I'll try to post a pic in a bit. I'm on the laptop so will have to log in thru my phone. Pretty sure it's not too hot. It was cold to the touch when I originally found it last night. I really hope sprinkle karate chick pulls through!! (4 year olds come up with the BEST...

    Help with pip on wrong end!

    Hi all! I'm incubating a dozen eggs and one of my chicks (they're due to hatch today/tomorrow) just pipped last night! But it's on the skinny end. I've been reading about it and it seems like if it's an external pip, the chick has a pretty good chance. But i'm not sure if this pop is large...
