I have two 4 week old chicks and I’m starting to think two of them might be roos. Any idea? white one is a Plymouth Rock Black one is a Silver laced Wyandotte any thoughts?

Hey everyone. I have 4 werk old chicks. All are doing well; eating, drinking, scratching, and growing! One of the four consistently has weird poops. The other three have typical pellet like poops that are brownish. This one has orangey/brown slimey (maybe not the best word to describe) poop. She...

Hello everyone! The last week has gone really well with all my chicks. If you have followed my other posts, you know I’ve had pasty butt and temp problems. I thought all was going well until today... I noticed that my white Plymouth Rock (who has grown twice as fast as the others) is looking a...

Hey y’all, me AGAIN! I feel like things keep changing so new questions come up. I am curious how to regulate chick temps on a hot day. We keep having these random 1-2 days where it is 80+ then the rest of the time it’s rainy and cold. How do y’all regulate their temp with a heat lamp and...

Hello everyone! when I purchased my chicks, I was given two immune boost items. 1 called CORID (amprolium) and a second one that is just called Immune Boost. I was told to give the Amprolium everyday in their water for the first three days. And then rotate between the amprolium and immune boost...

Hey everyone. I just got chicks today. Earlier they were moving around the brooder, napping, eating, and drinking. Not all huddled together. Now they are all huddled together (sleeping?) on the side of the brooder. They aren’t huddled under the heat nor are they huddled as far away as possible...
