Hatched 12 eggs and still don’t know the sex of this one… 16 weeks. Maran X olive egger… thoughts? The Roos with the same mix are very easy to tell in the ones I hatched
No respiratory, just tired. I did notice one foot was starting to curl, chicken still alive but doubt by tomorrow. Don’t want to stop the Corid but also feel guilty not giving vitamins if that’s the case.
If the crop isn’t emptying, what do I do? hard to tell
Sick chicken, doesn’t have much energy to stand and can’t roost as it’s off balance. If I wake up and it’s dead I’ll get it tested as this will be #5 and all from the same fertilized eggs I bought from a local gal.
I’m in Alaska, we free range so they should get their own grit from outside right?
I will get a photo tonight, it is eating and drinking just unstable on feet
2tsp per gallon, been cleaning and filling up new water everyday. No added vitamins. Chicks have been eating laying pellets for over a month now as they eat both (before we were locking them up with chick starter at night but have since put them all together) they will be 15 weeks Sunday.

15 week old chicks I hatched this spring. I’ve lost 4 (almost 5) the past 2 weeks. Slowing down/dying the same way. Off balance, still eating & drinking, pale comb, laying down a lot, one even came into the garage and laid down by my feet. Treating for coccidiosis (day 3). The odd thing is it’s...
I’m back, looks like I’m losing another chicken. Slowing down/dying the same way. Off balance, still eating & drinking, pale comb, laying down a lot. Treating for coccidiosis (day 3). The odd thing is it’s only the chicks dying not the 8 (2 year old) hens, they all free range together. I am...
We ended up culling the chicken. The other chickens were attacking it so we knew something wasn’t right. It also stopped walking so would’ve likely died that day. We did what we could.
Question: should I treat for coccidiosis for all chickens? Off to lose 3 chickens in 1 week
Thank you for replying, I thought I could post a video but wouldn’t work. I’ll get some pics. I changed the food about 2 weeks ago. At first I was thinking they got the laying pellets so it was too much protein as they are still little but odd if I lose 3 chickens in 1 week. No mold on the food...
I’ve lost 2 chicks in a week with unknown causes. Woke up to a chick off balance and pale comb. Still eating and drinking but walks drunk. Just transitioned to grower feed, have one water with electrolytes, one apple cider and one plain water out. Not sure what to do. I have an existing flock of...
