    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    Just to update you all, the poor baby is no longer with us. It passed in it's sleep, peacefully. I don't think I will ever leave chicks with my hens again, after this incident.

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    She is drinking water. Not eating anything. The eyelids have been pulled off and they're next to the beak, just there. Like extra skin. One eye ball is exposed completely. The other is covered by skin flaps. I don't think it will ever see from one eye. And this other exposed eye, I can't...

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    That's all I have applied, neosporin. Is there nothing I can give orally mixed in the water?

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    Thank you for your concern. The 2 broody hens were isolated since a week, so it was just them and the chicks. Yes, I've applied the antibiotic ointment, but about the eyes, I really cannot tell what has happened. It looks like the skin flaps have sort of accumulated on the eyes, one eye is...

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    I haven't yet, as I just found her like this 2 hours ago. I was thinking if I should give any oral painkillers (diluted) and I will surely start the vitamins now. I'm just really concerned about her eyes, I'm not sure whether to try to clean them and remove debris or just leave them and let...

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    Thank you. I wish I had gotten there sooner, I always incubate my eggs and hatch them myself, this one time I decided to let them just sit on them because they were broody. Two hens of mine were sharing the eggs and sitting on them, I'd find a different number of eggs everyday under each, they'd...

    Completely skinned newborn chick (neck to eyes)!!

    ...upright. Please if anyone has any suggestions or has had the same experience, I would be eternally grateful if you could help me. I cannot bear seeing this poor chick like this, it has the will to survive. I've attached pictures for you all to see. (*Graphic content*) Thank you in advance!

    Lemon blue rooster?

    That's what I thought when I saw the chart. If I incubate say 6 I usually have 3 blues 1 black 2 whites/splash.

    Lemon blue rooster?

    Oh I see. Well he's been indoors for the first 6 months and these colours came out during that time. Then I built a totally shaded coop and run and moved them there, because it's super sunny and hot here, plus we get bad storms too so they're completely protected. He hates the sun anyways, stays...

    Lemon blue rooster?

    I wonder how the white chicks will turn out to be.

    Lemon blue rooster?

    It was cloudy when I took the first few pictures, he looks the same indoors too. But yes they do get a good amount of corn .

    Lemon blue rooster?

    This chart is so helpful, thank you. I actually have black chicks too. But I thought maybe they're from the other bichen rooster. Sometimes In a batch I get blue, white and black or I get only blues and blacks. Is it possible to get black chicks from a splash?

    Lemon blue rooster?

    It's been 8 months and I still can't figure out what colour he is. I have a bunch of babies I hatched which have a mix of white,yellow and blue colours on them, the rest are pure blues, since the mum's a blue. When people ask me what colour are they I have no idea what to say :idunno. He's...

    Thanks! :)

    Help! Day old chick choking!

    Thanks for your advice, I ended up just trying to calm it down and gently rubbing it's neck downwards to help swallow anything that was stuck or soothe any pain or irritation. It eventually went to sleep, woke up doing the same thing on and off, monitored it all night, and today it's fine. It...

    Help! Day old chick choking!

    They seem open, I'm utterly confused about how to help it. It's all my fault, it hadn't drank even a drop since it hatched so I thought maybe just a bit and it backfired. Is there anything else I can do? Because it isn't coughing up the water. The nostrils look clear but what if water went in...

    Help! Day old chick choking!

    My chick just hatched almost 24 hours ago and I tried to make it drink water, now it looks like it's choking! It keeps swallowing, head up, shaking the head violently. What do I do?! Please help!?

    I Need Some Advice

    Sorry to hear that. Sometimes it takes time getting used to. Slow and steady wins the race. If you expose them to him for a little while each day they might warm up to him. I've introduced small roosters before to my polish hens in the past and it took around 2 weeks for them to get used to...
