This is the second time I have come across this. They get super weak....legs have no control etc. They look to be completely delirious.
I can't be the first person to see this in young chicks. What am I doing wrong?
Most recovered with antibiotics, poli vi sol and sunshine, but we lost the 2...
She was fine this morning.,....she is inside only with very tiny babies 1/4 her size and she is only little born Aug 3. she is in the house in a clean brooder, I have no idea what could have happend. I went in to play with them and check food and she way laying weird and I picked her up and she...
being this is our first time with chicks, it came quite quickly when I realized I had to get them seperated from the roos, so hubby used wood and stuff he had around the shop and made this for them and my son cut in the window for the kids to be able to watch!! I thought they did a great job for...
I have 4 tiny light pullets, 8 tiny dark pullets and one dark roo.
I can't really tell which are which! they are only a few weeks old, but it seems some of the dark are chestnut and some are grayish?
Also, someone told me that dark brahma roos are a different color all together than the...
I just wanted to put a note out there to say that I got the best customer service and the most beautiful sweet blue giants you could ever imagine!! A pullet and a roo. the pullet thinks she is the mama to the hatchlings, never pecking at them once, and they climb all over her!! And T-Rex, is a...
I am only on my second batch of babies, the first I used a starter feed, this time the bag I got was purina start and grow medicated feed. these babies have liquid almost for stool and the stench is UNREAL! I know poop stinks, but this is very obviously a different rank smell and watery stools...

I got a red, black and white cochin frizzle hachling a week or so ago, and both the red and black have VERY obvious curls on the wing feathers coming in. The white has none. The are all the same size and age. Is it possible she just won't be a frizzle or do whites curl later?
Thanks!!
red, white and black. The white one hasn't curled wings yet but the other two have so I am not sure about her....or him
And, a quick picture of Happy Feet. He is our Black Jersey Giant Baby Roo and I just love his face
I had no idea that the hatcheries would mark the roos, is this purple beak a marking? None of the other brahmas have it and I only got one roo, but it might be the color of his beak! I have never seen a mark so I don't know
Thanks!
We think this polish jumped and touched her head on the heat lamp when she was little, and we treated with antibiotic ointment and kept her away from the others until it wasn't red. Now it seems to be flaring up again!! And the feathers aren't coming in. This has been about 3 months now!
Anyone...
I don't know why I thought I would know which were which!! Anyone recognize any of these newly hatched babies to be either light brahmas, dark brahmas, blue standard cochin (2), 3 bantam frizzle cochins*red, black and white), black jersey giants (4)
Thanks!
Thanks for your help!!

Finally, we can actually see and hold them!!! These are from Maria Hall, who was so awesome to work with!! We have a little girl and little boy
In their awkward dino stage, but still beautiful to mama!!!
Are they not just darling????? I am in love! Now I need to name them
Oh I am soooooo in love. All the chicks in perfect health it seems!!!
the blue jerseys are older, one male one female and they are my special favorites now!!!!
