So here's some recent pics taken today of lil Chicken Tender with his hatcher. (Cause I don't know which of the two hens is it's momma) and still have no clue who the daddy is. Someone posted on my original post about this chick that a hen can carry sperm inside for 30 days, does anyone know if...
I have been raising baby chicks from the incubator that seemed completely healthy but today two of them seemed weak. They both died, and I am left with just 1. I have called numbers of stores but none of them had baby chicks right now. Does anyone know a place that I could get baby chicks at? I...
Hi all! I just had my first egg hatch, a baby silkie. She had fluffed up so I took her out of the incubator, I noticed a strange water-like liquid coming out of her vent? It’s very watery and i need help ASAP! I really don’t want anything to happen to her.
I just noticed a piece of mud or poop on my 5 week old chickens toe. I soaked it in warm water and got it to come off. However, it totally left an indent and his foot is misshapen! It looks like his toe nail could easily be pulled off it is like dangling on from the indent. Is he ok? What can I...
I just hatched my first round of chicks! I did a photo shoot with them and put the photos to a video.
Hopefully this is allowed but please let me know if not!
Enjoy!
Would anyone know what breed of chicken this baby chick is?
I got a shipment of turken chicks with one mystery chick and i cannot find what it might be.
Hi,
A hen cracked open this egg but the baby chick is still pippin and moving a bit.
It's been 19 days since her incubation started but doesn't seem ready to break through yet.
What can be done to save her?
I'd appreciate any help/experience 🙏🙏
Granted we are only on day 2 with our brand new baby chicks. I got light brahmas and spotted Sussex. Heard the brahmas are so kind and loving. They are running away from me and don’t like to be held. They are eating well and active. Seem scared. I am being super gentle and kind. Am I doing...
I’m getting baby chicks today. 2 days old. I was told that they love mashed up/minced hard boiled eggs as treats- especially the yolk! Is it okay to give them this during the first few days I have them? I remember my last flock loving them and I fed early on. Okay to feed yolk first day I get...
Hello,
One of my 7-week-old girls has developed Valgus leg deformity in both her legs. As of 1.5 weeks ago she had not grown to size or strength of her flock mates, so we moved her to her own area, started treating her water with D-Vis-Ol and directly on her beak twice a day and have started...
My hen hatched one of her eggs last night at some point because I came out to this poor baby ... it is alive, trying to walk but just lays , wings sprawled out , barely able to cheep... also, I NEVER hold chicks like this but didn't want to touch the bloody part while handling all the other...
I recently got 4 new “assorted bantam” chicks and was curious if anyone could detect the actual breed? 2 are a light grey with yellow on the head and feathered feet. 1 is a mix of brown, grey, and a little yellow on the head, feathered feet. 1 is WHITE with pale clean feetsies.
I know it’s hard...

2 week old baby chick got attacked by a cat. I got to it within seconds and there is a single fang puncture wound on her side, towards the leg. I followed all the advice and separated her from other chicks, cleaned and treated the wound with Neosporin.
Question: how do I give antibiotic to a...
We have just hatched some baby chicks in an incubator, all of them were fine except one little guy, hes around 4 days old. I noticed he has almost no strengh to walk and constantly sleeps, he drinks and eat just fine, the only time he tries to walk is when going for food, but most of the time he...

Last night I had one of my incubated chicks hatch and I had another egg piping and the baby chick keeps moving the piping egg will that affect the baby chick from hatching out of it?

I have a baby chick about 4 days old. It can walk but wobbly. Once it falls on its side that the wing seems not to be working it cannot get back up while if it falls to the side the wing looks and use is normal it catches itself from falling. I have been adding egg yolk, green tea, and a vitamin...
