    WetPox?

    Hey ya'll! Was wondering what folks thought of this growth on my 8 week old baby chick. There are four chicks total and all have 'wart-like' growths on their beaks, now one has a spot on it's foot.

    Baby Chicks w/ Beak Growth.....PICS!!!!

    Ok, there's another thread on here, but the lady who posted had no pics, so it's not getting much attention. My chicks have the same thing she's describing so I've got several pics. Not really sure what momma is, but the daddy is a white silkie (who thinks he's quite the stud, btw). Somebody...

    Does anybody elses chikns do this?

    I live in central Louisiana and the temps have been dreadfull so far this year. Well, my hen and roo don't want to spend the night in the coops. Plus, now my smaller chicks that I'm mingling with them, are not wanting to stay in the coops at night either. I'm guessing since it's so hot. The...

    weirdest behavior

    I've recently noticed the strangest behavior from several of my 5 week old silkie chicks. It almost looks like they're having a seizure. They hunker down, shake their head back-n-forth and it looks like their eyes glaze over. After a few seconds of doing that, they snap out of it and run around...

    I don't understand my Roosters behavior.....

    Ok, so my rooster pecks me when I come into the backyard (him and my hen are 'free-ranging'), then lets me pick him up and love on him (he's roughly 12-14 wks old). He's a Cochin Bannie and is quite lovable but I need to break this 'pattern' or 'habit' that's he's starting to get into. Any ideas...
