    Chick 1 day old, not standing or walking.

    Update: We changed her drinker and now she is drinking, she is looking like she's going to be a very good looking bird. I on the other hand won't be as she hasn't let me sleep well, in a week.

    Chick 1 day old, not standing or walking.

    She's doing okay but she won't eat chick crumbs, I've been feeding her a corn and persimmon mush, and I still haven't seen her drinking for herself yet. But she's energetic sleeping well, and sociable.

    Lone Chick help please.

    In all honestly I have no idea what a crop or a craw is but I see her eating the persimmon and corn mush I made but she's ignoring chick crumb entirely, I think I have a little madam on my hands.

    Lone Chick help please.

    I tried the mirror trick again, the moment it looked behind the mirror to not find another bird it lost all interest. It is eating from a spoon sometimes but no pecking at the food when it's in a bird trough.

    Lone Chick help please.

    I tried that, no attention to the food, only to me, will take it from a medicine syringe pecking at the end but not from its bowl or the ground.

    She's still not eating yes so i've made a baby mush up for her I just thought i'd ask if it would be fine before I gave it to her, it's cooked persimmon with corn and yolk blended into a paste.

    Lone Chick help please.

    It's a bantam, believed to be a female, we hatch birds for egg laying and pets not meat, and it was to be a favour to my grandad, but he then told us who it was for and she has a history of strangling her birds, we hatched and raised to adulthood three birds for her prior and she has killed them...

    Chick 1 day old, not standing or walking.

    I hatched a single egg as the rest weren't fertile leaving me with a lone chick, it's been a full day now since he hatched but he still can't stand or walk, when he tried his legs end up over his head and move in a swimming motion, he also struggles to keep his head up, I worry cause I don't...

    Day 21 - Should I be worried?

    Thank you very much, but he is panicked when I leave now as he's alone, and chirps as loud as he can when he can't see me, and is taking no notice of his water. I've put in a stuffed toy but he ignores it.

    Lone Chick help please.

    I've put a mirror in, a cuddly toy and my mothers ipad with a video of chicks on it, and he cries and he cries out for me still. Guess you're right a friend it is, thoguh I worry about him being away from his brooder when he's very wobbly trying to look for me, that leads me on to, should I be...

    Day 21 - Should I be worried?

    A lone blonde chick [all other eggs were infertile] was born this morning at 9am, has fluffed up well, and is begging for attention. Am a bit unsure as to how i'm going to stop it being lonely at this moment as I do not keep hens myself I just hatch them and keep them till maturity when they...

    Day 21 - Should I be worried?

    I don't dare candle the egg at this stage, I worry that any drops in temperature could result in shrink wrapping the bird.

    I'm on day 21 of my incubation period, i've raised humidity since day 18, to between 65%-75%, the temperature has remained constant, but there has been no movement from the egg, no pips, and no sound, the egg was candled on it's last day before lock-down and the chick was very much moving...
