I had 15 shipped, half were barred Rock. Got them today and one was pretty sick already. She has passed away. Now two more are looking rough. Clicking/grinding sound coming from chick. Appears to gasp for air and throw head a bit. I am terrified and trying to soothe her but nothing is working. I...
My Orpington chicks are now three weeks old as of Monday. They've got a huge new brooder thanks to the ideas on this forum and all the help I have received. I was definitely paranoid on their arrival and with my little black girl. They appear to be thriving and happy. Lots of happy sounds...
I am so sorry that I have not updated this thread. I had to log on to see any replies actually, guess i have to update my account settings.
The black orpington chick is back in general population and seems to be doing ok. I think I was being an over - protective chicken mama. Thank gosh I...
After wAtI've been watching him since noon Friday with no real reduction in crop size. He wants to eat, and I'm trying the egg and yogurt thing this am. He will definitely be kept warm! He did have an actual poop yesterday night and that was exciting since all he's been doing is peeing. I'll...
Oil with a dropper? I gave some yogurt and egg mash before I laid down. I'm sleeping in the room with them and him. Got him separate in the same brooder. I don't want to leave him with the other chicks and the hard food. I'm just winging it here. I hope he makes it. Thanks for the advice.
Struggling with a chick that seems to have a crop issue. 4 days old. Soaking her food. Taking food out so she can't eat for a few hours. I massage it every thirty minutes. I'm very nervous. Any help would be welcomed.
help please. I'm not sure if my boy has an impacted crop or sour crop. I massage it with no spit up and he's acting relatively normal. Eating medicated feed, nutradrench in water. Orpingtons.

So, the little black one had a major case of pasty butt this am. We got that all cleared up and he was still kind of lethargic. Then he has a big poop and a good romp for food. He is always the first to disappear under the ecoglow (heating element) and I'm still a little worried about him. (Not...
