    Chick with injured leg

    That top one is perfect! Going to make that. Do you think it will be ok to just have her under the heat the whole time?

    Chick with injured leg

    Thank you for your help Eggcessive! I had a few other people comment that it looked like a slipped tendon. Going to research a chicken sling. Do you have any idea how to get them food and water when they are upright? Also, since she is still under heat do I just have her under heat all the...

    Chick with injured leg

    I really need some help with figuring out what is wrong with my chick. She is about 48 hours old now. Her one leg is really hurt. I thought it was splayed leg and had it taped to her other leg, but now I dont think that is the problem. Her outer toe is completely folded under the middle toe...

    Late January Hatch?

    My eggs are on day 21 and no pips at all. I am starting to freak out. This is my first time hatching. Any advice? Feel like I haven't slept all week. Thought they would be a bit early since they are bantams. My only worry is on day 19 I had to open the incubator to add water. Think that...

    Serama's and Silkies

    Thank you for the link! Still researching, but looks like the serama's might be a bit too aggressive to put with silkies? Need to go to a breeders show and ask some questions!

    Serama's and Silkies

    Looking to expand my flock with some smaller breeds. I wanted to make a chicken tractor with 4-6 hens. My daughter is in 4H and I think we have decided to try out some silkies and seramas. Has anyone mixed these two together? I know they are not very cold tolerant, we live near Seattle so...

    Hen not laying yet?

    Hello all - I have 3 hens that were all hatched in mid-March. The Ameraucana was laying great starting in August until last week, almost an egg every day. As of last week she hasn't laid any. They do have free range but our yard is small and I have checked everywhere for an egg outside the egg...

    4 Week Old Chick - Bottom Bleeding

    Now I caught her picking at her own bottom. I am sure the dried/crusty stuff is bugging her but don't think I should wipe it. Might make it open back up! I don't think that she was being bullied, if anything this chick seemed like the one in charge. Thank you for the advice. I might try to get...

    4 Week Old Chick - Bottom Bleeding

    I need help - my 4 week old chick was being pecked in the butt by the other chicks. All feathers were picked out and bottom was bleeding. I separated her yesterday and put some Neosporin on the wound. Today it looks worse! Really oozing, still fresh blood coming out (was on the pine chips). She...

    Run Flooring

    Hi everyone! I am a proud new owner of some chicks! So excited to begin this process. We are currently building the coop and run, have the framing and part of the coop completed. I had a question on predator proofing the run floor. The hens will be in the coop with closed door at night, and let...
