This chick was born last night, we had to help it out of the shell. I left it in the incubator until this morning and has splayed leg and curled toes and couldn't walk. I have hobbled it for the splay leg and band aid on both feet for the toes. It just falls over. Any suggestions?? It's away...
I have some 5 week old black copper marans and today noticed poop like this? I just started letting them free range some with the other chickens, is this normal or do I need to worm them. They are on dumor 24% chick feed and have been since hatched.

About 2-3 weeks ago i noticed one chicken was having respiratory issues and i ended up having to doctor 13 chickens with the Tylan 50 injections 2xper day for 5 days each because they all ended up with it except for the teenagers that were in the run next to the hens...a couple of the hens...
Good morning,
I am at a loss of what to do about my chickens with no feathers! They have plenty of room over (about 15sq ft per chicken or more when in the coop & run), i have been feeding meat bird feed with the higher protein mixed with laying pellets, black oil sunflower seeds, scratch, and...
I'm pretty sure I know the answer as to what the buff silkie is but just want to confirm and see what your thought is on the white silkie and the polish chicks. They are all 6 weeks old
Picked him up today at A poultry trades days, he's very sweet. His toe nails are really long and he acts like he doesn't want to walk around on the wire floor that's in the coop. Any tips on clipping his nails? The lady says he is two years old.
Its A little chili today and windy they are Almost 6 weeks old. I came out here today and the buff oprington was dead, laying in front of the coop door, not a mark on her. It rained alot yesterday, I have no clue what happened to her. Can the other hens kill her?
I picked these out of the assorted bantam bin at TSC the other day because I knew one was a silkie and I've been wanting a silkie but you have to buy 4, so this is what I got. Do you think the buff colored one is also a silkie? I was told the other two are silver laced polish bantam, does anyone...
Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but i took 7 of our girls out to the coop this past weekend (They are all about 7 weeks old). We have a raised coop with rabbit wire on the bottom for open concept. There are not any windows in the coop, only the coop door (that stays...
I posted a picture of Wynonaa few weeks ago asking If Roo or Hen. I was told to post again at 7 weeks.
Can anyone tell now?? She is the silver laced wyandotte with more coloring.
I got two of these at tractor supply today along with two silkie... they were in the assorted bantam trough. Just wondering what kind they are. The silkies were in the bantam trough also.
This is one of my silver lace wyandotte that I got from a local feed store, he said they were all pullets but my husband thinks this one may be a rooster. What are your thoughts?
Is it ok to keep your baby chick in a cardboard box for your brood box with the heat lamp on one end and what temp is too hot for them? We are concerned with the formaldehyde that the boxes are made of.
I am new to owning Chickens, my husband is not. I have wanted chickens for a very long time, so i am really excited that today is finally here. I live in East Texas and will be getting 3 Silver laced Wynodettes and 3 Rhode Island Reds today. My Dominiques will be in on Thursday and i plan on...
