    Sick baby chick HELP!

    My baby is doing great. We kept it inside in the brooder box. I gave vitamin and electrolytes in water and nonmedicated chick food. I noticed after 48 hours a completely well baby. I took it out for some outside time and it rested on my shoulder the whole time. I moved it back outside...

    Sick baby chick HELP!

    How is your chick this morning? Better I hope. Mine is still alive. I took the starter feed and put it into the blender and mixed with water and Rooster Booster Vitamins and electrolyte. So far I see an increase in response. She/he chirps,moves it's head and moves it's legs, but not standing...

    She is moving so that has to be a good sign. I am new to chicks and still learning. Right now it's a wait and see.

    Sick baby chick HELP!

    I have a polish chick acting the same way. I have been giving water and save a chick. So far it has been holding on for 8 hours. I just got done giving it water and sadly, I don't think it will make it the rest of the night. :-( I hope your chick pulls through.

    How to feed oyster shell

    We built this and placed drain covers (cut out a few slits big enough to get some food) over the pvc pipe. But you must glue the covers down or you will end up with a chicken at risk of hurting itself. Luckily I got to mine before anything happened to her aND care fully removed it.

    How to stop chicken from attacking me?

    My hens don't peck me. My rooster will try to come at me so I have to give treats so he sees I'm not a threat. The only time he won't come at me is if my husband goes into the coop with me. But I have to admit the water gun is a good idea also.

    Golden Lace Polish hen on rooster?

    I have a few Polish chicks as well. I have read they are hard to sex. Mine is about 5 to 6 weeks. Here is one that decided to fly out of the brooder box. I hope he/she turns out as beautiful as the one above.

    At what age can you sex a cochin by looks?

    Yayyy! I am still fairly new to "chicks" so this makes me happy to hear. I got her specifically to be the one to sit on eggs. I hope it all goes as planned. Thank you!!!

    Hello, I am new to the site, but not new in owning chickens. My parents had Chickens growing up. Feeding 8 kids was not an easy task for them. Now here I find myself with 4 boys and a grown man, that love Breakfast as every meal of the day that I decided to get Chickens. It is working out...
