I have baby silkies that just reached 2 weeks old yesterday. I’m starting to think about if I should begin taking heat away from them in about a week. They are under the heat lamp 24/7 but I do take them out for about 15-20 minutes every day. They walk around just fine and love being out! I am...

Hey all. I have four baby chicks, all about 2-3 weeks old. Starting about a week ago, I’ve been having frequent diarrhea, cramping, and fatigue whilst handling my chicks often. We are thinking it is salmonella since I’ve never gotten sick like this before and it would be quite a coincidence. We...

I had 14 two week old chicks. About 30 minutes ago, we heard some high pitched peeping and went to investigate. A couple chicks were lying down with their beaks in the bedding. Within minutes, more were looking poor and went into death seizures. In the last 30 minutes, 9 have died, 3 are looking...
What breed do you guys think she is
( brown one)? I was thinking maybe a belgian because she's brown and sort of speckled wings? She has feathered feet too and seems like a good flyer (she flew from an object about a foot and a half or more away from me onto my arm once). She's about 2 weeks...
