    5/6 chicks fell over and died after eating and drinking?

    Thank you, and no they’ve not been exposed to anything. It is possible that they went into shock from fresh water as the other commenter mentioned but beyond that I’ve got no clue 😩

    Thank you. I had considered that but wasn’t sure.

    5/6 chicks fell over and died after eating and drinking?

    It was straight out of the tap like usual so yes. You think it was shock from the cold water?

    5/6 chicks fell over and died after eating and drinking?

    My 2 week old serama chicks suddenly fell over and died after I fed and watered them today. I have them in my utility room outside. It’s plenty warm in there and they have their brooder plate plus extra room to get out of the way if they need to get out of the heat. I am feeding them purina...

    Putting day old chicks with 1 month old chick?

    Hi everyone! Due to unfortunate circumstances my last clutch of eggs that I hatched only had 1 chick survive. She has been in the house with us in her brooder. Of course at the time Tractor Supply didn’t have any chicks for me to put with her so I collected some more eggs over the next week...

    Serama egg pipped on wrong side

    Of course! I love showing off my babies! Here he is with my daughter. (I’m loving the pattern on his wings that’s coming in!)

    Serama egg pipped on wrong side

    My chick made some progress but ultimately, after 34 hours he had stalled and I noticed he was still upside down and trying to kick his way out, all while chirping like crazy, so I took him out at that point and the membrane around him had completely dried up since he had been in there so long...

    Serama chick won’t lay down?

    Serama chick won’t lay down?

    This video shows as close to lying down as he will get,

    Serama chick won’t lay down?

    Thank you for your reply! I’ve never had seramas before so maybe this is typical for them. The picture I’ve attached shows the chick standing while everyone else is sleeping, and the other two photos show how much taller it’s posture is than the others when standing. It’s still not lying down...

    Serama chick won’t lay down?

    I have 4 newly hatched chicks as of yesterday, but 1 of the 4 stands straight up all the time. Like not only is it standing up all the time it stands much more straight than the other chicks. It will not squat its legs to lay down on its tummy like the rest of the chicks. I have caught it kind...

    Serama egg pipped on wrong side

    Thank you, I’ve hatched a lot of eggs, but have never had this happen. It looks like it has made some progress, it is still chirping occasionally. From what I can tell, I do not see a beak or a puncture through the membrane yet. But again, it’s hard to tell at this angle and I don’t want to open...

    Serama egg pipped on wrong side

    I have a small batch of serama eggs that I ordered in my incubator and as I was removing my rotator to put them on lockdown this morning, I noticed a pip (this one is early) It looks like the shell is broken just a bit but the membrane looks to be intact. I quickly candled it as I assumed the...

    Single chick hatched, seems lonely

    Unfortunately, our incubator crapped out on us in the middle of our incubation process and we only got one chick out of it. It keeps chirping looking for some friends, so we do visits with it and it seems content to cuddle with us for a while but as soon as it goes in the brooder, it’s...

    8 week old pullet, one eye closed, lethargic

    I just went out to find one my 7 8 week olds laid over on her side in the coop. When I approached she ran. But was panting and acting lethargic. I brought her inside because it is very hot and humid here, we did turn on the fan in the coop earlier today but the humidity is still terrible. I...
