Guys this little guy hatched from my breeding pair but none of my chickens are Amercuana breed, I found out that my hen’s mother was a amercuana breed. But for some reason, I’m mostly getting those kind of breeds. I thought I would get mostly same genetics from the parents but for some reason...
Guys, I hatched this gorgeous Ameraucana chick from my hen and rooster, I know they aren’t the same breed like the Chick, but the hen’s Mom was a Ameraucana. If you guys know what color breed it is please let me know🫶🫶
Ok so I know about Teflon poisoning, and im paranoid about it lol. The only place I can put the baby chicks is on the enclosed back porch, which is also where the propane griddle/grill is. If the grill got cooked on would it make the chicks sick? I know it's not an ideal place to put then but...
I found one of my chicks this morning with a missing leg — All other chicks and other animals are fine and there’s sign of struggling such as feathers.
The injury itself is very strange; her left leg is completely gone, and there’s almost no blood. The area where the leg once was is just...
Hello, my father just recently ordered and received a shipment of about 20 4-6 day old dark brahma chicks. They all came in with pretty obvious angel wing but other than than nothing else seemed off. I've since been treating them with a chick water supplement but plan on switching them to a...
Today I went to let our chickens and everything seemed fine. As I was walking away, I noticed that the baby chick being raised by two of our hens was not out with them. This is not typical as it comes out with them every morning. It is a couple of months old. I went back in and searched the coop...
I very recently got 4 chicks, I'm expecting to get more but wanted to make sure I could handle it first. (I have MS and fatigue is a killer). I'm learning that this is probably the most awesome thing I've done since my diagnosis and will likely end up with ducklings as well! Maybe rabbits some...
Hi! So I recently bought some chicks from a person local to me. I've had them for a couple days now, and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of a bad smell they have.
I've had plenty of chickens and chicks these last few years, and I've never had them smell like this before. It's like a...
Hi!
This is my first time owning chickens. I have one bird in particular that is more so aggressive to me and my boyfriend maybe thinks it’s a rooster. I’m not sure how to tell if it is.
It’s a gold laced Wyandotte and about 4 weeks old now.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, my mom is raising a chick and it keeps doing something weird with its head. I’ll put a video below. I don’t know what’s to do since I’m alone and she’s at work.
I have a 3 week old chick that my kids are complaining “sneezes a lot”
They’re on dried hemp bedding. We’re pretty sure it’s a rooster as it has a comb and wattles already. It’s not lethargic, very active, eats plenty, and even bullies the other chicks. It has no drainage or discharge from...
I have a 4 week old chick with scissor beak — since he has a little more trouble eating than the other chicks I’ve been softening starter feed with water for him to eat, but he’s still smaller than the other chicks. Is there something more nutrient-dense I can feed him to fatten him up faster...
