    Have I splinted this right? - 2wk old chick with dislocation

    Hey everyone. Of my 3 chicks left, when I woke up this morning one appeared to have a broken leg. On closer inspection it was walking on it and moving it fine, but it collapsed and twisted the joint where scales meet feathers inward and the foot outward. It's been getting about alright, but...

    Not looking hopeful for one of my babies.

    One has looked troubled since it hatched. When it hatched it just laid around panting for way longer than the others. I was less energetic too when it did start walking around. Not it can't stand or even roll over anymore. It is breathing slowly and shallow and it feels cold to the touch. I...

    Twin egg ready to hatch, advice please?

    So when I set all my eggs in the home made incubator I kind of put in a variety just to see what happened. I seriously didn't expect even one hatch. I had planned at the end if they didn't hatch I would dissolve the shell and make a morbid gift of preserved fetal chickens for a friend (she likes...

    My chicks hatched!!! And a question

    Sorry I've disappeared lately. So much going on since the partner and I started our business. All our hens are laying, we butchered our excess roos for the first time, and I tried out a low tech home made incubator. The Temps and humidity got messed up A Lot! I thought we'd have none hatch, so...

    Can you feel the nearly ready to lay egg in the oviduct?

    My oldest hens are 16 weeks and youngest are 14 weeks. Mostly production reds, 3 easter eggers, one black astrolorpe (thinks shes a duck...) and generic pullets. I think they might be gold sex links but I'm not sure (But I AM sure they are GORGEOUS!) I regularly go out and catch as many as I...

    Are these Pekins?

    Someone dumped ducklings by the river, carrying crate and all. We rescued them, and I'm going to nurse them back to health. I'd like to know what they are though :) Thanks!

    Is this potential roo behavior?

    So I had 6 production reds from a straight run. When someone asked to buy laying hens from me I got 25 more 3 week old production reds all pullets on markdown at the feed store. They were showing signs of stress and plucking feathers. I figured once i got them home to less cramped quarters...

    are dusty pine wood chips really that bad?

    My youngest chicks are 3 weeks. I was using TSC large wood chips they recommended for reasons I do t even know. When those were out I got something different from the feed store. I didn't get to pick the type, they just hauled out a bag when I asked. I was skeptical because they were small and...

    Brown County Ohio

    My tiny rural county doesn't have the best Web presence. I'll probably go down there and ask, but maybe someone here knows. I know I can at least have *some* chickens, but not how many. I meet the state acreage requirements (10) and I found the building permit application does not require a...

    How much to charge for your Pullets

    Hi everyone! I know I am still super new, but I wanted to contribute this pricing table I created; especially since I created it by combining the advice found here at BYC. Short background as to why I put this together: I just got my flock, and I have people coming at me like crazy asking...

    Mystery white fuzzy 4-5 week old chick

    This is a bantam from a straight run. I have *no* idea what it is. It's super soft and fluffy almost like a bunny. I thought the fluffy cotton tail it had was down that wouldn't let go, but it's growing MORE of it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi from Brown County Ohio!!:)

    So I have been lurking for a while. I have wanted chickens for all of my life, and finally got them! Every internet search I have done has brought me to a BYC thread. I now search this instead of google! I hesitated to join originally because I thought the forum was exclusively for owners of...
