We found our chick with skin missing on the back of her head maybe half an inch of her actual neck showing. We disinfected the area and she is acting normal. How can we get this to heal?

Hey all! Hoping everyone and their chickens are safe!! We lost 2 chicks recently so we are in the grieving process. but that's besides the point. Tonight we need some help with our original runt. She has always been small. Here we are at 20 weeks and she has no comb and no waddles!! what could...

We have a chick in a similar situation to yours. She is now six weeks old and is just now developing her tail feathers. All of our chicks are the same age and we have kept them together the whole time. We were afraid to let her outside with the rest but she has been great outside! As long as the...

We are in south jersey! It's getting warmer here at night so we put them out there tonight! In the winter we are thinking of adding some insulation in the eves of the roof! Thanks for the help!

Hers is what we have so far! The nesting boxes can be changed and we still have a while before they start laying! We are starting with the shavings because that is what we have right now, but open to trying straw too! Thanks!

We went with the pine shavings, for now, to see how it goes! And we also put the nesting boxes inside because it is very easy to walk into the coop and access them that way. Still a work in progress!

This is what we ended up with so far! First night in the coop tonight! Thanks for the advice!

Hi Everyone! Hope everyone is well! Tonight we put our six week old chicks in their coop for the first time. There are six of them all together in there. We feel confident it is predator-proof, but unsure of the weather and if they might get cold throughout the night. The lowest temp tonight is...

They both look like pullets to me! These are ours! The bigger one is definitely a little feisty and I have caught her running to the other chickens and jumping on them. She is a bit of a bully, but I think that might just be their personality especially since she's a larger one of the group. The...

The situation is the same here and we have two other breeds.

You could just take them to the backyard for an hour or so! Until we got a dust bath set up for the chicks we brought them outside on nice warm days and let them try it!

Okay we also got ours from a bin labeled asian black. We have to wait for the runt to grow some more to see how she turns out. Just odd they are labeled the same breed but one has grown so much more than the other.

Make sure to have space in the brooder where the heat is not directly hitting it so if they need to cool down they can.

Same here. Do you think the largest is the asian black or a black sex link?

Yeah our runt is fully black and our larger on has a white patch

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the response! Any suggestions for bedding on top of the concrete?

We have two asian blacks and this is what they are looking like. I don't think Black Velvet is a part of the breed. Maybe a kind of barred rock? Also one of the others has brown tips which we haven't seen on ours. Ours have grown in green/iridescent feathers which are what they are supposed to...

Okay awesome! Interesting ours have green/iridescent feathers growing in
