    Goop from Chick's Mouth?

    I came home today to see that one of my 5 day old chicks had goop coming out of her mouth. It was a fairly large pile and looked like goopy saliva. She's still eating and drinking, but she is peeping more than usual. What's wrong with her?

    5 week old chicks suddenly mouth breathing

    My Americauna chicks are about 5 weeks old. They just were moved to their outdoor brooder yesterday. All seemed well until a few hours ago I noticed 2 are mouth breathing and rolling around on the ground and they just aren't acting right. Its 79 out so I wouldn't think too hot and they are...

    Two Week Old Chick Limping w/ Swollen Red Joint

    Hi there folks, So I’m new to chicks, but not chickens in general. I recently received some day old chicks by mail. I lost a Speckled Sussex without much warning on day three after receiving them. Today makes two weeks and three days since these girls (hopefully girls) were hatched. Just a few...

    What is wrong with their eyes?!

    My brooder was a bit overcrowded as chicks started growing up. Naturally, I started putting them in larger enclosures and noticed a few of the lower pecking order chicks have swollen eyes. I separated the chicks and tried getting the eyes to drain but haven't had any luck. Keeping the eyes clean...

    Only one chick surviving...

    I ordered BO eggs online from the only source I could find at the time. I needed them fast because I wanted to give them to my broody hen. However, I was taking her eggs away every day and she stopped brooding before the eggs arrived. Anyway, because of the urgency, I ordered eggs from across...

    Hatched Chicken Problem!

    Asking this for a friend: Can I get some insight on a chick? This little one just hatched and it's stomach is big and black. It also has a red lumpy piece of flesh connected to the umbilical cord. I don't remember seeing it on the other chicks. Is it any cause for alarm?

    Baby chick- discharge and sleeps forever

    Yesterday 5 new chicks came to my little chicken farm in Connecticut. 1 little chick arrived lethargic. We thought it was just a weak chick, and after an hour, it passed away. Today another one of our chicks is doing the same thing. Wherever we place her, she plops down and sleeps. She won’t...

    Why I check chick feet regularly now!

    I had a very interesting thing happen to me a few days also and I will certainly keep it from happening again. My partner and I were putting some chicks into a box because we had a customer showing up soon, and we wanted to take them out to show them. I noticed one of the chicks looked ill, so...

    Could this be coccidiosis?

    I have 6 chicks (Plymouth rocks and wyandottes) and I found this poop on their heat mat this morning. This is my third brood, and I have never had an issue with coccidiosis in any of my adult chickens, or chicks before... So I don't really know what I am doing... I have begun adding coccidiostat...

    Little Chick Not Doing Well

    hello! I just had an incredible hatch, 14/17 chicks and two more would've gotten out if I had been more patient and not opened the incubator, and 13 are strong and healthy. However, sadly, I don't think one of them is doing so hot. I named him Elbow so I don't get too attached. Anyways, Elbow is...

    Tiny baby chick

    I recently bought some chicks from a local hatchery and one seems to be having some trouble. It is much smaller than the rest and seems to stumble forward when it walks. It sleeps more than everyone else but is still chirping and eating and drinking. It doesn't look like it has any deformities...
