Okay! Once they get settled in, back warm and their bellies full (I just picked them up this morning) I’m going to inventory them and see how many I received in total. Maybe they just shipped me more than I ordered.
Thank you ❤️
I only ordered 5 starlight green eggers (4 have passed) and I have several more chicks (atleast 4-5) that have chipmunk stripes on them. I took a video but it won’t let me post.
Sorry yes that’s the assorted white layers that I ordered! I figured I’d post a pic to give people a description of what could come in the assorted white layers.
TW: Chick Loss!!!!
Sorry to post these pictures but I need to identify which chicks these are in order to report my losses.
I received a total of 33 birds in 2 seperate boxes. 1 box had 18 and 1 box had 15. The box with 18, I have lost the 4 chicks pictured and they all look to be the same...
What am I dealing with? My boyfriend said he noticed she had a slightly dirty butt on Monday but today it’s much much worse. I plan to catch her and treat her today but was able to get these pics so I could ask what y’all thought. Also her poop seems very normal. I’ve added that too.
I don’t have an updated photo but there is 2 roosting bars - 8ft long - on each side of the coop. There is 12 regular sized chickens and 2 bantams in this coop. They have plenty of room. There is a droppings board under each roosting bar - maybe 2ft off the ground.
How do I administer all of this? I can go get some tomorrow. Tablets, capsules or liquid? Syringe feeding food/meds scare me as I’m still a new chicken tender. If I lose her I will definitely take her for a necropsy.
Chickens were in the process of putting themselves to bed when my boyfriend heard a thud inside the coop. When he went inside to see what the noise was he saw this one on the coop floor with its neck sideways and walking in circles. We have her inside, seperated. She doesn’t seem to be in pain...
I put her in our deep freezer - which I would assume would not be a cooler 🥴 and plan to bury her tomorrow with our other 2 silkies we lost during the heat wave.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I just went to check on her again and she had passed. I’m glad I could give her one on one attention today but sad I couldn’t help her. 💔
I can’t remember when I got her - normally I mark it in my calendar but I didn’t for some reason with her and the other 7 I got at the same time. Thank you. I will try these things.
