    Day 5- Golden Laced Polish struggling to thrive

    She is doing great!!! Yesterday when I lifted the brooder cover, she was trying to fly out with the rest of them. She has recovered well, eating, chasing the others for a mealworm, and growing! I'm wondering about how long to keep her on Corid. I keep thinking about the importance of...

    Quote: And it did, leadwolf1. Thank you all for the great advice!!! I started Mable on Corid to treat her for cocci the evening of day 5. I'm also continuing her PolyViSol twice a day. I decided to just treat the one sick chick in hopes that the others will stay well since they have the...

    5 Day Old Chick Not Doing so Well!

    Wondering about your chick today. My Golden Laced Polish continued to have symptoms today, so I posted about it. I got some very good advice. You can read about it here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=548597 After medicating her, she seems to be perking up already...

    Day 5- Golden Laced Polish struggling to thrive

    Thank you for responding! There is no congestion and she is breathing fine. From the start, she ate and drank well, until I noticed yesterday she didn't eat at all. She is noticeably smaller than the other chicks. She began to eat a little today. I can feel some food in her crop. I am...

    Day 5- Golden Laced Polish struggling to thrive

    I'm a newbie. It's day 5 and my chicks are growing well... except for one, my golden laced polish. Yesterday morning, it became clearly noticeable that she, Mable, was not as active as the other chicks. She became clumsy, was peeping continuously, and stopped wanting anything to eat or drink...

    5 Day Old Chick Not Doing so Well!

    On Monday, I received a total of 7 all different breeds; 1 died during the 1 day travel. I have the same symptoms going on with my golden laced polish chick. She had a little bit of pasty butt & I cleaned it off, dried her well. You might want to check your chick's behind. I gave her a...

    Tornados... Checking in/still alive.

    My family is fine in Athens. A 1/2 mile wide EF4 tornado was less than a mile south of us destroying homes and lives in it's path through Limestone, Madison, and surrounding counties. That was just one tornado of many others. We've been busy caring for others in need. For those asking about...

    ALABAMA!!

    Athens, Alabama which seems to be confused with Athens, Georgia if you only say Athens; even if the person you are talking to is from Alabama. That's why Athenians say they are from the Huntsville area. We are only 20 minutes west of the 'big city' and you pass right through our town if you...

    I spend the entire day looking at photos of chickens and tons of information online until something happened with the IP address. CRISIS! Where is my IT guy when I need him?! Well, I'm back and was pleasantly surprised to see all these warm welcomes to the website. What a wonderful community...

    Yes, introductions are important and since I've been asked to introduce myself and have been given some sample questions; here goes... (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? (2) How many chickens do you have right now? (3) What breeds do you have? I'm still in...
