    Thank you for your speedy reply! He’s a big boy, so that makes sense.

    Identification help, please!

    This chick comes to us from a neighbor who decided they didn’t want to raise chickens after all. He/she was purchased from Tractor Supply. He/she is about eight weeks old and being raised with three of mine around the same age. I find the four of them huddled together, so I believe he/she has...

    5 day old chick droppings are suspect

    Here’s a few pics of their world at the moment. I remixed their water with just the CORID as directed (1 TSP per 1/2 Gallon). The food bag says “made 02/02/21”. Anything you see that causes you concern?

    5 day old chick droppings are suspect

    Wyorp Rock - I so appreciate the time you’ve taken to respond so thoroughly to my question. This is NOT the only poop I’ve seen - most of them look similar, none are solid. There is no blood however. I do have pine shavings on the other side of the cage, it’s just very big. I’ve been cleaning...

    5 day old chick droppings are suspect

    This does not look right to me? Any thoughts? We recently lost over two dozen chicks to Coccidiosis, so I’m panicked. This is a brand new brooding cage with disinfected waterers, feeders, etc., but the dropping don’t look right. We put a few drops of Corrid into their water right out of the...

    Are Coccidiosis & Enlarged Crop Related?

    Despite our best efforts, we have lost 18 out of 28 bantam chicks in the last week. I have been treating the whole 2-week old flock (and individual chicks) with Corrid as directed by a local Poultry DVM, but we can’t seem to get ahead of it. We’ve been moving chicks into newly disinfected...

    2 Week Old Silkie w/Growth on Top of Head?

    Honestly, I didn't even think of that! It definitely feels like one, I only discount it because of how young the chick is and because of its odd positioning. He seems great otherwise, so I'm going to go with that for now! Thanks for responding!

    2 Week Old Silkie w/Growth on Top of Head?

    Wondering if those of you who raise Silkies might help me identify what is on top of this chick’s head? At first I thought it was just a lopsided vaulted skull (if there is such a thing), but it’s becoming more pronounced as the days pass. It’s squishy to the touch and decidedly left of center...

    Bald Spot -

    Good to know. Thank you! We are no longer going to keep a rooster with this flock. Will she heal or do we just need to keep her sunscreened?

    Bald Spot -

    Hello! New here, but I’ve been reading the forums for better than a year soaking up the years and years of experience. So thank you! Today my question is about the bald spot on the back of one of my standard chickens. I know there can be several causes, so I’ll explain our current circumstances...
