My baby died and I don’t know why.... I’m hysterical right now... at first beans was the only one but now carrot is all alone... I don’t know what to do... I came here for comfort and advice on what I should do... I just paid a little over $30 for chick supplies and now I have one... what’s the...
Oh my gosh I’m reading this because I have a lone chick (fortunately there’s a sibling in an egg right now) and it’s ADORABLE. I jsut put a mirror in there for my chick and she looked at it like “what the heck is this”
She or he is doing so much better! Welcome beans ❤️
we had a big scare with her yolk sav not being fully absorbed. She was weak and I was worried her legs would be splayed but luckily I was wrong.One slight problem.. she’s attatched to me and won’t stop chirping
Let me tell you what... I’ve had a male brown leg horn X female barred rock and that baby was beautiful. Her name was wilma and she was black.. when alter sun shined against her feathers you could see flecks of green and purple

I got my chicks when they FIRST arrived. Only one of mine passed but I think she ate something. Yes they do give out wrong breeds, however it’s kinda our responsibility to monitor which ones they are putting in the box! :)
I have kept mine in their coop for a couple weeks. I let them out occasionally but never for too long. If they get scared they will run back into the coop and then I’ll shut them up. Mine are maybe 5-6 weeks
Look for signs like fighting and being dominant. I know it’s hard to tell but l usually and able to tell the gender of my chicks at a day old. You have to really pay attention to their personality and the way they do things. My 4 week old rooster is constantly running around standing tall and...
