    Listen to my chicks chirping strangely (are they sick?)

    Hi I'm a new chick owner, and I have 17 🤣, Sometimes I hear them do a chirp that sounds like they're shivering but they aren't shaking. I got a little paranoid and started giving them corrid in their water tonight. Their ecoglow and lights are in the right positions, actually I lower the light...

    I wanted to reccomend a breeder that I have had great experience with. Her cages are pristine, and the babies are the healthiest chicks I've ever seen that young. She's very knowledgeable and currently she has brand new Guinea hen babies along with chicks that range in age. The chicks are all...

    Thank you. The smaller brooder box with all hardware cloth was where they all were, I now think youre right it probably was too small for 16. I feel like an idiot. Now it has all the smaller ones, 8. The cardboard box with the screen on it has 6 bigger birds with an ecoglow. When they're...

    chick having hard time keeping balance and is tired

    Okay, I somehow got the nutri drench in it's mouth and maybe gave it 1 ml. The poor thing has no energy to stand at all. I think it's dying. It had poop on its wig embedded so I gave it a warm bath and then blew it dry but it literally would cry and then fall asleep on its back. I also saw some...

    chick having hard time keeping balance and is tired

    I got the nutridrench mixed it with sugar water and put it in the chicks water. The chick is still very small, I tried opening its mouth and putting it in but it's just so small ,like the body of a 2 day old chicks and I was afraid I'd by accidently pour it in its nose and lungs. It got a very...
