    need HELP! Day old chick unable to walk or stand!

    A chick hatched probably this morning or yesterday night and I already know he has a birth defect because one of the chick's feet have messed up toes, they aren't EXTREMELY terrible as it is only two of the toes that are bent to the side. So I put the foot into a tape shoe like I saw on here...

    Accidently incubated eggs for a few hours may kill them?

    So I have this new hen who is currently laying her egg clutch in a nesting box in which I am hoping she goes broody on her clutch after laying all of the eggs completely. Right now she has 3 eggs but then a other hen who got kicked out of her nesting box decided to incubate the 3 eggs for about...

    My chicken's head is tilted to one side permanently

    I agree with her, Put the chick down in a humane way. Either it be by a injection, pill, or a more hands on approach with a axe or a type of sword. Just make it quick and painless if you decide to take the unfortunate chicken's life. It's always hard to make these decisions.

    Leaving 2 day old chicks outside with mothers?

    My chicks have two mothers and a nice and cozy nesting box to stay in that is on the ground. I don't think I would need to bring them inside at night as i live in FL and it usually is just about the 60-80s at night. Plus the two moms provide extra heat! Though I am not sure if i should still...

    Throwing out late or possibly dead egg?

    My two hens hatched about 4/5 eggs and the one egg that didn't hatch hasn't hatched for two days of the hens laying on it while feeding the chicks. I was wondering if I should wait a couple more days even though the egg is probably dead? I felt it when I went out to provide food for the chicks...

    Stopping random cock fights?

    I agree with you if it was only a little scuffle. The roosters make themselves bleed and rip off chunks of comb an wattles from each other. I wouldn't want to get rid of either or separate them from the group as then i would feel a little bad for that rooster who just had fighting in their blood...

    Stopping random cock fights?

    My two roosters start going at each other just randomly out of nowhere! If they are eating, they start fighting, if they are grazing they start fighting, If they are roosting they start fighting. My father who raised chickens for a while said to just let them fight it out and let the strongest...

    When do their legs stop growing?

    Chicks can live alone at 8 weeks old but that doesn't mean their legs stop growing at 8 weeks old like many believe! Their legs stop growing when they are fully matured. Roosters legs grow the most and get much more thicker then hens legs usually so watch out for the roosters you may need to get...

    When are chicks ready to be brought outside

    When your chicks have adolescent feathers, which they develop around 8 weeks old they can go outside and even stay in a outside coop overnight, if you don't have freezing temperatures of course. But if you don't want them staying with your other chickens just get a larger brooder so they have...

    Is chicken poop very bad for chicks to be near?

    My outside coop that houses my chickens during the night is starting to get pretty poopy under the roost and i was wondering if my new 3rd generation of chicks will start getting sick from all this poop? Before the poop from the chickens wasn't so bad as now so I was thinking i should clean it...

    My roosters think I'm a hen

    So i have two roosters that think I'm a female chicken. They dance around me and the more dominant rooster even chases away the other rooster if he gets close to me. I don't have the heart to chase my roosters around to leave me alone and i think this is the only way they will get close to me...

    Chicks pecking each other at the face!!

    My chicks are 6 weeks old and had no problems at all, no problems with health, food, space, water, predators and injury. Until today when the three male chicks started pecking each other at their still growing combs and wattles then went all out and started pecking at every single part of each...
