    HELP! 8wk chick not doing well...lethargic, wheezing

    ok, chick is a LOT better. She must have just been that cold. She is alert, she ate her scrambled egg and drank some water. I fixed the heat lamp in the coop, so I have returned her to the coop. I watched her, and she hopped up on the low roost (close to the heat) and saw her huddle up with...

    HELP! 8wk chick not doing well...lethargic, wheezing

    ok. i dont have any electrolyes currently on hand (all out). She is still in my lap, and she is starting to move around more, and I am hearing a lot more peeping. I might move her to a box w/ a heat lamp soon. I can go pick up some electrolytes soon and I will scramble her an egg in a bit...

    HELP! 8wk chick not doing well...lethargic, wheezing

    I have 5 baby chicks that are now about 8wks old. We moved them outside to the coop (with a heat light) about 2wks ago. One of the hens adopted them and has been looking out for them. The weather took a shocking cold snap earlier than expected. My light went out last night (I didnt realize...

    hen attacked by dog

    Thank you! She isn't used to being handled so I put her in her nesting box to calm down. I will try to isolate, but I don't really have a set up for it. Our chickens are free ranged. But that may change now that our dog went after them. :-( I can't believe she did. She is such a mellow...

    hen attacked by dog

    Our red laced blue wydonette hen is only about 5mths old. She is alive, but very stressed. She is not bleeding but seems to have a gash on her back and a chunk of missing feathers. She is stressed and panting, but other than the gash seems fine. What should I do to help her? Do I need to...

    talk to me about Cur Dogs (Mountain and Black Mouth)

    i am VERY familiar with training dogs. I worked for about 5 years as a professional dog trainer (it was my hobby job...I went through an apprenticeship, ect). I stopped training after I had my second child and she had a lot of health issues. (she is now 5yo, and in perfect health). I used...

    talk to me about Cur Dogs (Mountain and Black Mouth)

    We have been lightly talking about getting another dog. We don't have one currently and we love dogs. We live in a remote area. We want a good family dog, but would love a double duty dog that could be trained to help protect our flock of chickens during the day. We saw a Mountain Cur puppy at...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    ok, here are pics of the OEGB we have already. This is from when she was living in the house while we nursed her back to health. She was pretty neglected when we rescued her. Then she got all broody and we let her hatch a chick. She was a good mama, and then we were able to put her and her...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    oh snap..... I will be bummed if the OGEB ish chick is a boy. The frizzel is already crowing.. :D we have 2 roo's already, (2 blue splash cochins). If 2 of these 3 are boys we will need to probably bring the numbers down. We were already thinking about finding one of the cochin's a new...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    I have no idea what a BLRW is....but Rain does look similar to your Lucky. If that little one is an OEGB instead of a Sebright, we will be super happy with that too! We have an OEGB that we rescued from horrible conditions we named Angel. I dont remember what her coloring is called....she is...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    I am excited the little one is a Sebright (my daughter named her Jack). I have wanted a Sebright for a few years now. Well, if Rain (the grey one) is just a mutt....she is a darn cute one!! (and good call on the Frizzle, he is definately a boy!)

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    ok, here are some more pictures now that chicks are a little older. So the frizzle is a cockeral, he started crowing and it is obvious he has a bright red comb and wattles coming in. The mystery grey one is still a mystery. She is SUPER mellow and will just let anyone hold her and snuggle...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    i would LOVE a D'uccle.....but alas, chick #2 has clean legs.... Hence why i thought she might be a Sebright. She is SO tiny. Much more petite than the other 2 chicks. Oh, and can I say....little Frizzle has such a cute personality! She is very inqusitive. Chick #2 (we named it Jack) is...

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?

    anyone? anyone??? i am looking at seabright chick pictures...and I dont think chick 2 is a seabright anymore. She has sorta slate legs....so she is probably an EE.... still have NO clue about chick 3.

    Mixed Bantam Bin, what is your guess?
