Hi everyone,
I have a group of 5 one-week old baby chicks and last night my chocolate sexlink (that we are now affectionately calling Twitch) started shaking her head and scratching at her neck/chin area. I have checked for mites and lice and I have examined her face and beak, and there is no...
Hi! I have a baby Silkie about 1 week old with a prolapse vent and some of it is protruding out a lot. We're not sure if there is a tear as well since the chick is so small, it's hard to see what's going on and this is our first time encountering this. Been looking online and reading advice on...
A year ago we had a baby Welsummer chick that got a broken leg somehow. It was horrible seeing her not able to put any weight on it. We debated whether we should "do away with it" but decided to see how things went. We also thought about doing a splint, but I was afraid of doing it wrong and...
Hello there, we got baby chicks yesterday from a market, and the next day one of the four baby chicks who was doing fine yesterday is standing up and closing its eyes and isn’t moving around, the other chicks seem completely fine just eating and chirping. This one is just standing there and...
So i hatched these chicks a few days ago but theres this one, They're mom is a salmon faverolle and their dad is SUPPOSED to be a salmon faverolle ameracauna mix but this little chick doesnt look like dad or mom or any of their other siblings who are just yellow. Theres another rooster in the...
help, one of our chicks got caught in between the incubator sections and her leg is red and swollen, it looks really bad and we don’t know what to do, we can’t put a splint on it like we have in the past as it is closer to the body
Hi there,
We recently got 7 chicks and 4 have died now, one by one. They act normal and then slowly get more lethargic. Their poop is brown, runny and smelly. They don’t want to use their legs. Then they will die. This is my first time with chicks and I’m so upset. We have a thermometer and...
I have 2 chicks and i have this little guy that i found with a bald spot. I’ve seen him scratch at his head rapidly plenty of times and today i seen this. Maybe that’s what caused it but should i be worried?and could i do anything to get him to stop.
I know the dad is a polish, but the mom is a guessing game. It is either my silkie or my frizzle. That is all that is in there with him. It came out of a white egg that was a little pointy at the end. Can you help me figure out what this little baby is?
Hi there, I have a 4-week old barred rock chick (along with 24 other chicks) and they have all been thriving until yesterday I heard this baby chick screaming for help and all her siblings were attacking her vent.
I can't tell if it's a prolapse or just swollen or what the issue is? I've...
I have some wild chickens that I have been feeding for a few years and I rescued a one month old baby chick that had been attacked by another hen, its has an injured limp leg. I have been feeding it a little bit of raw scrambled egg in a syringe but it wont eat much and is refusing to eat or...
Egg got stepped on (we think). Our broody hen had 6 fertilized eggs. One of them hatched 2 days ago so we were going to candle the rest today to see if any others were developing. When we went to check we realized one of the eggs had fallen out of her nest and I guess one of the other hens...
She didn't really eat much all day but she's been drinking water my husband went to Walmart and bought her a mealworm sunflower treat bar which he ate as soon as I put it in their cage but when I came back from the bathroom she was lying on her stomach with her legs stretched out behind her...
Hello everyone,
Today we heard cheeping under our hen (who had been sitting on eggs for some time) we lifted her up to find one dead chick (very sad :( and upsetting) but another that was just popping out of its shell. We watched it come out and it was falling everywhere over the other eggs so...
Hello chicken lovers, so this was my very first time ordering chicks online. I bought them from MyPetChicken.com. Got myself a Speckled Sussex, Blue Laced red Wyandotte, silver Laced Wyandotte and Plymouth Barred Rock. It went perfectly well, and I didn’t even have to go to the post office. They...
This chick I presume is an Old English Game breed. As for the gender... I'm guessing hen but its orange-comb is becoming peachy pink. The comb is miniscule in size(it has the smallest comb)
The fourth picture is just a full-grown Old English game Bantam, which is most-likely my chick's breed.
