    Sexing 4 week old chicks with fighting technique? Rooster or pullet?

    Update on my newest babies

    Unfortunately, Cinnamon passed away. I had her cremated and am waiting on the ashes. Attached is a picture I drew of her being greeted by my late rabbit at the rainbow bridge. We tried our best but I’m afraid she failed to thrive. Our other three chicks have grown a LOT! The two barred babies...

    Confusing chick?

    So about a month ago, I had purchased two EEs. They both had the beard fluff and were the same size, however- now, nearly a month later, they look drastically different. The lighter color one being what looks to be a perfect EE. The darker colored one is now showing signs that it may be a bantam...

    What breed and sex are my chicks

    Hi so I have 3 chicks which I was told were New Hampshires and that they were female. I'm not exactly sure if they are or aren't. I'm not allowed to have roosters in the city I live in so I'm a little worried.

    Still a Teeny Chick

    So now all my chicks are 4 weeks. Last time I posted I got nothing that really gave me a reason why (when they were 3 weeks). This one particular chick isn’t really getting any new feathers, or growing at all. I don’t know if I should be worried? Here are pictures (I don’t know what breed he/she...

    Gender in Breed?

    This little sweetie is nearly 4 weeks. It hatched from a Black Cooper Maran egg. The farm I got it from she thought it could be a black crossed with an olive egger, or maybe just a really dark Blue Cooper Maran. Out of the bunch it’s my favorite. The comb is prominent but there is no sign it’s...

    Injured Chicken

    My 4wk old chick was attacked by my dog 3 days ago. We think that she's in shock, but she has only been sleeping and drinking for 3 days. She is motionless, and only drinks a little bit of water a few times a day. We don't think that she has internal injuries, but she seems like she's dying.

    Baby chick with midsection that is enlarged(inflamed?) and blue tinted.

    Chick also has a mass/ball at the end of the keel bone. It looks like she has some kind of internal damage since the area looks like a bruise. She’s moving around fine and is eating and drinking. Though she’s really thin and tiny compared to her siblings. Though I have seen that she’s hunched...

    Chick is making gurgling noises when peeping.

    Hey everyone, my hatchings are now a few weeks old and for the most part they're doing fine except 5 of them, which looked slightly lethargic. I took them inside and notices that their crops were empty. I soaked some bread in warm water and added a decent amount of vinegar into the mix and let...

We first bought 6 from a local farm store that the girl working picked out and within the first night one died. Then from then on we had a chick die every...
