He was fine yesterday. Then when i went out to coop there he was. Ive had a indecent with my last flock where a chicken got stuck and they pecked her head that sever. She survived but lost a eye. I just hope he makes it. Im wondering if he got stuck some place and thats when it happened. Thank...
Help i think my goose has been pecked very bad. I already seperated him and he is now inside. But what can i do to help ease his pain and discomfort?
He has been fine with all the chickens for 2 weeks. I dont understand it.
What can i put on it as well?
I don't know. We live out In the country but in a small town. I let my chickens free roam. I don't have fencing around my lots or home. But they never leave the lot. There are other homes around us but I'm not outside all day to see if anyone is harassing him. I have a male goose that is very...
Hi everyone. I've raised a lot of chickens and have had my share of aggressive roosters. But never have I had a rooster be friendly then suddenly turn on me. Nothing has changed and there's no new hens. I feed them as always and as I turned to walk away he got me pretty good on my legs. Then was...
Update
Baby chick is growing stronger by the min. She is standing and even eating now on her own.
Its such a amazing feeling knowing I could save such a fragile and little chick.
Thanks everyone
Hello
This is my first experiance incubating. Ive always raised chicks or let the mamma do the raising. But anyways, my hatch day was going on 5 days ago now. And with so many eggs unhatched I decided to let it go a couple more days out then 3 to be on safe side. We this morning I woke up to...
Hi everyone
So this was my first incubatation with my new incubator. And though im not happy with the outcome of hatching (10 out of 48) and 2 passed after hatch. So I am with 8.
And let me tell you.... It has not been a very easy 3 days since hatch day. Ive had 5 out of 8 with split leg...
Its seems my stubbornness paid off. With a lot of trial and errors I think I got it! Bandaid method works great. I took a bandaid and cut it in three strips. It works perfect. And the chick is doing great. Thanks everyone
Hi, I just recently hatched some baby bantam chicks and it seems they are getting sprawled legs but at the hip. Ive done everything suggested and it seems to make things worst. Its awful seeing them sufferer is there any suggestions that can help them stand besides the tape and Rubberband. Cause...
Ok another question. I've raised chickens for over 20 years but never have I had such problems with a hen. Hen is killing her chicks so every hour I'm checking for newly hatched chicks. She has 4 more eggs that are clearly going to hatch sometime today. What I'm affraid of is if I bother her to...
I appreciate your response. But don't you think your getting to technical? These are chickens and like everyone said. I just have a bad mamma. And I've gotta agree with keeperofmunckins. It is my responsibility to make sure these baby chicks are unharmed. As if it were a litter of puppies or...
Thank you everyone. So far I got one baby chick I think just in time. Momma pecked the side of her head pretty good. But I have chicken ointment I put on it. Gave her a couple of drops of water with probiotics from my finger. She seems to be coming around. I have her next to my bed with a heat...
Hi, this is my first time having a bad momma chicken. 3 chicks dead, one badly injured. I got 6 eggs I just checked on and they are all peeping! I don't have another Boody hen nor a incubator. I'm going out and checking on the eggs every hour. My question is..... As soon as the chick hatches can...
