Gritsar- your birds are beautiful!

Here is a pic of The Phoenix ( I love that name, hahha). Does she look like a standard buff to you? In the bottom pic you can see how small she is compared to the Orp and the Barred. They're from the same local feed store, but I think they must have hatched the Brahmas a few days later even...

Quote: I LOVE the Brahma. She is so gentle looking and sweet. How many Brahmas do you have, are they Buff? Thats why I was so worried, becasue of all the chicks I chose her (my kids/DH have theirs picked out) and she is my only Brahma. That was a mistake, should have gotten one more and one...

Quote: Thanks, I'm glad she's better too. I just hope she doesnt relapse being in the brooder with the others. Your post is making me suspect even more that one or two of my chicks is a rooster. It was fascinating to watch them go at each other like that, havent seen them do it before. It...

okay, so THE PHOENIX was feeling so much better that she was chirping like mad, and kept trying to jump out of it's mini brooder that I had covered with a cookie cooling rack (it was a very small emergency brooder). i thought she might give her self brain damage from all the hitting of her...

Quote: The rice buddy is an excellent idea, thanks. I'll have to remember that. She spent the night roosting on the side of her food dish. So funny, in a sad way, because she would end up with her beak buried in the chick starter.

GUESS WHAT? little brahma lived through the night! and she looks pretty good today, with both eyes open and shes chirping normally. I gave her chopped scrambled eggs with a little sugar and water mixed in several times last evening, and forced her to drink sugar water mix. i went to bed at...

brahma chick is now in separate mini brooder. she's eating a little, but not drinking on her own. she is breathing hard with her beak open, is this what you all mean by gasping for breath? i think i know the answer to that question... shes laying down a lot seems to have no energy.

yes thats it, melted chocolate! thanks so much for that

belgian- did your chicks suffer from runny poop? i was scared it could be coccy i'll def try the oatmeal. thinking about giving brahma some scrambled eggs, what do you think?

all chicks are on medicated starter, no blood in any poo, but like i said at least one chick has runny poo (brown). i want to isolate this one so i can inspect poo better. ps- how can anyone carry a chick in their bra? i am apparently boob challenged...

update= i gave little brahma some sugar water, not drinking enthusiastically like i hoped. i have it in my shirt now, since shes shivering. i hope this helps. my DH is setting up another mini brooder so i can keep her separated from the rest

Hi, I bought 6 chicks at Agway last Sunday, different breeds. They looked to be about 4 days old when we bought them. They're now about 2 weeks old. My only B Brahma is growing much more slowly than all the others (few feathers although the orp i bought is HUGE and has tons of feathers), and...
