    3 day old baby chick, neurological problems now won't eat unless I feed it.

    My Russian Orloff is the only one that hatched out of the bunch. She had some problems and had to be syringe fed. Pedialyte, poly vi sol and crumbles. Then we moved to wet mush stuck on a lid vertically in front of her face and now she is finally able to eat with it laying down. But she will...

    2 day old chick won't eat, very weak

    I had one chick hatch from shipped eggs with very damaged air cells. We are all very much in love with this clingy sweet super tiny chick. But...she won't eat. She won't drink. She wants to be cuddled and sleep. She got pasty butt last night and her vent is a little red. I think its from...

    My hands are getting itchy...can't sit on them much longer.

    So...I have only 3 eggs survive to lock down. All had pretty bad air cells. The 3 that survived had severe saddle shaped air cells that extend down over half the egg. I actually ended up increasing humidity because it was growing so fast. I can't even imagine how the chicks survived this...

    Chickens won't go in the coop and its 6 degrees!

    Last night I got home and went to lock the chickens up and my one hen who sleeps by herself in the pool shed was in the coop and the rest were outside.

    I caught a hawk in the midst of slaughtering my only chicken left from my original hatch. She is a mean tyrant to all chickens but I love her immensely. Her throat is torn open and I can see everything. She is rasping really bad and can't stand. The humane thing is to cull her but I can't...

    So much chicken drama with me lately. Roo attacked by possum. Large puncture.

    A possum got in my coop tonight. I didn't even know it was still there. My 3 chickens were scattered across the yard but I saw no sign of anything. I called my Boxer, which btw is the best chicken protective breed ever. And she ran into the coop which is small and can barely fit my 3...

    OMG! My broody serama serama/brahma chicks! What now?

    Ok, so my serama decided to go broody and hid her eggs under our deck. The only roo is a brahma so I didn't think they'd hatch. After the first several days and I thought she was missing she'd come out to eat. She would come out every morning and I'd give her high protein warm food and...

    EDITED PIC! TWICE FERTILIZED EGG My eggs are on Day 10 and right on schedule, but 2 look like Day 1

    The eggs are light olive eggs and hard to see. But I can faintly make out veining and movement and empty space. They are right on target, but two of them barely have any space left, looks just like the Day 16-17 pics in progression of candling sticky. I thought maybe they were rotten but I'm...
