    4 week chick unable to hold head up? help!!!

    It's not looking great for the little fella He definitely has a wry neck, not sure how it happened in the space of a few hours like that.. ..but he is a silkie cross, so maybe was more vunerable to being pecked on the head by the others, or something? He will eat & drink a bit, but then his...

    4 week chick unable to hold head up? help!!!

    One of my 4 week old chicks, who was 100% fine last night at about 11pm cannot hold his head up this morning. He seems completely normal apart from the fact he cannot raise his head. He can turn it right round, so it's almost on back to front, but cannot lift it up. He can stand, but it...

    Hurry I Need Help!!

    I had a silkie a bit like this, used a load of q-tips dipped in warm water & gently wiped off the goop before it dried too bad. His eye, once cleaned up, sorted itself out after a couple of days & by a week old he was totally fluffy

Her eggs then went to normal size until she decided to moult heavily in the middle of winter! (poor...

    Last night the incubator was on fine, cooking away & on day 8-9. I checked this morning & to my horror it was switched off (lead was yanked out) & the eggs had got down to 24 degrees (75 fahrenheit) It must have been off for a few hours to cool down that much I'm so gutted as I'd just candled...

    Shrink Wrap Chicks

    Hi rift, I had the same problem with some of my shipped eggs too. 2 from each of the batches did not manage to pip, but the others who made it to pip, all hatched really well. Maybe it's a shipped egg thing? Or... I didn't use an egg carton this time, which also may have added to the...

    I noticed one of my laying hens was a little quiet yesterday, but today she is very lethargic and her eye lids look a little swollen. She normally has big round eyes, but they are kind of half closed today. I saw her have a little diahorrea, which was yellow & white. She hasn't eaten anything...
