Nikki, Are you the "Nikki" that Sally Sunshine feels is the chick sexing expert? If so I would love tips on how to sex chicks. The internet frequently comments about causing harm to the chick, unless you are specially trained. Any thoughts? Lynn Marie

Hi scooter!

I havent said anyone is an expert or do I remember discussing it other than what Nikki posted a few days ago?... so not sure whatcha talking bout?? Anyways... I think on you tube there is a cool video of duck sexing??? It may be linked up on my duck article at the bottom. Someone sent me a link to sexing via facebook but I didnt think it a good video. Big hatcheries always feather and vent sex as far as I know???? anyone???

If you find anything out I sure would like to know too!

I ordered chicks from Mayers hatchery. Three days now and I have lost 5 chicks. They get weak and next day die. Stools look fine. They just get weak and die. If they continue I'll end up with none

no butt problem poop dark brown kind of musty. And they have room to move away from heat lamp. But they gather under it. I thought coccyx any chance of it?
