    HELP!! Chicken with odd behavior bullied by all hens - trying to reintroduce him to the flock?

    I hatched 8 chicks (currently 8-9 weeks old) and At around 5 weeks old one day they began to beat my speckled Sussex rooster (I think he's a boy!). He was beat up and badly injured and dying. I brought him inside and nursed him and I was shocked to see he made it. He had really bad head injuries...

    8 Week old lethargic, weak

    My 8 week old is very lethargic and can’t keep her head up for very long. She falls asleep almost instantly and can’t keep her eyes open and her chirping is very weak. I don’t know what her poop looks like because I hurt my back and my boys have been taking care of her the past few days. I’ve...

Fern is the black and white chick ( who I think is an Easter egger) and dolly is the yellow one ( I have no idea what breed she is ). They are eight weeks! Any help would...

    Baby chicks fighting.

    About 8 weeks ago I hatched out two chicks. I got up today to let them out of the pin, and then about 5 minutes later both of them puffed up and ran at each other and started pecking each other on the beak.I have never seen this before so I don't know what to think. Can anyone explain to me what...

    8 week old chick hunched over, large crop?

    I have 3, 8 week old chicks and the last few days one that I think is the only pullet has been more docile and all hunched inside her feathers most of the day, with her short tail pointing down. I attached some bad quality pictures, but it gives the idea of how she has been looking, even when...

    Adorable Attempt at a Crow for 8 week old Cockerel

    I just had to share this because it's too cute! "KnotHead" is 8 weeks old. He is from a Crested Cream Legbar Hen and Copper Maran Rooster. My daughter named him this because he has always had a knot on his head, right before his beak starts. All 3 guys are going to be joining their bigger flock...
