    Bought 2 chicks from feal market and now I'm worried it wasn't a good idea! Please help!

    I have been to look at chickens before and another cause can be overcrowding and too little feed in the brooder. Under those conditions the chicks will pull out the feathers on the others backs. You can get a flashlight and look for little bugs crawling in the feathers and look really good...

    Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck on your hatch. I have read in some of the incubators when the turners are taken out that can cause the temps to drop too because of the motor for the turner.

    Emergency Help Please!

    I just wanted to say I too give the mommas the chick starter when they have little ones. It's safe for everyone and the medicated won't hurt the hens, you just are not supposed to eat the eggs if they are on medicated chick starter. A new mom isn't laying when she raises her chicks so there...

    Chicken's impacted/sour crop has burst - repair and recovery help needed!

    I don't think bread is a good idea. There is something in it that ferments and will compound sour crop problems. Stick to soft, easy to digest foods like scrambled egg, yogurt, baby food. I think there is some kind of baby parrot food that is really good to use. Stay away from carbs and...

    Chicken's impacted/sour crop has burst - repair and recovery help needed!

    I have read super glue is best to close the wound site. Search for how to surgically remove impacted crop and you will see the steps, although you obviously don't need all of them since your hen's crop burst. I think you do not feed them for 18 hours and then start on very small, easy to...
