Hello, my father just recently ordered and received a shipment of about 20 4-6 day old dark brahma chicks. They all came in with pretty obvious angel wing but other than than nothing else seemed off. I've since been treating them with a chick water supplement but plan on switching them to a...
Hello guys, this is a couple week old chick (can't remember the exact age) that is just recently exhibiting these behaviors of head swinging and tucking. I wasn't home when this happened so I'm not sure when it started. The chick is pooping fine, showing interest in food and water and walking...
Hello, so I am back because I had ANOTHER predator get at my chickens about 3 days ago :he The only ones in the crossfire were my two young brahma hens. One is now missing, and this one sustained only an injury to the toe. She somehow managed to sever the skin and muscle around the toe ( I'm...
Hello, I've been noticing issues with my roughly 3 year old RIR hen. I'm not sure when it started exactly, but she has had a poopy but for about a week or two now I believe. I didn't think much of it since we've had some heat, but very recently she has developed other symptoms. She is panting...

So I know ik posting a bit frequently but I'm so worried! The chick I've talked about in previous posts is now gasping a little? And distress calling. It still can't stand, and now it's barely opening its eyes. It's only 2-3 days old. I wanted to try and give it some water but if it's gasping...
Hey guys, my hens went broody a while ago, and evidently one of the chicks had hatched unnoticed. My sister found it sprawled on its back and cold, mom was out doing something. We put it under a heat lamp and it kept trying to lift its head but failed. It also keeps flopping on its back and has...
