I've got the coop ready to go, and my chicks have all their feathers in, but it's still kinda chilly outside and i have one baby chick that needs the heat lamp. Should I just keep them in until it's warm? Or can they stand a bit of cold? They're starting to fly up put of their box thing and walk...
So much advice! Well, I have picking up my coop from a friend of mine whose mom builds them. I'll still be building my own, this one will just be temporary. I was getting medicine for my sick chick today, and saw that they had Silkies. I couldn't resist! I wound up getting a baby Silkie and a...
Her poo is just like runny brown, no real clumps. The others kinda poo the same every now and then, but theirs is mostly solid. My fiancee's boss told me to separate her from the rest. And I'm scared to treat her with something and it turn out to not be needed, you know? I just wanna make sure...
Yes, she eats and drinks. I think her poop is just liquidy. She kind of feels boney, but I try not to touch her too much cause I'm afraid I might hurt her. And yes, I'm in the US.

I do not lol but that little chick that is messed up looks like a vulture when she's walking around lol she's all hunched and scraggly like one. That'd be cool of she was one, though!
I will try vitamins, thanks! But, I am just wondering, why does that one have vitamin deficiency while the others don't? And if it's an injury, how would I help the chick??
I am new to raraising chicks. I got this Araucana, or so I was told that's what she is, and she's growing oddly. She keeps her head down and cocked to the side, her feathers are puffed and scraggly, and her left wing hangs down a bit. Does anyone know what could be wrong?? Here's some pictures...
I joined this site because i just got chickens for the first time. I don't know much about chickens at all. I have 5 chicks: 2 light brahmas, 2 araucanas, and one australorp. I like them, but they stink and I still have them in the house. I was told that I shouldn't put them outside until the...
