    Sickly 3 week old chick? Please help

    I have a 3 week old chick. The dog mouthed him a couple days ago and the chick went into shock. I warmed him up and he started perking up a bit. But his mom doesnt want him so I'm raising him. He likes to sleep in my shirt. But he seems too lethargic. He's eating and drinking, but he mainly eats...

    How old is my little chick, Miracle?

    I'm thinking one week old. She's getting grey feathers on her wings now. She's also taking more of the shape of a chicken than a fluffy golf ball of a chick When will she start to become more independent (no more need for warmth, able to defend herself, fly, etc) Can't wait until she's able to...

    Is My hen broody?

    I was cleaning up the yard. We have an old silver garbage can that just sits there, it's covered in dirt to the very top. Well, on top of the dirt sat my hen Lucy. When I approached her, she screeched at me and her eyes looked really wild. I called my brother and he plucked her off the can...

Now here's the amazing Wow part! Today we had a HUGE storm. Wind, rain, lightning, thunder---the whole...

    Speckled Egg?

    I have 2 eggs... one egg is getting very speckled... what does that mean? The 2nd hasn't changed a bit, but this one is... I am concerned. It was speckled to begin with... maybe it's just my imagination but there seems to be a lot more speckles.

    Hens Ignoring their eggs?

    I took my bantams' eggs for a few hours before putting them back (long story, lol) and my hens are not even acknowledging that they have eggs now. They pecked at the eggs a little when I returned them and they even dented one. (Will that one be OK?) There are 3 eggs right now, they'll probably...

    Hola! ;)

    Hello everyone, my friend told me about this site and said I absolutely needed to go on it. I've got 5 bantam hens and 2 bantam roosters. I'm still kind of getting used to how this site works but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon! I have 3 basset hounds (all good with the chickens, even the...

    Urgent! Chicken Egg, No Incubator!

    My hens laid some eggs, most likely fertilized since we have a rooster. I didn't want them to be cooked, so i snuck one out from the batch before my mom collected all of them. I now have one stuck under my armpit. The egg was cold this morning but now its very warm. I don't have an incubator or...
