    Chicks sneezing alot?

    Hello! My 4 week old chicks have started sneezing, a bunch. Particularly one of them. The liquid from the sneezing is cold and clear, it also covers their beaks sometimes. They're acting normal otherwise, drinking and eating as usual. Should I worry or give them anything to help?

    What do I have? 🐥

    I have 15 FBC Marans. Mostly turning out to be roos. I had three extra surprise eggs to hatch, not sure what they are. One looks like my marans but has a fluffy neck. One is white with a few black tipped feathers and came out of a much smaller speckled brown egg, and then a beautiful blue that...

    Are these Pullets or Cockerels?

    I hatched 18 chicks of which I am sure that 8 are pullets and 7 are cockerels. However, I still have 3 of which I am unsure of. The first two chicks grew their feathers relatively quickly and are almost fully feathered, but their combs are suspicious. The third chick grew its feathers quicker...

    What should I do with a chick with a backwards leg?

    What should I do about this? I separated her, but she wants to go back with the others. She’s able to move around and everything, her leg just concerns me. This randomly appeared a week or so ago, and I’m just worried about it. She can right it, but then she slowly rotates back until her leg is...

    4 week old chick with missing down/feathers

    Hi there! I’m new to the site and also new to owning chickens. I hate that this is the first post I’m making, but here it goes. A little background on my flock: We bought 4 chicks about 3 weeks ago. 1 Starlight Green Egger and 3 that are either Sapphire Gems or Sapphire Olive Eggers (My guess...

    Is this pea comb too large for a 4 week old EE pullet?

    I know that at four weeks most gender guesses could very well be wrong, but I've heard that in EEs only roosters have 3 lined pea combs. Is this true? 🤔 I have a chick that I was really hoping to be a pullet, but the comb is definitely 3 lined. Not red at all yet, though. This is him/her here...

    Golden Wyandotte Chicks? Need help ID'ing and sexing two chicks

    Hey ya'll, We were under the impression that we purchased 3 Barr Rock baby chicks from TSC. There was an issue with one of their brooders so they had to shuffle chicks around and therefore all the signage didn't make it to the corresponding chicks. By order of elimination we felt that they were...

    Possible Eye infection to young roo???

    One of my four week old roos either has an eye infection or was pecked in the eye or scratched in the eye. I’m not so sure it is infection because that flock is being treated for respiratory illness with an anabiotic water. I don’t have much medication on hand especially for the eyes. I checked...

    Jasmine or Jerry?? What is the sex if this chick?

    Hello!! This is my 4+ week old Golden Laced Wyandotte. I’m starting to think Jasmine will need to be renamed to Jerry! She has a much larger comb than the other chicks and grew much slower. What do you guys think?

    Heat lamp? 4 weeks Barred Rocks

    My chickadees are starting to have head feathers poke thru at 4 weeks. Tonight I turned on my cozy coop heater per usual and they were as far away from the heat as possible and it’s on low. We get in the 50’s in the night. Should I leave the heat on anyways? Can they go outside permanently now...

    SLW 4 weeks - Male or Female

    Our 4 week old silver laced Wyandotte is a real dink! I got her out of a tub of pullets at tractor supply. I'm starting to wonder if she's maybe a roo! Any thoughts? She goes after the other three. I have all different breeds so can't compare her to anyone. She is the most curious and when my...

    What Do I Treat Them All With?

    One of our four Silkie chicks may be sick but I'm not sure what s/he may be sick with. I can't separate them so I need to give them all the same thing in case it spread to them. I brought Small Fry out to look her/him over as I noticed how s/he was acting. Small Fry is 4-5 weeks old while the...
