    Possible broken chick toe

    I have a chick that’s about 8 days old and she’s now not putting weight on her leg, I think it’s her middle toe as I saw her limp and it bent underneath her foot.

    Broody battle

    So I have a few young-ish hens of about 1 year. One, Annabelle, became broody about 2 months ago. It quickly became apparent that she was likely not going to be a good brooder when she began knocking some eggs out of the nest. At first I thought fine--she's getting rid of bad or unfertilized...

    5 days old and struggling

    I separated her out immediately, she really started declining rapidly yesterday, to the point I thought she was all but dead. She laid out in my hand with her legs straight out behind her. I thought she was dying. My dad had heard that geritol might help. That's seemed so heavy in iron it...

    5 days old and struggling

    I brought home 5 new chicks of varying ages, from 3 weeks to 5 days. All came from the same flock owned by a friend. One of my littlest, only two days old when I brought her home, is not nearly as active as she has been every day until now. She seems exhausted, can't hardly keep her head up...

They are fed layer ration with oyster shell mixed in, their favorite treat is shredded cheese, and I've recently added a protein and vitamin supplement pellet which was supposed to...
