    Can you graft baby chicks to mama who already has 3 or 4 day old chicks?

    If she takes them do I turn off any heat lamps or leave one on? Thanks. I have two hens that have taken store bought chicks quite well but two did die.. not sure if it was cold or something else.. I have had the heat lamp on during the day and off at night... but sense that maybe off all the...

    What Breed is this Cockerel

    We bought 5 sex link chicks at the feed store which we have done for years. None of them looked out of the ordinary. They are now 4 months old and one of them has turned out to be a rooster but we can't figure out what breed he is...

    Bumps on feet but not bumblefoot

    At day 12 the swelling is going down, but very slowly. I have gone from soaking twice a day in hot water with epsom salt to once a day but I'm still applying Neosporin twice a day w/ Bag Balm over it sometimes. The skin is peeling off in sometimes big pieces. Some toe nails are black, and I...

    Bumps on feet but not bumblefoot

    Quick PS It turns out that the color changes in frost bite on chickens doesn't happen for a few days or a week, so waiting to see color as a sign of frostbite doesn't work..

    Bumps on feet but not bumblefoot

    So it turns out it was frost bite. I had started her on tetrycycline and lanced it but now blisters are showing up and there are some darkening areas. Reading up on that suggests frostbite and I think I caught it early enough that she will not lose her feet but she may always limp. I am...

    Bumps on feet but not bumblefoot

    Wow, great information. Thanks so much. I'll try the terramycin and keep her separate. I appreciate the feed back and site references!

    Pullet or Cockerel White Leghorn

    Well the roosters we have think she's a pullet, so I've decided that's what it is, despite a super big comb. She is getting frostbite on it so I've been bringing her in at night and she makes the funniest noises and is a real character. None of the other chickens look like her. For a while I...

    Bumps on feet but not bumblefoot

    Please help!: My Buff Laced Polish stopped standing up and I see that she has a big hard lump under one foot and a lot of swelling around it and the other foot is just swollen. I CANNOT find a sore anywhere.... Just the big hard lump. I hate to cut into it and possibly start some infection...

    Pullet or Cockerel White Leghorn

    She acts like a pullet (crouches down when approached, to be picked up) has never crowed, but the two roosters we have chase her all over and peck her crow. She is smaller than the other chickens we have. They all came September 5 as day old pullets. We ordered 100 and so far 2 are confirmed...

    what to do with a "gimpy legged" chicklette

    I have the same problem! I have had her legs tied together for two days but it hasn't seemed to have helped. She doesn't want to out any weight on one leg at all. She is smaller and less active than the others and seems tired. Does anyone have chickens that have grown up using one leg??
