My chick is 6 weeks old- can anyone tell me what sex it is?
Also, I bought the egg as a Speckled Sussex (in the UK) but I have been told it may not be- does anyone have any thoughts on what breed it is?
Hi, does anyone know if it is safe to burn candles around chicks? I want to light a Yankee Candle to get rid of the smell from the brooder ( of course l’ll put it across the room from the chick) but is it safe for the chick to breathe in the air?
Our chick is 3 weeks and 3 days old. We bought the eggs from someone thinking it was a Speckled Sussex, but I have had a few people on here say that they don’t think it is- does anyone know what breed (or gender if possible) our chick might be?

Hello, I have a 10 day old Speckled Sussex chick and I was wondering if anyone can help me sex it. I know that it is possibly too early to tell, but does anyone have an idea?
Hi, I want to thank you for all your advice; me and my family are extremely grateful that you came across my post here and were able to give us so much hope. Unfortunately, our little darling passed away this morning as she was very weak when she woke up. I agree with you and I do think that if...
Thank you so much that’s so helpful. I also think that maybe she’s lethargic because of her splay leg- she’s not getting enough energy from food so walking could be tiring her and making her sleepy. We will try to get her to eat as much as possible tomorrow (she is asleep now because it’s...
Thank you. I have spoken to someone else on here who said it sounds like a nutrition issue rather than a digestive one because her crop is not impacted/sour. I also found the ingredients for the drops (attached)
We are only going to use the drops for 3-5 days (per the label) and then when the poultry nutri drench you use gets here (in around 2 weeks) we will try that. I agree it could be an incubation issue- I also think it could partly be because of her splay leg- it could be causing her stress so she...
Hi, her heat lamp is at 86 degrees. She only shakes when she is relieving herself and it’s big (not all the time).
She has been lethargic since she was born, but today I have noticed she is opening her eyes properly and wide, which makes me think she might be getting more energy.
The water in...
Hi, we hatched this chick along with 1 other chick as the other 5 sadly did not make it. The man who helped us hatch them has a farm and is experienced with chicks, but this is our first time raising any. She is pooping normally and has not had any issues with pasty butt. She is lethargic...
Hi everyone, I have a chick who is 10 days old and not eating. I have been giving her Nex Tex Poultry Nutri Drops (my Nutri Drench has not arrived yet) but she has not wanted to eat anything today. She does not open her beak to eat or peck, so we have been spoon feeding her her seed mix with...
