I ordered them from Ideal Hatchery, It took them about three days to get here (I was scared because it took so long they would all be dead but they were doing fine when they arrived) It may be a ventilation problem? We got a fan a turned on so it would occasionally suck air out to increase the...

My baby Cornish cross chicks are sneezing, they are maybe a week and a half to two weeks old. They are eating and drinking and I don't notice any other symptoms?I have put antibiotics in their water for the past couple of days and it seems like its only getting worse! I also have already lost...

Okay, I'll do that! Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you so much! Should I restrict his food even as a small chick? They are only about a week old right now, will restricting the food at a young age hurt him? And if so, at what age should I start cutting it back?

I got a batch of 25 cornish cross chicks to show at a broiler show. However, I have gotten extremely attached to a runt I have named Freddy ( I know I shouldn't have named him...) I know that cornish crosses don't tend to have long life spans because they have heart attacks and body weight...

I assume so, they all look the exact same except for Freddy. The school ordered them for us, but they are broilers that are supposed to get to butcher size by 6 weeks. The only breed that I know of that grows that fast is the cornish cross. I may be wrong though!

Okay, I just figured out the problem. I picked up their water bucket and it is completely empty! I refilled it just 3 hours ago and it must have leaked completely out into the wood shavings. I just pulled out all of the shavings and cleaned it all out completely. Lets see how they look tomorrow...

Okay, I just put in new bedding on top of the old stuff, its kinda late so I will completely re-clean everything out tomorrow. And I'm keeping them in a small swimming pool right now, with the sides built up with cardboard. All of the people in charge of telling us how to care for them say...

I just got in a batch of 25 Cornish crosses for a broiler show I am doing for my agriculture class. I have only had them for a week, and they are all growing noticeably bigger, except one. One is about 1/3 the size of the others and still has no feathers growing in on the wings when all the...

I am brand new to chickens. I just got in an order of 25 Cornish crosses for a broiler show we are doing in my agriculture class. They're eating and drinking well, however they are starting to lose their fluff on their wings and chests? They also look kinda wet? They are only about a week old...
