Yes I have regular grit and chick grit (smaller size) in the run for them. I did try mineral oil and she is passing a lot of droppings which the vet said was a good sign.
Update took her to the vet the crop is abnormally enlarged so treating as a mild obstruction.
Also here is a close up of her comb she is 11 weeks still looking like a girl or boy?!
It has been rock hard full for at least two days now and one I put her in a dog crate with no food only water. I have not tried any oil yet but will try tomorrow. She’s still trying to eat and drink but seems very uncomfortable always gagging and choking I’m very worried she’s only a baby.
Hello, my Easter Egger chick is almost 11 weeks old and has been keeping his beak open wide and almost coughing/gagging with a large crop - can a baby chick get impaction? They don’t free range since they are so small so I’m not sure what in the coop would cause it?
Also still unsure if it’s a...
Hi all! I just got my first Easter egger chick who is 2.5 weeks old now. I know they are a hybrid but I’m already super suspicious it’s a roo 👀 anyone have any pointers for this “breed”? Thanks!
She ended up sleeping in the nest box but I had taken all the eggs including the demo eggs and by the next morning she was over it lol 🤷🏼♀️
I’m keeping my eye on her now though!
Hi all my 7 month old Steele egger from Meyer Hatchery (hybrid) I think has gone broody. She’s been sitting in the nesting box all day and yelling at me all puffed up when I open the box.
My question is what do I do? No rooster and no intention of adding to the flock at this time (small...
Hey all happy Sunday! I recently found out my splash ameracauna hen is actually a rooster, and unfortunately I’m not allowed to have any roosters in my neighborhood. Hand raised since day old chick very friendly with me, my one year old and the other hens. If interested please message me! 🐓 I’m...
Hi all I got my first set of chickens from Meyer Hatchery on June 24 this year. So far my green queen has turned out to be a rooster, and now I’m suspicious that my Steele rigger is also a rooster. They are 19 weeks today, and it’s definitely the skittish of the group and avoids me for the most...
Oh no now I’m really worried! I’ll post some closer pics when I get home, but now I’m curious why no one thinks it’s a green queen? Is it common for hatcheries to send the wrong breed? All my other breeds are accounted for so she has to be a green queen but I know they are a newer hybrid so...
Hello, I purchased a set of all female chicks from Meyer hatchery this summer. Today they are 14 weeks old exactly and my green queen was crowing at dawn repeatedly! It startled me and now I’m suspicious she’s actually a rooster 😢
I can’t find any online pictures of what a green queen rooster...
Hi I know this is an old thread but I have a 14 week old green queen chick from a hatchery that is suppose to be female but has started crowing. How did yours turn out? Thanks!
I checked her foot and leg I don’t see any cuts or sticking out at odd angles. I honestly can’t find anything other than she’s limping and her one wing is sagging but she can run if need be and hop and fly it’s very strange
My four week old green queen chick was limping yesterday and seems to have a fallen wing. She’s eating and drinking but very sedatary which is odd since she’s usually the alpha.
Does anyone know what’s wrong with her and how can I help??
