    Chicken attacked- infection?

    My sweet girl I presume was attacked by a predator Friday afternoon/ evening. She initially had a laceration on the back of her neck that had clotted blood on top of it. I’ve been cleaning the wound with chlorahexadine and saline wound wash and applying Neosporin to it. I’ve been keeping her...

    Stepped on chick— now she’s walking weird!!!

    Any advice welcome!! About five minutes ago I was putting my broody hen and her chicks back in the coop (we live in the woods so I let her out once or twice a day with the chicks to go outside when she’s feeling restless). I don’t like to leave her our for too long in case a raccoon, hawk, or...

    Baby chick died and I don't know why

    I don't even know what to say I feel so bad. I picked up my (maybe 1-3 day old) Silkie chick about 12 hours ago from a feed store that gets its chicks from hoovers. The rest of my chicks (5) are supposed to come in two weeks, so since I had one coming early I was going to introduce it to a hen...

    Introducing chicks to a broody hen when one of the chicks is 2 weeks older

    Hey ya'll! I finally decided to order more chicks: 2 salmon faverolle, and one of each, a dark brahma, appenzeller spitzhauben, gold laced wyandotte, and silkie bantam. However, the silkie bantam would be getting in on the 3rd of May, whereas the rest of the chicks would get here the 19th. I was...

    What day my eggs are on

    Hey! This is the first time I've had a broody hen, and we're really excited for her eggs to hatch. However, when she finally decided to sit on eggs for good (the other ones she'd abandon or they turned out to be infertile), I forgot to mark which day they were layed. As a result, I have two eggs...

    Is it okay to sprinkle DE in nesting boxes where hen is sitting on eggs?

    I recently noticed mites in my chicken coop and bought DE to sprinkle in the coop. When our hen gets off the eggs we can see the eggs are covered in mites (probably 20 on each egg) but they seem to mostly be dead after spraying my chickens (I don’t remember the name of the spray but it...

    Broody hen switches sitting on different eggs

    I have one broody hen that will sit on eggs, protecting them (running and screaming when we go into the coop to collect other eggs and give them food) and barely leaving the nesting box. But all of a sudden after a few days she'll switch to a different nesting box, sitting on new fresh eggs and...

    Wondering which breed my hatchery choice rare chick is

She’s three weeks old, black (not grey, although she might look it in the pictures) with white feathers near her tail and yellow around her face and neck. She was a hatchery choice rare so the options...
