    Lone chick

    My three broody hens sat on 31 EGGS total, and only one hatched :P Is it okay for the baby to be a single chick? The mother is caring for it just fine. Anything i should worry about?

    3 Week Old Chick Laying on Side and Not Walking Around Much

    Awesome. Glad that she is doing okay :)

    Mucousy/watery poop, lethargic, and squishy crop

    Since i cannot find any pictures to confirm that this is worms, i would go with coccidiosis, and start treatment with Corid right away.

    Neck/Eye problem... Please HELP!

    I believe that most wry-necked chickens are born with it, although they mostly develop it slowly after hatching. Not all vets will take chickens in; you really have to call ahead of time to make sure. Oh, and yes, i agree, it does seem like she wouldn't survive very long with a broken neck, but...

    Saddle injury

    It looks like a predator attack, maybe a small dog or coon, ect. But i could be wrong. The blood does look like the hens are picking on her like you said. Good luck!

    Mucousy/watery poop, lethargic, and squishy crop

    The last two pictures nearly confirm that this is a worm infection. I would search for cures/aids for de-worming. Good luck!

    Hen w/bent wing, please take a look

    Yes, my chicken has one. It's no big deal :) She has lived a long life with many years ahead. As long as it doesn't hinder her eating/drinking, she'll be fine. No worries ;)

    congestion

    Sounds like a respiratory disease. You should try to find some vitamin cures or talk to your vet about an anti-biotic.

    5 day old chicks sick Help

    Yes, it sounds like heat exertion. Defiantly keep it at a lower temp. Below is the suggested temperatures for age: 0-7 days (95 degrees) 7-14 days (90 degrees) 14-21 days (85 degrees) 21-28 days (80 degrees) 28- so on (75-77 degrees) Good luck!

    Saddle injury

    Perhaps a predator has been trying to pull her through the fence. Happens all the time where i am :/ i would keep an eye on her and just let her be her. I use "wound-kote" to cover injuries, and it works like a charm (although it does stain the skin/feathers purple for a week or so). Separate...

    Silkie attacked by rooster!!

    Sounds like a neck/head injury. He should be back to normal in a few days/a week, and should be okay as long as he can eat/drink properly. Keep him under close watch and separate him if the aggressive rooster keeps getting at him. Hopefully he'll be okay. Good luck!

    Marans losing all her feathers

    I agree with Odelia. The normal molt pattern is late summer/early fall, but this can change due to the weather where you are. She should begin growing her feathers back soon. Is there a predator that could be trying to get your chickens? If not, i would look into diseases that cause...
