    Is this wry neck or something neurological?

    This chick hatched a little less than 48 hours ago during the night. I found him in the morning flopping around and laying on his back. Not my first rodeo with flip-floppers like that, and I had another one that kept winding up on his back so I followed my usual protocol of putting them in chick...

    Winter ventilation question in a hoop coop

    This spring we made a hoop coop tractor to raise some meat birds in. After we butchered the meat birds I hatched out some chicks and they are currently in the hoop coop. We had intentions of building an actual coop but we hit a few snags this summer that unfortunately consumed most of our time...

    Split beak, suggestions for healing? Anyone used tea bags and super glue?!

    Well I have a hen, now named BB (Broke Beak), a few weeks ago I noticed that she had a split in her beak. I did some searching on the forums but was still unsure of what to do with her. I decided to trim each side, since the split was all splayed out and had gotten rather long. I used dog...

    I got this guy out of the "Wyandotte" tub at TSC, HOWEVER, I am pretty sure that aint what he is! I had a few EE out of that batch I got and I am starting to think they should have put "Specialty" on that tub instead of Wyandottes... this guy looks like my EE in color but his comb is not the...

    D'uccles?

    I just wanted to confirm that these two pullets were d'uccles, the one looked like a mille fleur as a chick, but she does not have any coloring to her. The other looks like a blue to me but I just wanted to hear from someone with experience lol. Thank you in advance!

    What can I use to treat fire ant bites on a 5 week old chick?

    I did some searching here on the forums but most everything I found was about getting RID of fire ants.... I had a chick get stuck in a really strange place, still not sure how she did it, but when I found her this morning, ants had literally started trying to eat her alive. They mostly got...

    Raising a visually impaired (possibly blind) chick [Pic Heavy]

    Well last week I got a new batch of chicks at TSC. I had a little runt in the batch and after watching her like a hawk the first day, I realized she couldn't see, I assumed she was totally blind. Her little eyes were sunk in, and she just stood there looking around in a manner in which I've...

    SO much mud in my roofless run

    I have been doing some researching but everything seems to be aimed more towards people who have runs that are covered. I have two pens that don't free range with the rest of the chickens, one is a bachelor pad and the other is my Silkie pen. They have one of those metal storage buildings for...

    Easter Egger or Ameraucana???

    What I want to know is if these guys are Ameraucana, or EE. I'm sorry these are not the best pics, they wouldn't be still for their close up! This is Big Red and Goose. Goose (the grey one) looks awful dark in these pics, but he is such a beautiful color. Would be considered a "blue"...

    Blind Chick, any suggestions? (other than culling)

    I got some chicks at tractor supply on Wednesday and I got a couple of runts in my group. One of them I have come to the conclusion, is blind. Her eyes do not appear well developed, they are sunk in, and she just plain ol acts like she cannot see. At first I thought maybe she was dehydrated and...

    Are these buff orp chicks?

    I don't remember by other buff orps having these darker colored bars running down either side of their backs? They were solid colored. Maybe I'm just losing it lol. Are these buff orps? Or are they another breed? I have been looking online but can't figure it out! Here is a close up of...

    Staggered Hatch? **UNDER A BROODY** Updated

    Well, i have a hen named Blondie who I have been fighting for several months now. She is always going broody, but our roosters were not old enough until recently, so we had no fertile eggs. Well, a week or two ago, long story short, I found her sitting on a nest under my carport. The worst...
