    Some questions....

    I have six chicks that are about 10 weeks old. I have kept them separate from the older chickens (3 hens and 1 rooster) that are over a year old. When is a good age to allow them together.

    Chick not growing!!!

    I received 7 chicks and two of them are Jersey giants. They are 19 days old today. One of the jersey's doesn't seem to be growing much, but she is getting feathers.

    Sick chickens

    Would my new baby chicks that are 6 days old be considered exposed to the virus. They have been inside my home since I got them? And should I think about giving them to someone to keep them from getting sick (all but the 1 bantam has been vaccinated.). Not sure what to do because my other...

    They were holding their necks funny and not stretching them out, not very steady on the feet. Their eyes are very cloudy and they sit most of the time. The one that is currently sick has something dripping down her beak. I didn't think she was going to be alive is morning she seemed very...

    Bobwhite Quail Aviary

    Even though this information is old, great advice. I recently acquired 24 baby quail ( less than a week old) - we have only lost one in the last 5 weeks early on. They all seem to be doing well and I am trying to make there enclosure more naturalistic for them. I live in Mississippi and can...

    Hen not laying

    Im not sure what breed, maybe you can tell me from the pic. When she started back laying she was laying an egg each day for about 10 days before she was brooding. Do you suggest removing the roosters since we don't want her to hatch any eggs at this time. We also have 2 white leghorn hens that...

    Hen not laying

    I am new to the back yard chicken forums but have been able to find some very helpful information. My son was given a mama hen with 5 chicks (3 hens and 2 roosters) when they were approximately 2 weeks old. We have had them now for over two months. They are all in the same pen, ( a coop with a...
