    Is this chick a hen or a rooster? And what breed is it?

    This little chick has been through a lot, with pasty butt problems and prolapsed vent. It was always a little runt. Now thay's grown some more, I'm questioning its gender. I'm sure its a cream legbar and assumed it was a hen due to the distinctive broen stripe running along its back and head...

    Hi all. I have a silky that showed signs of wry neck at 2/3 days old. I immediately looked it up, found a lot of info from this site about vitamin e and selenium and began giving it both of these. It cured it but then a week or so later, so it was about 2 weeks old at this point maybe, it...

    Can a chick live that is not fully developed?

    This baby was born today under one of my chickens. This is the second one that came out looking this way. I treated it and added liquid bandage on the skin. Is there anyway that the chicks can survive? Also what would cause them to hatch this way?

    I have a chick, about 3-4 weeks old, and I'm stumped on what species it is.

    Bone or feather?

    One of my baby chicks was severely pecked by the rest of the chicks and while I thought it was bone at first and was going to put it down, some are telling me it’s just a blood feather, so I don’t want to put it down if it has a fighting chance. It’s eating and drinking and running around and...

I put him in a sock to keep him mostly upright but I’m not sure how to get him to stand/sit on his own. He is smaller than his brothers/sisters who are the same...

    Chicks think 90-95°F is too cold?

    So, I just got my babies this morning and I’ve been constantly adjusting the heat lamp. I’ve been told that the correct temperatures for 0-1 week is 90-95°F and to lower that temperature every week, but so far I’ve noticed that they all huddle if the temperature in under 93° and seem...
