I have a young chick, about 4-5 weeks old, separated from the rest because she has an impacted crop. She had a hay bedding that I think she may have eaten that caused the impacted crop. Now she is on just sand and she is eating it, a lot of it. Is this good for her or will it cause more...

I have a chick, probably about 4-5 weeks old that has had an impacted crop for a couple days now. I have not given her any food for a full day, but she has plenty of fresh water. I hate to starve the poor thing and I don't know what else to do for her. Any suggestions? I know It is bothering her...

I had a two month old pullet die. I noticed Sunday evening she wasn't feeling well, wasn't eating, and her abdomen was swollen with fluid build up. She was lethargic and didn't move around much. She did drink plenty of water. In fact she would lay right beside the water bucket and drink but...

I have a young pullet, about 2 months old that is not doing well. I noticed yesterday evening that she was quite lethargic and didn't move around much. She mostly layed in one spot, but she does move at some point because I find her in different areas of the coop. This morning when I went to...

Has anyone ordered Black Copper Marans from a hatchery or feed store? I was thinking of ordering a few, but I'm curious how dark their eggs are. If anybody has any pictures of eggs I'd love to see them. I know I should buy from a breeder, but there are a few reasons I don't want to do that...

Does anybody have experience telling the sex of a Welsummer chick at a few days to a week old? Is it even possible? My local feed/farm store got some in, but they are straight run, and I don't want any roosters, especially for the price they want for the chicks. Also, are there any other chicks...

I'm just curious how accurate the sexing of chicks is. I have 42 chicks that are all suppose to be pullets. I don't want any roosters! I bought them from a local feed/farm store. I don't know where they order the chicks from. Does anybody know what the odds are of accidentally getting a rooster...

I just got a bunch of chicks a few weeks ago. When they start laying I'm going to have a ton of eggs to try to sell! I've been trying to come up with ideas to help sell the eggs, and I thought about putting a different egg recipe on the inside of each carton. So, does anybody have any easy and...

Hi everybody. I've been looking through some of the forums for the past few weeks, but just decided to join today. I recently bought some little chicks, and they are growing so fast!!! I originally thought I would buy 10 or 15...but ended up with 42! How did that happen!?!? Here is what I...
