Thank you for your advice!

Thank you! I actually decided to put him back with mum, you’re right I certainly don’t want to cause the poor little thing more stress without mumma. I’ll just keep an eye and see how he goes.

Today it was only about 32 degrees Celsius so it wasn’t too bad! The last few days have been around 27-30 degrees. I live in Sydney.

I was watching him with his mum and the other chooks and he wasn’t keeping up with them! Almost got trampled on, that’s why I removed him and put him on his own.

The little chick has his wings drooping and is just panting non stop, it’s like he is struggling to breath properly

This is the little chick I can’t upload a video as it’s not working!

Hi there, My hen recently hatched some beautiful baby chicks, and today I noticed one of the chicks was panting and sometimes making these “sneezing” noises. The chick is 4-5 days old. I don’t know what’s wrong :( I’ve taken it away from the rest and put it on its own with a light and food and...

She’s pushing out about 4-6 eggs at a time! According to chickengeorgeto’s response, I suppose there’s not much else to do now but just let her do her thing!

I would say the temperature is quite warm, probably ranging from 25-35 degrees celcius. We are currently going through hot summer weather so I guess that’s good for the eggs!

Thanks for your reply! Yes she is sitting on a dozen eggs. Should I remove some eggs in that case? It’s only been a day thus far. I didn’t think her breed usually goes broody but she seems pretty intent on hatching some eggs so we’ll see how it goes! I don’t really want to keep pushing the eggs...

Hi there, I have a 3 year old Isa brown x white leghorn that’s decided she wants to become a mum and has thus gone broody, so we bought her a dozen fertilised eggs to sit on. She’s quite committed to sitting on the eggs, however, whenever I check on her I noticed that a few of the eggs aren’t...

@cochinmom I live in Australia :/ still looking for a nice new home for my nice little boys :(

:( ****! The two eggs that my silkie hatched just had to be both roosters! What luck! We aren't allowed to keep roosters here where I live :( kinda sad coz I got pretty attached to ️Lucky :( she....I mean he....has an interesting survival story hence the name. Saved his life as he nearly died as...

This is Lucky and Jr Pedro

Hi everyone :) My chook, Lucky, whom I thought was a hen, is starting to behave a little aggressively. When I come to pick 'her' up, she pecks my arm and pretty much squeezes it tightly for a few seconds before letting go. It hurts!!!! I always thought she was a girl but now that she's nearly...

Thanks for the info @casportpony ! Appreciate it :)

Hmm I did some research on Baycox, seems like a good treatment option. It is available online. Thanks for pointing that one out @artsyrobin

Thanks so much everyone for all your information and input, I appreciate it! As Lucky is still living with her mother (a Silkie hen who is still attached to her kids even at 9 weeks lol) I will have to disinfect the whole coop and treat all the chickens. I'm just worried about consuming Bonnie's...

@Free Spirit Thank you so much for your information. I live in Australia so I'm not sure if Corid is available here, Sulfa3 is the only available antibiotic to me at this point. I've followed the dosing schedule as per the bottle, although it doesn't specify age or weight it's a general dosing...
