    Please help

    If there were chicks im the eggs they are probably dead now, for chicks to hatch they need a constant temperature. Do put the chick with it's mother at night at least, they desperately need 33 to 34 degrees Celsius to survive the first three days and the temperature varies little by little each...

    Please help

    If your chicken isn't laying on the nest then you definitely will need a brooder like mentioned to keep the chick warm and just as soon as it has enough energy to stand on its own and move around you can put it back with it's mother at night. If those eggs have chicks then you need to keep them...

    Balding chick

    I have this chick that was born normal, but the more time has passed, the more it's lost it's feathers. What could this be? Not sure if our rooster fathered him, my husband thinks it might be some mutation from another race although there are no bald roosters near by, but there are in the...

    I guess she must have removed it and most likely was stung in the head, nothing on her feet.

    Chicken swelling possibly bee sting

    Gave her 83mg of effervescent aspirin (without the fervescense) and I have her locked up. From my experience walking around and activity makes the swelling worst.

    Sick chicken pictures what does she have?

    Hi everyone I needed to consult, thought my chicken had canker, we removed the yellow masses about a week ago and gave her metronidazole (5 days), but they've come back they now look more grey. Don't think she has fowl pox... she doesn't have lesions anywhere, eats fine, hasn't lost weight...

    Sick chicken, what should I do?

    ...known this all early on when I saw her act strange. It upsets me to be learning so much on the go at the expense of our flock's pain or death :/ *sigh*. The one thing that I can say about having chickens and occasionally loosing some (either by disease or predators) is that I have learned to...

    Know it's not in the food category, but I've seen videos of chickens with xylophones, and they seem very entertained.

She barely fought me at first when I have her the electrolytes with a syringe and food, now she fights and tried to pull away; she's starting to eat by herself. Seems dizzy and a bit weak though...
