Thank you for all the advice guys. Sadly the chick passed away during the night. The power went out and even though my parents knew they didn't tell me. The other chicks were also cold when I went out but because they were able to huddle up together they were fine. But the chick in the box with...

This was a test run for my new incubator. Dad was saying he might take it back. My other one wasn't holding heat as well as it should and there were cold patches. The incubator was 10 year old though so shouldn't be surprised. Still hatched out a few ducks last year for me.

No, we don't have any of that here. I tried to find some but nothing. He has a starter mush and honey water at the moment. I don't think it has 2 vents. Poo is washed off and I've been keeping an eye on it. I think because he's just having mush it's a bit runnier so is making more of a mess...

I am very dedicated to all my animals. I have bottle fed lambs and a goat. I was getting up every 2 hours on school nights to keep the lambs alive. I have a problem where I don't like seeing animals suffer but if there seems to be a chance I'll take it. I have heard many stories of birds with...

My dad was the one who helped him out. He used to breed heritage breeds for years. We had 400 odd chooks at one point not counting the other poultry. He helps them out and gives them a shot but doesn't hold his breath on if it'll survive or not. I guess we're just those people that if they think...

Yes, I cleaned him up a couple hours ago. Shoes went on about an hour ago so hopefully that helps that side of things. I know that some chicks don't survive unfortunately but I'd like to do all I can to give this one a fighting chance. It's looking a bit better and is standing a bit better.

Thank you for the recipe. I'll give it a shot if I can get my hands on some ingredients tomorrow. I don't have a way to get into town otherwise I would. If I do go into town this weekend I'll get some though. It's had access to starter mush using water and egg yolk during the day. It's not...

@21hens-incharge Sorry, you’re the only one who has replied so far. Do you know how much a 3 day old chick should weigh? I’m pretty sure it’s a red Ancona but not 100% sure as I didn’t see what egg it come from. I just weighed her because I figured I should have some sort of reference for her...

This poor chick. I've just notice she has a lump beside her vent. It's soft. Any ideas? *Also, please ignore the poop on her. She is still able to poop but I don't want to touch the area too much until I figure out what's wrong. And it's not as bad as it looks. There is a bit of shell stuck...

Thank you. Yes, I've got some yolk and some honey water that I've been giving him. He's getting a bit stronger but not standing still.

Chick is about 3 days old. Drinking. Has eaten a bit of chick starter yesterday but not much. Is very chatty, especially when I leave him. Haven't noticed anything wrong with his poops. He is being kept in a box in the brooder so he doesn't get attacked by the other chicks. Heat lamp. Barastoc...

Are there any fruit or vegetables that will provide chicks with vitamins? Any other food I could give them? I've got a weak chick so would like to see if he needs some vitamins but I don't have anything to give him. I read somewhere peas provide vitamins. If I'm going to feed him peas do I have...
