    Roos or Hens?

    Yes I have him in arizona but recently brought him home to Las Vegas due to his eyes being foamy and him being super skinny. I have two of them and the other one has much more weight and brighter eyes and brighter color in general. I’m not sure if they are both roosters but im trying my best to...

    Roo or Hen?

    Do you guys think this is a Rooster or a Hen? He/She is going on 4 months, around 13-14 weeks old. His comb does seem large and red but he seems really calm and his comb hasn’t grown much since. I recently adopted him but the previous owner said he did crow once or twice but he hasn’t since

    What am I doing wrong???

    So the rest of the chicks from that batch did not get sick, thank God. they are a bit older now and doing great. I’m thinking it’s a problem with two specific breeds of mine. Silkies and Kikirikis. these guys are the only ones being affected and dying. I lost all 7 of them. now last week, I...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Alright so it’s been a while later and I have an update because it’s happening again. So as I said in the original post, my chicks were dying and it can’t be genetics because I use different breeding pens but looking back at the post and the time when I had the chicks, the ones becoming weak and...

    Sick baby chicks?

    So I have these baby chicks who are about 2 weeks old. They were fine and tiny little fluffyballs a week ago but two days ago, I was spraying my flock with the hose because it’s 100+ degrees outside and I was refreshing them and I got water on the chicks and all of them dried up eventually but...

    Coccidiosis??

    They're doing better now, I'm thinking it was a nutritional thing because the only ones who died were my 2 kikirikis and my 4 silkies. none of the other breeds died. I went out and bought them corid which is treatment for coccidiosis just in case and after 7 days, I bought them a vitamins and...

    Hen or roo?

    I agree the first one might be a hen because she's the smallest out of them all and they're the same age. The cockerel is the only one with wattles already and a big comb. Some of them have very tiny wattles barely coming in and a noticeable comb but not that big. This is the cockerel. He's the...

    Hen or roo?

    Can you guys help me sex my 3 month old silkie chicks? I know it’s hard to sex silkies and best options are to wait until they either crow or lay an egg but sometimes a few are really obvious so I wanted to see what you guys think. How many look like they might be roos and how many might be...

    What am I doing wrong???

    I hope so too. I lost two this morning and one more a few hours ago. I'm so stuck right now and hope the rest dont get sick. I separated the sick ones so if it's something contagious, it doesn't spread. I have 22 chicks hatching on Tuesday and Wednesday, I really don't want all my chicks getting...

    Coccidiosis??

    So I have some baby chicks who all of a sudden started getting weak and dying within days. It started with my kikiriki chick who had messy feathers, stood under the heat lamp with its head down a lot of the time and now my two silkie chicks are doing it too along with a silkie mix. They all seem...

    What am I doing wrong???

    I did provide a shelter for them when they were outside, and even though it was really warm outside, maybe it wasn’t as warm as they needed. To be honest, I don’t deworm the parent birds, not with medicine anyway. I’ll usually do it naturally every once in a while but it has been a long time...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Yes, I watch closely and make sure I don’t inbreed. for example, I bred my black silkie rooster with a white hen and once I got chicks from them, i added their daughters to the flock but removed the rooster and replaced him with a new one who isn’t related to any of them. I’m very strict on...

    What am I doing wrong???

    I'm using NatureWise chick starter non-medicated. I did change feed from my past batches to the new ones, but I didn't have problems with my last batch, which I also fed NatureWise to, so I don't believe it is the feed. I lowered the heat lamp, but the chicks started panting, so I raised it...

    What am I doing wrong???

    Yeah, they're from different pens, so I don't believe it is genetics, especially because I've been hatching chicks from these pens for years now, and the chicks are usually healthy and strong

    What am I doing wrong???

    Okay, so I’ve been raising chicks for almost three years now. My survival rate for my chicks has always been high; I rarely lost a chick in the past 3 years, and I’ve raised so many. I just always put extra time and care into my chicks. But I don’t know where everything went wrong this time...

    Dropped pipped egg

    So today is hatch day for my chicken eggs in the incubator and all of them have pipped and so far two hatched. When I opened the incubator to take the first two chicks out and put them in their brooder, one of them pushed over an egg and it fell and cracked. The egg was already pipped but when...
