My husband made me another coop. It is almost an exact replica if the one he made last year when I first got chickens. Well I just got a flock of silkies, so they needed their own coop away from the big girls.
This is the spot.
Hi all. My 1.5 yo LF mixed flock hens are having digestive issues. They have liquid poo. And are also pooping bright green. What is this?? What should I do? The worst is my BSL Sue. She stopped laying in March at not even a year old. Started laying Lash Eggs shortly thereafter. Hasn't been...
I have a silkie chick that I had to help out of the shell yesterday. She had zipped about an inch hole and left it. She was peeping at me for about 24 hours that way. So I got her out. Now that she is out of the incubator and I can inspect her, she is not well. She is sitting on her hocks...
At what point do you step in and assist in a hatch? This is my first hatch. I have 5 healthy Frizzled Sizzles that have hatched already. I have one that has zipped about an inch but has not made any progress in 12 hours. It has been chirping and breathing heavy. I think it is in a bad...
This is my first hatch ever. It was just a sper of the moment decision when it happened. My question, Is it too late to open the bator to put in the bowl with the sponge? I am on day 2 of Lock Down... I completely forgot to do that. Right now I have the humidity at around 55% I was told it...
Hi,
I hope someone can help. My usually bossy (I think becoming leading lady in the flock) bared rock 12 week old pullet, is following all the other girls around and just napping. She just hunkers down and tucks her head behind her wing and falls asleep. All the other girls seem fine. They...
Hi,
Im a newb, and bought 5 chicks at chick day 3 weeks ago. Of the 5, 3 seem boyish... Ugh! Can I get a bit of help? I will post all 5, and my 6th which is my silkie and too young to sex. The first 3 photos are my biggest concern.
Black Sex link, may be an Ostridge! VERY manly...
Hi all,
I got 5 - (5 day old) chicks Saturday March 30th, and another 2 day old Friday April 5th. I started the first set on Medicated food the day after I got them because they all had a tiny sneeze. I also gave them an antibiotic and Electrolyte in their water. When I got the last chick...
Hi,
I am a NEWBIE! I have 5 two week old chicks. 1 RIR, 1 Black Sex link, 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Amaracuana. And 1 one week old Slikie. They are all great. However. Lately I noticed the Black sex link being real bossy. She sparred one of the barred rocks twice. And just now sat on someone...
Im new to chickens. We got 5 chick on Saturday. We are keeping them indoors and have a heat light on them. The temp is around 85-95 F but some of the chicks seem to be sneezing every now and then. Is that bad?
