I have a 11 day old chick that seems to be less active than the others. He recently started holding out his wings kind of outward and moving his head in a weird turning way? (It’s hard to explain but I’ll Try and get a video) He kinda stretches his neck out and then turns it to the side with his...

Received 8 chicks today in the mail. Ordered Silkies but the black one appears to be a Serama. It takes a big bite of its wing, holds onto it, and won’t let go. Than it pulls its wing violently; so hard that it trips and falls! It screams in agony while it does this😕. Is there anything I can do...
Hi everyone! My male Australorp, Verde, is sick. He's still young; barely 5 months old. His condition seems to be quite serious and I'm wondering how his passing (if it comes to that) will affect his flockmates? They are inseparable it's really cute. When he calls they come and when he leaves...
I ordered some female Jersey Giants from Hoover’s Hatchery and they just arrived! But after looking them over one of my little girls has toes that are curling really badly and almost giving her a club foot. How do I help her? The middle toe on the same foot also curls completely underneath her foot.
Hi, (a bit of background)

Only Wondering about the red and yellow chicks in the picture the other ones are most likely Easter eggers ( was told Americaunas but doubt it ) but I was told the yellow one is a new hamshire but shes looking a little too yellow or will she become more red as the time goes by. The red one I was...

One of our Silkies, Emperor, recently had four babies, and due to the cold right now where we live, we decided to keep them inside. This morning when I checked on them, one of our babies had gotten completely stuck in their mother's feathers. It took quite a while to get them unstuck. Last time...
One of my ducklings got his leg caught in some wire late last night/early this morning. He is drinking water but not eating. I moved him inside so the other ducks wouldn't get on his leg. He can't get up/stand up, of course. I'm not sure what I should do to help him. I'm not even sure if he will...
Hello all!
I was experimenting letting my Broody hen raise a chick she hatched and she was doing a great job the whole first day, very protective from the other chickens. However the other chickens must have caught her off guard at some point because I found the 3 day old chick with a huge...
