They do have chick grit, and yes she’s been eating grass and bugs as well. She is still eating and drinking, but her crop is much more full than the other chicks. Earlier, I massaged her crop until it was pretty much empty. There was no impaction or anything. I also gave her some nystatin. She’s...
My chick, April, has a squishy and full crop. She’s also been making the neck movement that they do to adjust their crop. I was concerned about her crop yesterday, so I got up early this morning to check and it’s still full and squishy. I’ve smelled her breath and I can’t smell anything sour...
I have 8 6-week-old Ameraucanas who are supposed to be (and hopefully) girls. I asked on another thread if the first two looked like boys, and everyone who responded said that they did. Now I’m concerned that even more of them could be boys. I won’t be able to keep any roosters because they...
Ameraucanas supposedly have an 80% sexing success rate, so she’s probably a girl. I just want to be sure. Her comb is a bit more red than the others, and her feet and legs seem bigger.
