So I’m planning to change out the sand in my coop. I have 2 hens (1 bantam and 1 australorp) + 1 Rhode Island Red rooster. They spend most of their day inside the coop while I’m not at home, but I let them out for atleast 2-3 hours during the day. I want to change out the sand inside because it...

They weren’t huddling because they were feeling cold I’d say. The mama hen is just behind the netting so I think instinctively the chicks would be running up and down trying to get to her, making them look huddled up. But I put the mama back in after an hour and now they seem to be okay. I am...

Okay thanks, the weather is about 31c (88f) and at night it drops to about 25c (77f). Is a heat lamp necessary? My neighbour doesn’t use one for his chicks and they are 3 weeks old.

Hello all, One of my Serama hens hatched 8 chicks which are now two weeks old. The chicks are doing well and they seem to be healthy. However, recently I’ve been noticing a trend that my chicks are always in the corner of the brooding area. My brooding area is connected to my main coop where...

Thanks so much for the help guys! Quick update, just checked and Glad to see 7 our of 8 eggs hatched! All of them are healthy and happy. Hoping the last egg hatches as well!

Thank you so much for the help. I did order chick crumbs online but sadly they haven’t arrived yet. The expected arrival is tomorrow but just in case it doesn’t arrive, is there any alternative I can give them?

Hi guys, One of my bantams is on it’s 19th day. I have it in a small cage inside my main coop so it still has company but the other chickens / my rooster can’t get to it. I don’t have water or food inside as I’m afraid it will spill. I let the hen out for as Long as it wants, and when it gets...

In Singapore, finding chickens for pets is an almost impossible task. There is barely a market for them and even if you find someone who is willing to sell, they range close to a hundred bucks per cluck. Fortunately, I found a lovely farmer who sold me a bantam rooster and chicken. Now I have 2...

I’ve already offered to buy them, but their willingness to sell will depend on the number of chicks that hatch. So fingers crossed!

They have a broody hen that is sitting on eggs at the moment. Hopefully the eggs hatch and i’ll ask them if I can adopt one or two

Okay will do, thanks for the help!

I look forward to meeting all of them!

Greetings fellow human beings. My name is Harry and I’m a product of New Plymouth, New Zealand . I moved to Singapore earlier this year from New Zealand, which meant I had to give away my beloved chickens. I owned 5 Plymouth Rock chickens and later added a Sussex rooster (not really sure of...

Just one more thing, is there anything to look out for since the chick is alone? Like signs of depression what not?

The other one is doing very well. I bought worms and some vitamin pellets to feed her. I crush the vitamin pellets and let the worms move through them so they get coated with the powder, and the little guy seems to enjoy them very much. I’m currently looking for someone who breeds chickens here...

Thanks for the @Wyorp Rock, sadly the little fellow didn’t make it through the night

Update: chicks health has deteriorated. It isn’t drinking or eating anything. Just tried to feed it egg white and tried to give it water in a spoon, basically held it right infront of it, still nothing. Very very unstable, keeps falling over and needs to lean on a wall to stand. It’s breathing...

Thank you for your reply’s @Wyorp Rock and @coach723 I’m living in Singapore currently, so the weather is a comfortable 30-33 degrees celcius and is pretty humid. Yes the only food they have been getting is where boiled rice. Didn’t realise this would be a problem, but I will give them better...

The chicks are about 2 months old and still very small and light. I have 2 of them but they seem to have the same weight or it’s too small of a difference to tell. It’s very lethargic, just sits around and doesn’t want to move. It had a bent leg when it was born so we had to put one of those...
