I had a baby chick hatch yesterday and he was born with curled feet and splayed leg, to which I put vet wrap around him and taped his feet and upper legs. However, I noticed today the reason why it's hard for him to stand is because, the best way I can describe it, his legs are too forward...
For some reason, all the sudden my week old chick wont eat but will try to eat the other chicks food in their mouth and then cry because it can't. Is there anything I can do so it eats?
I had a poor hatch with only 2 chicks making it out of 12 eggs and I have been caring for them. But one of the chicks cry whenever I leave the room or If he doesn't see me. I know it's because of me since he makes this happy chirp once he's able to see me or hear my voice. Does anyone know what...
Does anyone know where to get some chocolate silkies? Even to breed one as well. I've been dying to get my hand on some but it seems like nobody sells them. I'm guessing theyre mixed with some other bird and are not full silkie.

My silkie hen just died today after what I assume was mating w/ my silkie rooster. When I woke up in the morning to open the chicken coop, she was just laying down in one spot not moving. In about an hour two I come back from school, and she sadly passed away. I'm devastated and confused to why...
Hi everyone! I've always loved and had chickens. Ever since I was about 5 years old, I had two RIR Hens. I've had Hampshire reds, New Orpingtons, and some Bantams that I'm not quite sure the breed was. Currently, I own 9 Hens and 1 Rooster. 3 polish, 1 Wheaten old English Bantam, 3 silkies, 2...
