    Is this a wattle at only 2 weeks?

    Thanks for the replies. Right now I have them in a brooder where they all can still see each other but I need that for the next batch or chicks. Will have to figure it out soon, I guess. Anybody have an idea what breeds get their wattles so young?

    How do I stop it? And wattles at 2 weeks old?

    Is this a wattle at only 2 weeks?

    Hopefully these will help. This is a different chick. Pic 3 is the opposite side of face & it looks a little raw like it has been pecked at a bit too. The ad listed eggs as a Farm Mix of Sex link, Brahma, Barred Rock, Marans, Icelandic, americaunas, Orpingtons, a few varieties of Easter eggers.

    I know, that is why I am confused. Two week old chicks seems so young to have wattles, at least from my experience. But 4 chicks being injured at the exact same spot is too coincidental, imo.

    Is this a wattle at only 2 weeks?

    I have four 2 week old chicks that have bright red "slits" on one side of their face. The other chicks were grabbing at the area & pulling & I thought they were injuries but there was no blood. I separated the 4 chicks & they are pecking each other a little. Now they do seem to have some injury...

    Ducks pipping, cracked egg but no hole

    How did this go? My first two (chickens) are the same way. No hole, just cracked like the chick punched it from the inside. Noticed it about 8 hours ago. This is day 21 & my son says he can hear peeps so they are still alive. Just wondering if I should put a hole or if they are getting enough...

    Hen won't wear saddle but needs it

    Thanks for the reply. I bought these. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08DXL885Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They were not just agitated, they went crazy. I just can't see them settling down after a bit. I am afraid to even try again. I have separated the roosters from...

    Hen won't wear saddle but needs it

    I have a hen that is all bear on her back end. A few days ago she was red & irritated. Don't don't if this was caused by a rooster (2 roosters to 15 hens) or if sunburned or combination of both so I brought her in the house while I ordered hen saddles from amazon. They finally came but they...
