    Chicken Pecked, possible nerve damage?

    Any update on this chick? I have a baby with a very similar looking pecking injury. I hosted a wedding at my house and I believe it stressed my chicken and they attacked my little lady. I'm a nurse so I'm pretty good with human wounds... hoping that helps me with my chick! Just hoping to know...

    Cuckoo maran chicks acting odd

    Update in case anyone looks at this later. They are now over 6 months old. They are not cuckoo marans at all, they are all black. None of them can walk. I've tried everything I could find on here and they just seem to be slowly becoming paralyzed. I've decided to cull them after 6 months of...

    Leghorn pullet or cockerel?

    Got a group of backyard mixes, the man who had them says this one is at least part, if not full blooded white leg horn. He wasn't sure the exact age, but it was hatched out this spring/early summer. He had a barn of hundreds so there was really no way of knowing. After I got it home I noticed...

    Walking on knees

    hello everyone, I have a marans chick 12-14 weeks old who I just noticed today is walking on her knees. She and another chick from the same batch have never acted normal since the day I bought them home. I posted about them when they were 5-6 weeks old that they weren't very active and the...

    What marans is this?

    Thank you! I was also thinking black copper. Is it concerning that only one has feathered legs? They were straight run so I'm think that maybe the 2 getting copper feathers are roos?

    What marans is this?

    hello, I bought 3 chick's from the feed store that were sold as cuckoo marans. They are now around 6 weeks old (I've had them for 4 weeks but they were older chick's when I got them). They are clearly not cuckoo marans, but what are they? Only 1 has feathered legs and 2 are developing copper...

    Baby Chicks-Can you separate?

    I'm very new to this, but we have the same situation. I decided not to split them up and I've found that the smaller chicks are thriving and the larger ones haven't trampled them at all.

    What is she?!

    I bought several chicks from a local store and this lady is supposed to be a black Astrolorp, but her neck feathers are coming in with copper coloring on them. The bin was black astrolorps and ISA browns so now I have no clue what she is. I'm thinking black sex link? Anybody got any better...

    Hello lovely chicken people!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? My husband and I got chickens about 4 years ago on a whim. We bought a premade coop that said it held 6 chickens 🤦‍♀️, yea... it was only big enough for 1-2 chickens and the run wasn't even big enough for one chicken! So we got rid...

    Yes, band is still on the leg, but its lose and not restricting at all, that was what I checked first! I just moved the heat lamp higher because they were acting hot. It's only the 3 marans acting weird

    Cuckoo maran chicks acting odd

    The top picture is of one of the marans, they are my only straight runs so I'm not sure if it's a pullet or cockerel. That was it last night laying on its side, I really thought it was dying but then it jumped up when I reached in for it, then went back to acting like it had been. The bottom...

    Cuckoo maran chicks acting odd

    Hello! I'm brand new to chicks and after planning and researching the brooder, the coop and the breeds I got my chicks and it's mostly going well. That being said I have several breeds that are meshing well, but my cuckoo marans just don't act like the rest. After a week and a half they are...
