I've had leg issues with this chick before and I thought they were getting better. He was standing and walking with only a slight limp, but when I checked on him today and he won't even stand on it. He is;) on pine shavings, so slipping shouldn't be an issue. He's about 6 weeks old and his other...
I'm not sure what type of chickens I have. The brown one I hatched from some eggs I got from a friend.
And the other three I got from a feed store to keep the other one company.
The dark one in the back of the picture is a blue/gray color and still kinda fluffy (hard to tell in the picture)...
My chick injured his leg somehow and I made him a sling to see if it will help. But he keeps trying to get out of it. What can I do to keep him in it. I'll post a picture of what I came up with originally.
My 4 week old baby chick has started limping. I noticed earlier today he was laying in a corner and didn't want to get up. When he did he kinda wobbled and sat back down. I went to check on him just a little bit ago and noticed that he doesn't want to put weight on his leg. His toes aren't...
One of my baby chicks eye seems to be runny and crusting up. I've put a warm compress on it to get the goo/crust off and that helps temporarily. It started out as being watery and now it's gotten to where it will crust up. When I wiped it this morning some clear goo came out and I put some...
My chicks are about a week old, and was wondering when I can let them start to play outside. (Supervised).
I live in Texas and it's a beautiful day out, could I take them outside for a little bit or are they not old enough?
After trying to hatch a few eggs only one survived. I eventually want to let it be with other chickens but have read that if they grow up alone they won't be able to socialize well with other chickens. Would it be best to buy a few more babies to kept it company and let it get used to other...
My chick hatched last night with the yolk not absorbed yet, this morning he is still alive but it looks like the intestines are now coming out of his navel. What can I do to help it? I have it wrapped in a damp paper towel and sitting up in the incubator to see if he will try and absorb it but...
This is my first time hatching chickens. I have a still air incubator that I've kept at 99.5 degrees and between 55-65% humidity. They have been in there since 8/24 and began hatching today. One was born earlier with no issues until he hatched. He has (from what I've read) the yolk sac still...
I'll be posting a new thread,
I need some help with one of my new chicks born with the yolk not absorbed yet!
If you can help please let me know!
Thanks!
