YAY my thai gamefowl hatched her baby chicks today. One died in the egg and the other hatched but was pushed in a far corner so most probably couldn't get any warmth and died.. it was still wet :( Will post up pictures tomorrow, they are sooo adorable. Its currently winter in Australia and the...

Hello I'm not sure if this should go in the emergency/disease thread so I decided to post here, hope you don't mind.. This is Sandy, shes about 6 weeks old (oops, not quite a baby anymore sorry). We removed the chicks from mumma hen 2 days ago because she got sick of them. I was already...

another update: Hello! Great news is that he is walking again since 3 days ago however is a quite wobbly and uses his wings for support at times. The infection seems to have disappeared, now there is just a lump (I assume a scab) above the knee that I am hoping falls off soon.. it may be the...

good news ! he isn't shaking his head anymore but still no chirps. still eating and drinking. My dad is adamant on culling him but I will hold off for now... I took off the vetwrap and the knee area was dry, I combined sea salt and water to make a quick saline solution and wiped the...

thanks for replying, it makes me feel so much better and yup, he wasn't bleeding when we found him. Today he is starting to walk again albeit only on his healthy leg. He is even trying to jump out of the box! He can't walk on his raw leg at all and his toes are curled up. I also noticed he is...

Hi ! ok so two days ago our broody hatched 8 chicks. We have a medium sized enclosed coop outside where we put our hens and their chicks (before this our cousins let us borrow their broody & her chicks then when the chicks are old enough we keep the chicks and return the hen because we live...

Hello! I love reading through all these, just had my first broody hen experience ever :) As a newbie, I'm not too sure on my hen or roos breed even after looking online.. when I think I've got it, another breed throws me off. We got them from my cousin as day old chicks whom is also clueless...

Hi, I don't think you should be worried if s/he is active, most probably its just slow development judging from my experience. A year ago we had a chick like that, she was half the size of her siblings yet very active. Of course I was really worried (at the same time I thought it was so cute...
