    Almost 6 week old chick with NEW broken toe?

    Help needed! I came in this morning to clean out our school chicks (5 and a half weeks old) and Hobbles has got a toe that’s bent sideways. Definitely only noticed today. She’s walking on the leg fine and it doesn’t seem to be bothering her but I’m worried that she’s maybe landed on it funny...

    4 Week old chicks ~ Can I find out the gender?

    Hi all, As title suggests… we have three chicks that are 4 weeks old and I’m wondering if there is a way to figure out gender based on how they’re maturing/observing their looks? (Short backstory) They’re from a school hatch and I kept them as one was injured and needed hand-rearing but I...

    Is this chick behaving normally?

    I’ve attached a video of our chicks. Hobbles is the smaller yellow one. Treated last weekend for splayed leg, curled toe, slipped tendon. A miracle that she/he’s walking. Up and eating/drinking regularly (from what I can see). Poops are a little on the light brown/softer side… when compared to...

    Baby chick sitting down a LOT

    Hobbles is now a week and two days. He’s a fair bit behind the other two chicks in size but has definitely plumped up over the last three days since he started walking and accessing food and water independently. Our worry is today we noticed he’s sitting down a lot. Or at least what feels like...

    Chick doesn’t sit down?

    I’ve posted a fair bit over the weekend about our hatch project chick who couldn’t walk. We *think* we’ve fixed the slipped tendon and as if by a miracle, Hobbles started standing this morning and is now walking! A little wobbly as to be expected after 5 days of being unable to stand or move...

    HE’S STANDING!!

    I’ve posted over the weekend about a 5 day old chick who we thought had splayed legs but turns out he had a slipped tendon. He hasn’t been able to walk since he was a day old. We’ve splinted him and kept him upright for 48 hours. We left him out in a box with heater and food and cuddly teddies...

    How to clean baby chick face?

    I’ve got a five day old chick I’m hand reading to try and save from a slipped tendon. Because he’s been unable to walk he wasn’t feeding or drinking on his own. He’s now starting to peck at chick crumb independently which is great. My problem is that for the last two days I’ve been offering...

    I’m desperate please help.

    I have zero experience chicken rearing but my school did a school hatch this week. All 8 seemed ok but then 1 we came into work yesterday morning to see wasn’t standing and couldn’t walk. My basic knowledge from being in a chicken group on Facebook suggested it looked like splayed leg, although...
