Okay thanks❤️

The front piece fell off, now it is just tender. She is isolated in an old rabbit hutch in the chicken run with moist food and water. I put hydrogen peroxide on her beak and rinsed with water. I think she is drinking but not eating. I’m not sure what I will do overnight, possibly a milk crate in...

As long as it’s not completely raw or burnt I’m happy!

I have her isolated from the others in my bathtub for now with mashed up food with water and water. What should I do?

This chick broke her beak, unknown how. When I saw her she was being swarmed by the rest of the chicks (because of the blood), I took her out and rinsed it. She is inside with me now, and the break is very small, I am mostly concerned about bullies. Any advice welcome.

The first is definitely a cockerel, the second looks like one to but I’m no expert

I no longer have the body. All my of my other chickens seem fine today so I am hoping there is nothing more to worry about. Thanks for all of the guesses, tips and helpful information.

Chickens are free range and get there own grit, I only provide grit in the brooder to the chicks. It did not smell bad from afar. I do still have the body, I can check.

I did not smell it.

Yeah he has always looked like that

I am worried this could be contagious (whatever it is) and possibly harm my hens, the chicks or myself. If not contagious I wonder if it could be genetic, and my chicks hatched from eggs fertilized by him could be at risk.

Today I had all my chickens locked up in their run (often I free range if I’m home) and I was letting the littles (4 week olds) run around with the rest of my flock. I went inside for 1 hour maybe 2 hours, and when I come back out to check on the chicks, my silkie rooster was dead in the middle...

Hello! Welcome to BYC! We are excited to have you and help with any questions you might have, be it ducks chickens or other poultry.

Where are you? If your near another member they could maybe lend you an incubator

I have a friend that wants one, and I can keep one maybe. But the others I will have to figure something out

Yeah I know :(

Thanks for the input guys! I will have to figure out what to do with the extra roosters if there is more than two.

Welcome to byc! And glad to have another member from MA!

These are mostly a mix of cinnamon queen or golden sex link hen with a silkie rooster. The two black ones at the end are barnyard mixes. Thanks in advance for any guesses! (Just one picture of each bird) the third one and the fifth one look a little bit cockerel like to me.
