    Hen making a strange noise and sneezing

    Our 5 year old Naked Neck hen just started making these noises and also sneezed a couple of times. I palpitated her crop and there was food in there. I had just tossed out some mealworms which is a normal snack. but otherwise she's been eating the same feed as usual. I'm attaching a video

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    Thank you and I will. Momma hen is being beautiful and sweet. She's been broody for far too long. I couldn't break her so I finally got her some fertilized eggs, then she kept leaving those to sit on unfertilized eggs 🙄 I got smart, did some research, got more eggs and put her in a large dog...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    Something or ALL things are working! She's been moving around, pecking at things and in general acting like a chick!! I took them all to the school yesterday and I brought her as well, just to see how'd she do since she'd been doing better at home. I spent 5 hours sitting in the run and she was...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    When I take the others to school, I'm leaving daffodil and I'm debating keeping one other chick as well. One of my school hens is sitting on fertilized eggs that are due to hatch this weekend (she wouldn't stop brooding so I gave in). The babies will be going back to the farm where I got the...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    I agree. I'm feeling very discouraged. They do still have a heat lamp at night only. During the day it's in the 90's. Ive only left it because of her. At night they all move to the unheated side of the brooder (she ends up with them eventually) so I know the rest don't need it. I will keep her...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    The chicks have grit, they are currently on the corid and will be dewormed today. Daffodil hasn't improved or changed at all. I've been spending extra time with her. She doesn't peep when I'm holding her, unlike when she's in the brooder and peeping all the time. She is so small so I weighed...

    Frizzle...Easter Egger? Hen or rooster?

    Thank you! I agree! I hatched these chicks online for my class this year (we usually do it in the classroom) and now the whole school is watching, lol. They all love Gracie so I hope she can stay! Maria Montessori (a cream brabanter) might be the winner in the looks department but my favorite is...

    Frizzle...Easter Egger? Hen or rooster?

    I have a 6 week old chick that I hatched. The egg came in the mail and was labeled FF for "fun and funky". :) I thought Gracie looked like an Easter egger and then at 5 days old I found myself trying to "smooth" her feathers into place. Lol. She's definitely a frizzle. Im guessing mixed with an...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    Right! I already made an appointment for the deworming. :) I have the corid on hand and the grit will be delivered tomorrow. Thank you so much for your help!

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    It's "play sand". I get it from home depot, bagged in 50lb bags. Ive used it for years in brooders with no problem. I usually have a bit of hay mixed in to keep them busy. If I deworm her, should I do all of the chicks? Her vent looks fine. She did have pasting once when she was a week old but...

    5 week old chick is acting off/ failure to thrive??

    I have a 5 week old buff orpington that I hatched. She doesn't move around much. She stands a lot, rarely lays down. When she is standing, her eyes are half open. She rarely hangs out or interacts with the other chicks. She has also never perched. She's really small. Her egg was labeled as a...

    4 week old chick sneezing and runny nose

    She is doing great now! It probably wouldn't have helped if I had a reply sooner because at 2am that night, I ended up taking her to a Animal ER where they had an avian vet on call. She was gasping for air, seriously struggling to breathe and couldn't even keep her head up. She went from...

    4 week old chick sneezing and runny nose

    My 4 week old cream brabanter started sneezing a bit yesterday. Now she's sneezing a lot (sometimes as much as a few times a min) and seems to have clear nasal fluid coming out of her nostrils. I took her out of the brooder (the other chicks seem fine) and brought her inside. She's VERY...

    Mystery chicks and new to pea combs

    Every year I hatch chicks for my school. I get the eggs from a local feed store. This year, due to covid concerns, I had to order my eggs online. I ordered from the "Fun & Funky" collection plus they tossed in some random eggs (that were labeled with breed). I have 5 chicks. 1. Easter Egger...
