Just an update, I did get the corid and have been giving it to all of them. My sick Wyandotte has made a full recovery and after babying her for a full day she is so loving towards me now.
I ended up separating my 9 original chicks from the lavenders though. Their behavior changed so much from...
My other Wyandotte who is her BFF just pooped and it was normal. So I guess I need to separate her but i need tips on how to help her. Probiotics? Can I mix some therbiotic in her water? I think that’s all I have on hand right now. I have acv & many natural things.
I currently have 2 silver laced Wyandottes, 2 weeks old. I got them with a few different breeds on the same day. I downsized my chicks by about half and added in some lavender Orpingtons which were actually born in the same day. I put them together tonight for the first time, and checked on them...
that’s another reason why I think my gut is telling me I should downsize now. Because I get emotionally attached and see myself in the future taking care of and feeding 20 aged out chickens over culling them.
I plan on adding a few each year as well.

Thank you! I actually was wondering about that... if they should just move all together into a larger brooder or grow out coop instead of splitting them up. I have all girls and one black australorp rooster. So that would be too many for him then? I had a feeling that might be the case the...
I was thinking of doing this. You are right about the weird folks, I couldn’t just sell them to anyone. I bet there are some chicken mamas around my neck of the woods who would really enjoy a few of these babes. 💜
They are definitely manageable, but are they happy in a flock this big? And they...
I have 20 baby chicks. I have two brooders that we built which are about 5ft x 3ft. They currently are all in one of the brooders we built. Im on 15 fenced acres and currently in the process of having a slab put down so my boyfriend can start building the coop. The coop I have drawn out is 14ft...
My chicks are 1 week old today as well! I started noticing over the past few days that I also have a Wyandotte that is about half the size of her sisters. She had pasty butt and I’ve resolved that issue. I will try giving her eggs and be keeping a close eye on her. I’ve never had a chick just...
Hello, I’m new here! Kind of! I had chickens for a few years until about 4 years ago, then many life changes occurred. Now that I have my own home in the country and land, I wasted no time in ordering baby chicks. 😂
They all arrived in good shape, however the hatchery I used did have order...
