    Will my salty well water affect my chickens....

    We just moved to our home in June, beautiful 20 acres but the downfall is the well water. We had it tested, it is safe to drink it is just incredibly salty, we talked about drilling a new well but just the area as a whole is salty. We have horses that don't mind it. I just bought baby chicks...

    My flock is slowly and one by one dying - gasping for air

    I brought my 8 chicks home Saturday. Today is Friday and I am down to just 3 (well maybe two now) chicks. There is something going through them and killing them.

    My chick is gasping for air and stomach is making weird noises

    I have a chick that is suddenly gasping for air. I separated her and tried to give her some sugar water. She's very weak and can't stand or hold her wings. This just started a couple hours ago. What else do I do?! They have had 1 round of save-a-chick electrolytes and probiotics in the water...

    My baby chick all of a sudden has a wide stance and a swollen bottom

    Here is her backside whiteout being wet, it is very heavy and hard for her to keep her balance forward. Her wings are dropped because she is too weak to hold them up but when she panics does a good job at trying to flap them. You can see her mouth is open. Her mouth is constantly opening...

    My baby chick all of a sudden has a wide stance and a swollen bottom

    Very well could be, I guess maybe she just has a weakened immune system? All of the others seem fine. It's just her. I read up on mushy chick and thats mainly found in the first 48 hours after a chick hatches. I am just so confused. I don't feel it is that but she is separated from the crew just...
