    Sick Chick. Help!

    Yes the brooder is big enough to where they can go to the other side where it’s cooler if they want. She got them from rural king tho and just from what I’ve heard, they’re not treated the best.. I’m hoping that’s not the reason. We just don’t know what else the reasoning could be that 2 of...

    Sick Chick. Help!

    So my mom sent me this video today of one her 1 week old baby chicks. You can see it’s breathing heavily and sneezing. She has already lost one chick in her new flock. The other day I suggested turning down the heat because maybe they were over-heating. I also suggest probiotics in their...

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

    Aw love the names. I just checked it out. I have 1 Wyandotte chick right now as well, and she is teeny tiny. Still a baby but compared to the other breeds I had at that age, so small. It must be that breed then? Since you had mentioned how small yours was.

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

    Oops did the photos not load? Yes she is the same size, just less feathers. And once you see the photos, you’ll see some feathers are very light? Sort of strange.

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

I’ve just told myself not to worry at this point since she is doing well, despite the missing of feathers. I thought at first...

    Review by 'Amanda Beaker' in article 'Coop Odyssey'

    Well done! Ours is still in the process of coming up, and the set up/look is quite similar to this. How is your ventilation for inside the coop? I have some ideas to keep mine well ventilated but am still working out some details.

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

    Good deal, thank you for the reassurance :) I did give them each some cooked eggs today as a treat which they LOVED, so hopefully the protein will help the growth 👍

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

    Well they are all the same age, I guess technically they are just under 5 weeks old.. so maybe it’s still early. Just comparing her to the others.. they are all quite feathered. In the second photo you can see faintly in the background, her sister whose very feathered. Maybe she is just a late...

    5 week old Barred Rock no feathers??

    I have a flock of 7, 5wk old chicks, all born same day and brought home together. 4 Orpingtons, 3 Barred Rock. All are pretty much fully feathered now, with the exception of one. This poor thing has hardly any feathers. Such a sweet little gal/guy but is clearly behind the rest. It’s getting...
