I have a 4 week old chick that is not eating and just sits or stands facing the wall of her tote. She was being picked on by her hatch mates as well.
I have her on a heating pad for warmth. Feed and a little sugar water to try to give some energy. It just won't hardly move.
Does anyone have...
I am broken hearted. My sweet, gentle Cockerel decided to chase me, nip at my leg and flog me. He has never done this. Why now? He's a light Brahma and about 9 months old.
We have the new coop and fenced in the chickens area. Still need to secure the flooring and put up roost bars and the nesting boxes. Almost done.. . For now.
I'm not sure wat killed my birds. Honestly I think it was the cold. One was an 8.5 month wynadotte named Ethyl and two were younger birds just recently put out into the introduction run. These are the first losses that I have suffered. I am sad.
I have a chick that is struggling. I see constant improvement so I'm not going to euthanize it. I do have a problem. I can't find my chick waterer that would be safest for this little one. Does anyone have any suggestions that don't involve going to the store. We are having bad storms at the...
I have a question. I've got a Black Sex-link cick that is 24 days old. It all ready has a visible comb growing. Would it be safe to assume it's a cockerel?

I've been checking my eggs regularly to see if they are being fertilized by my cockerel. I occasionally find a fertilized egg from. One of the wynadottes ot one of the brahmas. I have found that all of my BCMs eggs are fertilized. Is there a reason he isn't mating with all the pullets regularly...
I'm planning to incubate 12 of my BCM eggs. MY Cockerel is a Light Brahma. She has been laying for over a month now and most of her eggs are fertilized. How long should I wait before attempting to hatch her eggs?
I seem to remember my first round of chicks being less rowdy. The also didn't seem to start feathering out until they were about 3 to 4 weeks. I understand breeding can affect the rate thing happen, but jeezze. I have 10 female sex link chicks that were "hatched Feb 4. They are about 2 weeks...
I am curious if anyone can tell me what this Lil chick is. I hatched her and a hatch mate from small eggs. The woman that sold me the eggs said they are just barn yard mixes. She has hatched others like them. They are small and very friendly birds. The two I'm asking about are about the size of...
