    Little nugget growing up

    So this little (hopefully a lady) is just about 14 weeks now. She’s half silkie + araucana/polish cross. She’s just started clucking today and I can’t believe how quickly she’s grown. She was an accidental baby and she was a solo chick with a silkie for a mother. They are still very close but...

    Is this egg dead?

    Had this egg under a broody hen and I can’t see the embryo anymore. Is that a blood ring around the yolk? I want to be sure before I remove it. Forgot to add it’s about day 5

    Chicken has bubbles coming out of one eye.

    So we have 2 brown layer hens who started sneezing and had runny noses the day we got them. They were fine up until a couple hours after we got them home. One started sneezing then the next a few more hours later. They were treated with tetracycline for 14 days and have improved. Both look much...

    My polish frizzle just turned 16 weeks and started laying the exact same day. O_O

    I’ve never had polish chickens before but I’ve had silkies and various layer hens. I’ve had this little girl since she was a day old and this Thursday she turned 16 weeks and laid her first egg. She’s already laid 3 in total. Talk about an over achiever. I had no idea they could lay that young...

    No wattles at all but crowing? 14 week polish chicken

    Alright now I’m confused. This is a rooster right? Everyone had said this was a girl but “she” has been crowing all day like a rooster. I was always suspicious of that tail and a sudden growth spurt. I’ll add a link to a recording so you can all hear. I wouldn’t mind it so much but I already...

    6 week old light sussex (plus 2 polish chicks) gender?

    Haven’t had the best luck this past week. We lost 2 of our babies to coccidiosis and thought we were going to lose another from what we thought could have been a respiratory infection but turned out to just be choking or possible impacted crop (may never know which). Went to bed expecting to...

    Can I save my chicks from coccidiosis once the blood starts?

    Title odd yes but I need to know. I had one chick show signs for less than 2 days before dying in my arms today. Already treating with cocciprol since this morning but another was already starting to show blood and it’s getting darker like the last chick. She’s not weak yet and has been eating...

    Is this coccidiosis??? Please help!

    So I’ve got a 4 week old vorwerk chicken who has has had multiple poos with blood/clots in it. But I also believe she’s done at least a few normal ones as well. I’ve added a photo of it below but it’s not the best example as it was onto fabric. She’s eating normally and running around and no one...

    Should I turn get rid of heat lamp? 3 week olds inside

    So I’ve been trying to transition these 3 week old chicks off from a heat lamp because I have to share a room with them and it’s kinda hard to sleep with it but also because they are inside and most are almost feathered. It’s summer here and it’s making my room even warmer. My room is at lowest...

    So she’s about 14 weeks and we got her only a few weeks ago and she’s been fine but suddenly this morning she was just sitting and didn’t respond when I walked in and when I picked her up she wasn’t able to stand up. Her eyes were closed and she barely responded to me touching her feet. She’s...

    New chicks after loss of old flock

    So earlier this year I raised a group of 4 isa brown chicks to about 11 weeks. They were beautiful and lovely girls and were enjoying living outside with my bigger girls. (2 Silkies, one older isa brown and a ancona chicken all over 1 year) Everything was fine and we hadn't seen foxes in a while...

    All pullets?

    So my children are just past 11 weeks now and I just wanted to ask your opinions on if they are all girls. They are just starting to cluck now and are squeaky teens. They’ve been living outside with our big girls for over a month and they are obsessed with the garden. They have been climbing the...

    Gender of my 4.5 week old chicks?

    So my babies are just about 4.5 weeks old and almost fully feathered and I was wondering what gender they are. Any ideas would be very helpful to this first time chick raiser! If it's too early I will repost in a week or two but wanted to see if any signs yet :D The pictures are in order with...

    3 week old chick much smaller than her siblings.

    So I have 4 chicks that are just about 3 weeks now and one of them seems to always have been that bit smaller. Her wings are only just now reaching her tail and her tail feathers are about a cm smaller than the rest. She’s physically smaller and though it’s hard to see in photos, today I really...

    Would just past 2 weeks be too early to remove the heat lamp if they are inside a warm room?

    So my 4 isa brown chicks have just gone past 2 weeks as of today and are perfectly happy running around my room without their heat lamp and more often than not they seem to pant a little and get overheated. The lamp is about 10cm above the cage top and I cannot adjust it higher since stupidly it...

    My first chicks growth from day 2-8

    These are my first babies after having 4 adult chickens for the last year! A week prior to getting these babies i'd had a failed hatch attempt where all 8 eggs either didn't grow or stopped growing about 6 days in. These guys have been a joy to watch grow so far :D I got them on day 2 and...

    Is this egg bad?

    So basically this egg was developing well and at day 10 (today) I started to see this dark ring around the baby. Does that mean this egg has passed away? I really hope I am wrong since I’m already down to 3 eggs left but I am beginning to lose hope that any will hatch 😞 2 were yolkers and...

    Hello!

    My name is Hannah and I am about to turn 21 next month and I have 4 chickens at the moment. I've had chickens since I was about 10? We had 3 brown hens who we kept for about 2 years until we had to move into a house where we were unable to keep many pets so they went to live with a friend who...
