    Tips on injecting Tylan 50 into 3-4 week old chicks?

    Seems I might have a contagious respiratory illness going on with one of my chicks. I've gotten a lot of help from a local woman about how to treat, but I'm scared poopless about injecting anything into my chicks. I'm also not sure what size needle I should be using, either. So here are my...

    VIDEO: Is this coughing or sneezing, and what do I do?

    I've got one 3wk old chick who is sick. She was MUCH worse, with very labored breathing and constant coughing, neck stretching and chirping with no voice, but I started them on Corid this past Saturday morning and she's much better, VERY active as well as eating & drinking fine, but still has a...

    Chicks no longer using MHP!?

    I know I've heard that maybe they're too warm for it, but I'm just nervous and have to ask, because I had 2 chicks die on my y'day (out of 6) and I just got 3 new ones and I'm trying to make sure we have no more fatalities, as I'm not sure my daughter's heart could survive it. The situation...

    Mama Heating Pad troubles... quick question - please help!

    My 1-2 week old chicks were doing fine in their brooder and sleeping under the MHP every night. Yesterday I moved them to a new, much larger brooder and when I just went up to check on them, none of them had spent the night under the MHP - 5 were cuddled up together in one corner (which is...

    2 wk old chicks - is this blood in poop?

    Hi all - woke up and found this in the brooder. The chicks who did it are very active and all over the place, eating and drinking without issue. I say that because I found this on top of the MHP and the ones who can jump up there are the biggest and most active of all the chicks. There are three...

    Is this wing droop?

    I've had these chicks since 3/30 and one of them is teeny tiny and lethargic, and has been from the start. She's growing very slowly compared to the others, and she spends 90% of her time under the MHP while the others are all over the place, getting up on top of it, etc. She's also half the...

    1 week old chick is TINY, not really growing, and sluggish - help?

    Hi all - I'm a newbie to all things chicks and chickens, so please be gentle with me, I'm doing my best and have no frame of reference to base anything on. Got 6 chicks on Friday.

    Chicks first time outside - ok to eat what they find?

    This is our first trip outside. Its only 62 degrees but there's no wind and the sun is very warm. I also have a box in the enclosure with pine shavings in it for them to go to if they are feeling cold but so far they haven't gone in it. The youngest chicks are a week old and the oldest are two...

    Feeling overwhelmed and having second thoughts!

    I just ordered my coop and now I'm researching making my own brooder, and in watching a few videos and reading a few things, I'm starting to feel overwhelmed and as if I won't be able to do this. I have 3 small children, one of which was a high needs infant (she is our foster/adopted child who...

    Would this work as a temporary solution?

    I want a huge, beautiful coop with gigantic run - but it's not financially nor time-wise in the cards this year. I don't yet have chickens but I'm desperate to start, as I've been waiting years to live in a house where I could keep chickens (just moved into our new house at the end of last...

    In the research stages in Raleigh, NC

    Hello! Just moved into a house in a non-HOA neighborhood where many neighbors have chickens, and I hope to as well. I am one who researches something to death before I dive in and do something, so I literally have been reading up on chickens for the past 3 years, just waiting until I could...
