    Any way to avoid poop flying in face when flipping upside down?

    So I know that when you flip the broilers it often triggers a bowl movement. I have to flip them upside down for show and I’ve been practicing, and I’m wondering if there is any possible way to prevent poop from flying in my face when i flip them? I even pull them to the side before putting them...

    Is it inhumane to keep wry neck chick alive

    Very late reply but they are broilers so they are not being bred… And I think there was a bit of an overreaction because the chicken did not have problems and its wry neck has gone away on its own with no vitamins or changes in anything…

    Is it inhumane to keep wry neck chick alive

    Today I noticed one of my 4-week-old broiler chicks had a wry neck. He didn’t seem to eat or drink until I checked a couple hours later after the discovery. I hand-fed and hand-drank him and he immediately seemed a little better. I watched him go to the feeders and feed. His neck will go limp...

    2-week old broiler chick laying on side with leg curled

    Also I gently kind of pulled its leg out to test it, you know? And it chirped so it definitely is the leg hurting, sprained or something

    2-week old broiler won’t move/laying on side with curled leg

    Today I nudged a chick to get it to walk away so I could clean up some poop, and I noticed that it refused to move. I had to pick it up, and when I did, there was no vocal protest and only slight wing flapping. I noticed that when I put it down it would limp forward a few steps and lay on its...

    2-week old broiler chick laying on side with leg curled

    I was nudging this guy out of the way to pick up some poop, and he did not protest at all. I had to physically pick him up, but whenever I set him down, he just flopped back on his side with his leg curled, and did not jump up when other chicks were running over him. I picked him up completely...

    Is my 2-week-old broiler chick’s breast normal?

    Okay, thank you! Is it odd if it is only one of few that are starting to molt like that, though? Like, not many others are quite just yet.

    Is my 2-week-old broiler chick’s breast normal?

    Like, is this molting or is it rubbing against something/taking its down out?
