    Wheezing and Gasping. Three chicks down out of Eleven!! HELP!!

    I have no idea what's wrong with three of my girls. Two are gasping for breaths and whenever they breathe, it sounds like a rattle or multiple bubbles are popping. My White Leghorn is the worst. She hasn't been out of the roost all day and I'm worried I'll lose her today. She arches her neck...

    What breed are these two chicks? I'm hoping Easter Eggers? :D

    I got a couple of chicks about five weeks ago, and their reaching the age of 7 weeks. They have most of their adult feathers and I'm hoping someone out there can recognize what breed they are. They both have two pairs of sharp feathers in their tails, yet all the others feathers scream out that...

    laying eggs unknown, breed unknown

    Yin, my Bantam chicken, is the only one that hasn't laid yet. She's about 32 weeks old and her comb and wattle suggests that she might be ready to lay. What do you guys say? She's the smaller chick with the white earlobes. Also, if you recognize what breed she is, that would be helpful if you...

    Sick Pullet (with pics) -- Lethargic, droopy tail, and not eating or drinking much...

    My chick Camellia (about 8 or so months old) is sick, and I have no idea what's wrong with her :( She's been like this before, but it only lasted two days and then she got better again. But this time, it's been going on for much longer. She's very lethargic, she's not getting up to eat unless...

    Jersey Giant??

    I have written a post similar to this one about the same girl, but now she's seven months old and much, MUCH bigger. Onxy, my black pullet, is bigger than even my oldest girls, which are around eight months old. Before, people said that she was an Australorp since she had white bottoms on her...

    Rhode Island Red?

    I recently got a new chick and the people at the feed store told me that she was a Rhode Island Red, but since she has white feathers, I doubt she's full Rhode Island. She's fully feathered, but very malnourished. She small, but with some good food and water, I bet she'll grow to her right size...

    Hen stopped laying. Is something wrong? :(

    My red star is a new layer, and I know that new layers are inconsistent, but it has been nine days since she last laid an egg. The last egg she laid was a no-shelled egg and it happened some time during the night since I found yolk splattering the ground of the roost. She's almost 23 weeks old...

    Chicken sick? showing behaviors that she never done before.

    One of my new layers have been acting very strange. During the night about four days ago, she laid an oops-egg and she hasn't been acting like herself since then and she hasn't laid any more eggs (she laid her first five continuously before the oops-egg). The first thing I noticed was that she...

    Egg Laying at Night?

    One out of six of our girls had started laying already (the Red Star), using the nesting boxes and giving us pretty brown eggs. But I think (emphasis on I THINK) my White Leghorn has laid her first egg... either last night or early this morning, and from the smell, it seems like it was around 1...

    Can you tell me what breed this black pullet is?

    I have gotten another chicken to replace the chick that turned out to be a cockerel and I want to know what breed she is. At first I thought she was a Cemani, but her skin isn't black. She has SUPER soft black feathers that you can see a whole rainbow in a single feather. She has black feet and...

    What gender is this young chicken???

    I have had this chick for about 11 weeks now, and when I first got her, They said that they only had females in the bin. When we brought her and another chick home, I wanted to introduce them slowly to my two older chicks, which were four weeks older. Yang (the chick in question) had this...

    My young pullet has a hurt leg. Help!

    My young red sex link pullet (about 5 weeks old) has a hurt leg. I was with her and three others teaching them how to use their new water dispenser when she started to lay down consistently. I noticed when she walked, she kept her right leg up. I didn't see her hit anything to the extent of...

    Is she a silkie or a mix?

    I got two bantam chicks from a feed store a week ago, and I looked up what breed the little white one could be (I think the little black one is an Australorp). The white one has a little "top hat" on her head, five toes, and feathered feet, just like a silkie. But I learned that silkies have...

    Introducing new chicks

    I want to get new chicks, maybe about a month or two from now, but I'm worried about something someone said. He said that if I introduced new chicks to my small flock, that they would kill the chicks, and if I wait to introduced them once they are older, they'll peck and chase the younger ones...

    What are the ages of these chicks?

    I got these chicks three days ago on Saturday, and the feed store owner didn't tell us what age they were. I have a Red Sex Link named Camellia and a White Leghorn named Orchid. They seem to already have their flight feathers, and I tried looking up the life cycle of chickens, but I found...

    What type of chickens are my two sweethearts?

    I got these two darlings about two days ago, and I absolutely love them! But the more I look up details about these two, the more confused I get. They told me that they had Red Sex Links, Sex Links, and White Leghorns. The White chick looks just like the chicks in the pictures that I found, my...
