    My new 3 day old chick has a strange umbilical cord thing!

    Chances are hes going to pass away, if he hasnt already, and im sorry about that, but not all chicks live. Thats just the sad truth. You can buy poly vi sol without iron at wal mart or any similar store in the pharmacy section, and im sorry for your ordeal. If you have any more questions feel...

    My new 3 day old chick has a strange umbilical cord thing!

    Just for next time, you should /never/ pull something like that off, and it looks like just a big blood scab, shouldnt be too serious unless it ripped something internally or it gets infected or something. The black stringy thing was indeed an umbilical cord, and if he is being lethargic and...

    Made my first Chicken Sweater Tonight... Photos and my free pattern

    Im guessing, since the sweater looks like it just fits over the chickens head and sits cozily on the body, she wont need to hold it in place with her 'wings'. It may tip and otherwise spin a little if she rolls around but otherwise it should stay fitted.

    Made my first Chicken Sweater Tonight... Photos and my free pattern

    She is a half rhode island red half EE, but shes still nowhere near fullsize, shes very young.

    Made my first Chicken Sweater Tonight... Photos and my free pattern

    As i cant crochet and one of my young girls just had to have both of her wings amputated, id be seriously interested in buying one of these sweaters for her if she survives through her entire medical treatment. Without wings i imagine it would be very hard to keep warm!

    Baby BO seems to not have balance and chirps oddly (video)

    From the video, and my own personal experience, it does look like the chick is choking on something and struggling to breathe, but chirping because thats what chicks do. Gently massage its neck and crop to see if you can find a blockage, and if so, remove that awful bedding so the rest of the...
