    How would you go about fattening up six birds in a month?

    They are actually sentient beings like all animals that some humans choose to eat.

    severly injured chick

    Antibiotics at the local feed store or the vet. Either way you can't get it till the morning.

    severly injured chick

    I have a chicken with significantly impaired vision. It is my favourite chicken!!! Takes some extra time and wide bowls, but manageable. You would most likely be more concerned with other damage and the risk of infection. Try to get as much food/liquid into the animal and add an antibiotic as...

    How would you go about fattening up six birds in a month?

    The chickens at the grocery store are most likely inhumanely or, should I say, unchickenly treated, to maximise growth and profit. The point of 'backyard chickens', I thought, was to do better than that...

    losing chicks for no reason?!

    Good luck, at least you have a group of survivors now :)

    HELP my silkie rooster has a huge lump on his back

    BTW, be very careful when you try to draw on a 'cyst' (?) like this. Make sure the needle is super sterile or you risk infecting it....

    How would you go about fattening up six birds in a month?

    How about going to the grocery store instead... they are animals, not eating machines for human consumption!

    Chicken Spa Day!

    I think chicken do go into a dust bath trance. Try picking one up in the middle of it, they are completely out of it....

    RIP Noir

    yes, keep your chickens safe if you love them. An unhappy chicken forced to sleep in the coop, is better than a dead chicken!

    HELP my silkie rooster has a huge lump on his back

    I would closely monitor his behaviour and appetite. If it doesn't bother him, I would see whether the size increases or decreases over time.

    severly injured chick

    Tough call, if the skull is open it will most likely get an infection. If you want to save it, you would need antibiotics at the very least. As much as I love animals, it might have a hard time surviving. This sucks... sorry!!!

    got my chickens:) help?

    Perhaps this will fix itself with age, since your roo is about a month younger. Eventually his testosterone will kick in (maybe around 4 months old) and he will likely kick the hens butts. Perhaps it is better that you get along with him, because that tends to be the bigger problem with chicken...

    losing chicks for no reason?!

    Not sure, but there is also the option that one or more chicken were sick and infected the others during the trip due to proximity, etc. But, more likely, the weakest ones died after the journey, in which case it should taper off now. It the dyeing persists I would think it is disease. Think...

    losing chicks for no reason?!

    Transport stress (how would you like to travel like chicks do???) and/or sick from the breeder.

    Should I need a heat lamp

    If you are not willing to spend the minimal money to keep one-week old animals at the correct temperature, maybe this isn't the right endeavour for you?

    What do you think they are?

    Given that they are from the feed store they could be any sort of mixture, with some cochin thrown in!

    Broken leg-- help!

    Is the leg broken? You can make a cast yourself with a lot of improvising... try googling casts for birds.

    My chicken is pecking its mum! Her comb is bleeding!

    Try putting Blue-Kote on the wound to cover up the colour.

    Should I need a heat lamp

    Not sure I would risk having my chicks die or suffer to save a few bucks on electricity... I have used a heating blanket under the box in the past and that has worked fine.
