    Sick chick dilemna

    I purchased 3 fancy chicks that were 2 weeks old last Sun. All 3 have become very clumsy & prefer to lay around. I expected them to quickly take a turn for the worse & die however all 3 just keep hanging in there (it's been 3-4 days now). They seem alert & able to get around but sort of need...

    Marsh Turn X incubator - old model questions

    I've tried the basic styro-type incubators a few times with minimal success so I was excited when I saw this Turn X listed on Craigslist. As you can see from the pics, it's a very basic model. No fan, no humidity bottle, no auto-turner. I can't find much info on these older models and I'm...

    5 weeks still too early to identify a Roo?

    I've been blogging each week with photos of my 7 chicks as they grow so I can see the weekly differences. The chicks are now 5+ weeks old and I thought I had 5 hens & 2 roos however my absolute safest bet for a hen seems to be growing some spurs. They are still small but I'm wondering if hens...

    Long time chicken dreamer...First time chicken owner

    Just joined BYC this evening & I'm enjoying reading about all the other new chick additions out there. We have a few of our own as well and I'm so excited to finally own some chickens. In fact, my wife hasn't been so happy with me lately due to these crazy chicks. I've shirked some of my other...
