    Lone chick

    My three broody hens sat on 31 EGGS total, and only one hatched :P Is it okay for the baby to be a single chick? The mother is caring for it just fine. Anything i should worry about?

    Mucousy/watery poop, lethargic, and squishy crop

    Since i cannot find any pictures to confirm that this is worms, i would go with coccidiosis, and start treatment with Corid right away.

    Neck/Eye problem... Please HELP!

    I believe that most wry-necked chickens are born with it, although they mostly develop it slowly after hatching. Not all vets will take chickens in; you really have to call ahead of time to make sure. Oh, and yes, i agree, it does seem like she wouldn't survive very long with a broken neck, but...

    Saddle injury

    It looks like a predator attack, maybe a small dog or coon, ect. But i could be wrong. The blood does look like the hens are picking on her like you said. Good luck!

    Mucousy/watery poop, lethargic, and squishy crop

    The last two pictures nearly confirm that this is a worm infection. I would search for cures/aids for de-worming. Good luck!

    Hen w/bent wing, please take a look

    Yes, my chicken has one. It's no big deal :) She has lived a long life with many years ahead. As long as it doesn't hinder her eating/drinking, she'll be fine. No worries ;)

    congestion

    Sounds like a respiratory disease. You should try to find some vitamin cures or talk to your vet about an anti-biotic.

    5 day old chicks sick Help

    Yes, it sounds like heat exertion. Defiantly keep it at a lower temp. Below is the suggested temperatures for age: 0-7 days (95 degrees) 7-14 days (90 degrees) 14-21 days (85 degrees) 21-28 days (80 degrees) 28- so on (75-77 degrees) Good luck!

    Saddle injury

    Perhaps a predator has been trying to pull her through the fence. Happens all the time where i am :/ i would keep an eye on her and just let her be her. I use "wound-kote" to cover injuries, and it works like a charm (although it does stain the skin/feathers purple for a week or so). Separate...

    Silkie attacked by rooster!!

    Sounds like a neck/head injury. He should be back to normal in a few days/a week, and should be okay as long as he can eat/drink properly. Keep him under close watch and separate him if the aggressive rooster keeps getting at him. Hopefully he'll be okay. Good luck!

    Marans losing all her feathers

    I agree with Odelia. The normal molt pattern is late summer/early fall, but this can change due to the weather where you are. She should begin growing her feathers back soon. Is there a predator that could be trying to get your chickens? If not, i would look into diseases that cause...

    Sneezing silkie

    Okay, the lemon juice should help. If this is a respiratory disease however, the RSL might catch it too. I would watch the RSL for symptoms as well. It will be your tell-tell sign as to wether this is a resp. disease. If it doesn't spread, then it might be tick/flea/louse related.

    HELP! !Something is wrong with my chick!!!

    If you want, you can keep her separated until she can properly walk. But be sure that she stays warm enough! The temp for the first week of life should be 95 degrees (NO MORE), and then bumped down 5 degrees per week. Example: 0-7 days (95 degrees), 7-14 days (90 degrees), 14-21 days (85...

    Neck/Eye problem... Please HELP!

    Is her neck perhaps broken? There is also some ailment called crooked-neck syndrome (or something of the like) that can cause this. I am not sure of any other ways that she can be helped. Perhaps a vet visit?

    Cross beak. Help!

    I am not sure :/ Perhaps calling a veterinarian's office may answer your questions. I imagine that just walking into the place will cost you a good amount of money, unfortunately.

    HELP! !Something is wrong with my chick!!!

    hannah1999, you are doing a great job :) Continue to help her drink if you can. She may be clumsy for a while, but this should go away as she gets older. Feed her the chick food if she can eat it; if not, make a mash out of chick food and water (a pasty mash). It seems like this is all a...
