She kind of just puts her head up and then falls Update she is drinking! I have a feeling she was just dehydrated maybe. Her eyes are open more often now.

She has splayed legs though so I am trying to correct it hence the bandaid around her legs. I got 2 showgirl hatching eggs from ebay and only one hatched but I should have some Polish babies to accompany her in the next few days!

She is in The bandaids have actually worked! I kept them on for 24 hours and took them off for her to walk and she did great. I’m gonna continue with the method. What I’m concerned about is she won’t eat, she only drinks when i bring her to the water and she lays down most of the time. I’m...

Where did you get these gorgeous babies? I have one showgirl that hatched yesterday and she is already my baby! I love them!

It’s hard for her to get around with the splayed leg. I used a bandaid and wrapped it around her legs to bring them closer but she keeps falling on her back. I got her to drink a little water last night. Her eyes only open when I pick her up, other than that she lays down, attempts to walk and...

I hatched a baby chick today and it is my second time hatching! So the one that hatched today, I assisted in the hatch because she piped and I could not get out after 24 hours. So she finally fluffed up and she is the brooder box. She is making a ton of noise but barely opening up her eyes. What...

Ok. I have hatched before and settling for 24 hours seems to work for me so I’ll do that and hopefully the other eggs arrive shortly after. Thanks for the help everyone!

So I purchased some eggs from eBay. I first bought 10 eggs from one seller and decided to get 2 more from another seller to fill my incubator. The 2 showgirl eggs I bought are arriving tomorrow, and the others haven't even shipped yet! Should I leave the showgirl eggs to settle and wait for the...

Ok, thank you! They do free range all day so I will look around.

Ok, thank you so much! Good luck with your chickens! I hope your other girls begin to lay!

Here are some pictures of my girls (sorry the duck pictures are so bad they are very shy lol)

Hi! I am a high school student from Connecticut and I have been keeping chickens for almost 5 years with my family. The girls are mostly my priority, but my dad has become as obsessive as I am. We started off with four chickens in March of 2014. 2 still remain - a rhode island red (Rosie) and a...

I got a lot of new chickens this year and 2 ducks! In May, I got 4 cuckoo marans, 2 black jersey giants and a silkie. In June I got a white pekin duck and a blue swedish duck and in August I hatched out some frizzle/sizzle easter egger chicks. I thought the chicks I got in May and my ducks would...

I love the name Willow and it is helping a lot right now because I can’t tell if my silkie is a pullet or cockerel at 9 weeks old, so I call her/him Willie!

Thank you! I’ll be watching them to find out who the attacker is.

I do, but he is only 12 weeks old and was just added into the coop 2 week ago.

I am Abby, I am a high school student and me and my father LOVE chickens. Our family has had chickens for 4 years. We have 15 chickens and 2 ducklings right now. We started with 4 pullets- a black sex link, 2 rhode island reds, and a white leghorn. The next year we go three more- a buff brahma...

In March, my 1 year old Columbian Rock Cross hen, Chalky, lost tons of feathers while we were away. We though she was just molting very badly, but after 2 months, we realized that was not the case. We started to think she could have been attacked by something. Sometimes it appears as if she has...

Yesterday 5 new chicks came to my little chicken farm in Connecticut. 1 little chick arrived lethargic. We thought it was just a weak chick, and after an hour, it passed away. Today another one of our chicks is doing the same thing. Wherever we place her, she plops down and sleeps. She won’t...

Thank you so much! I won’t give up on it and i’ll check it in a week or 2.
