One of my chicks hatched out with her yolk sack still attached. It was probably about the size of a nickel? Well, she ruptured it. I had no choice but to cut it off and put her back (It was just weighing her down and getting her all goopy), a little while later her intestines started coming out...
I had a little fella hatch today, and it's yolk sack hadn't absorbed fully. I freaked out when I saw her. I picked her up and put her in a container where she wouldn't drag it around and puncture it to see if it'd absorb. Well.. She popped it. So I clamped it off and cut it off. Her navel seemed...
We'll be getting 4 ducklings here in the next few days, but I know nothing about them. Any advice on how to raise ducklings? We'll be getting chicks too.
Can someone name a few that would definitely be in a TSC store? Trying to make a chicken first aid kit here since we don't have any vets that are willing to take a look at chickens.
One of my chickens has been lethargic, hides away from the others, and her crop has been squishy. I don't know what's wrong with her. I can't smell that well but I don't think her breath smells bad. I don't know what her poop looks like, we have a lot of chickens. She's in a kennel in my room...
This is my 3rd set of eggs that I have incubated and the first batch was staggered.. Such a mess. >.< Lesson learned there. Second batch was 5 silkie eggs and they all hatched (this was a few months ago but they're oh so cute c: ).. This 3rd set is on day 18 but one has already pipped? Is that...
We have some Black sex links and I think some Red Isis, anyway we have 2 bantams and 6 silkies and the silkies and bantams are almost 4 weeks and the others are almost 7 weeks. Since the silkies and bantams are small I was worried about putting them outside with the other chickens because the...
My 4 week old chicken has wry neck and I don't know what to do.. He eats, drinks and poops just fine but I would like it if my chick could view the world at a normal angle. I don't want it to get any worse but I don't know how to fix it! Help please
I have a 3-4 week old chicken that keeps tilting his head? He won't keep it straight it he just keeps tilting it? How can I fix this? What is wrong with him?2
I am not quite sure what kind of chicken he is.
Is it necessary to give chicks medicated feed after they have been on Sulmet? I just don't want them to get sick again and have the food right here. Can it be fed to them? **I know it's only a preventive**
But they are Sulmet because they had Cocci? Please tell me it's something simple because these chicks are like my babies now!
They are Bantams, 1 1/2 week old and Silkies 1 1/2 week old. They are on the 3rd day of Sulmet.
They haven't seemed any different, Actually since they have been on the...
We could not find any Corid where we live and we found some Sulmet and gave it to our 2 sick chicks so we wouldn't lose them. We had 10 chicks that shared a cage for 2 days and we moved 4 of them out and lost 2 of them to cocci and we don't want to lose anymore so we gave it to our Bantams but...
When you lose a chick? For some reason even though I haven't had them long it still feels like a shot to the heart, I just can't help the crying either. I always end up crying for a bit.. How do you deal?
I have a chick that I think is infected with it. She sleeps a lot eats a little has watery poop. Doesn't move too much. What do I need to buy to make her better? Do I need stuff for water and food? Do I need to treat the chicks in the cage with her? Help me out here guys!
She is a bantam about...
She has pasty butt (I have cleaned her up though, and I might add I am new to this) and she is smaller than the other 2 that are with her in her cage. She will stand up and chirp but she just lays back down and goes to sleep immediately.. Is this normal? I don't want to lose another chick...
