So our 9 week old brahma was acting sluggish on Saturday and by Sunday, I knew there was something wrong. She was just standing around all puffed up with her eyes closed. She is also making a whistling sound, instead of her normal peeps. She also wasn't protesting when I picked her up. She is...
Occasionally, I give my 6 week old chicks some yogurt in the mornings. Without fail, 2 or 3 of them will sneeze after eating some. It's not necessarily the same chickens.
They for sure weren't sneezing before, so is this them trying to clear something? Could they be allergic? Any insight welcome.
We are almost done with our coop and I would like to paint a name sign for our coop. I am having a hard time coming up with a name. I would like it to be Doctor Who AND chicken related. My coop isn't blue so calling it the tarnished is kinda out.
Anyone have a suggestion?
First time chicken mama here. So we got 3 chicks that we were going to give to a farmer after they feathered out. Long story short, I fell in love and got 3 more and coop is going up this weekend.
Anyone care to take a guess at breed and sex?
Left, 3 week old, "The Doctor"
Top, 3 weeks old...
Yesterday we introduced 3 new chicks to our flock. They are the same age, 3 weeks, as the chicks we had previously.
The Doctor seems to have been pecked as she now has a bald spot on her head. None of the other chicks harass her when I am looking, so I cannot isolate the problem chick.
Any advice?
