I need answers for this, and I needed them 3 days ago. I've contacted a few chicken people, Facebook (with a group that probably won't accept my join request, leaving me only to rely on a Silkie Group), Reddit, and called NUMEROUS vets today, with only ONE that sees chickens but is expensive...
Hi. I’ve never had chicks before and we recently got 3 isa browns and 3 Brahma. We purchased them from tractor supply and a few had pasty butt. We clean them daily and all have healed except one. When she poops she chirps in pain.. it’s been a week now and she’s not getting better. It’s almost...
Hello, I recently got 4 chicks around 3 weeks old. One of my chicks, who seems otherwise healthy, has a head twitch. She is the biggest chick and is the strongest with her wings and confidence. She is a Cinnamon Queen. Any suggestions as to what this could be or what I can do to help her?
Does anyone know what’s wrong with my baby chick? She’s about 2 weeks old and her eye has been swelling for the past 4 days. Her eye is very watery and I assume a ball of puss is building up underneath her eye. She keeps it closed for most of the day.
I’m worried it’s a similar complication...
Hi all,
My baby chick is almost 4 weeks old. A week ago, her right eye was shut tight and has not opened since (pic from this morning). She's the only one that ever had pasty butt and has always seemed a little slower, unsteady, but last week was really beginning to fight for her place in the...
Hi, my 7th chick has hatched. It’s two days old now. It hatched in the evening and spent the night in the incubator. I moved to a small brooder next morning and it was chirping like crazy then it pooped and there was a ton of blood with it. It was jellied too. Drinking and eating normal and...
Got this baby pullet from the feed store today, she's a standard chick and my experience is mostly with bantams, so i'm not as good at identifying these guys.
She also has clean legs, not feathered, so my immediate bantam-brain guess being Cochin is clearly wrong. And although I trust the...
I have a 4 day old baby chick with a stiff- straight out leg. The wing on that side is also odd. I can't put it in with the others or it gets trampled.

Hello, I came here to ask for advice. We rescued a baby chick, it's now 2 weeks old. It was thriving until 2 days ago. It suddenly didn't seen to have nearly as much energy as before. It doesn't eat as much anymore, but it does drink a lot of water. The droppings are very watery. I was...
My broody hens sat on fertilised eggs and hatched 5 chicks. 4 are loved and happy with their mummy hens. Today, I found the fifth abandoned. I tried to put it under the australorp hen but she wouldn't have a bar of it and the other broody hen turned her back. It lacked energy so I picked it up...

This baby chick hatched and after about 22-24 hours it still wasn’t dry. We did some googling and cleaned the sticky membrane off with a damp, warm paper towel and blow dried the chick until it was completely dry (it took about an hour to do). We put him with the other chicks in the brooder and...

I’ve got a turken that’s almost 4 weeks old, I’m not sure if its a boy or a girl, but 4-5 days ago she started displaying issues with depth perception and was sleeping a little more. I made notice that she was babying the eye when I examined all the chicks, but I didn’t think much of it except...
Hi all,
I have a hen with her 7 week old chick. The chick is virtually fully feathered and they have been in a separate housing for the last few weeks. My set up is that they have their own house and run within the existing hen area. This means for everyday of the chicks life she has been in...
