    Puller or cockerel?

    I bought these chicks a few weeks ago and should be about the same age(around 6 weeks). I noticed some of the chicks are already getting quite red combs. Are those the boys? I know some might be too young to tell but appreciate any guesses to what they might be. Does anyone know what breeds...

    urgent—baby chick question

    Hey everyone, We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...

    Sick Chick

    One of my thirty 8 week old chicks has diarrhea and has for the past 5-6weeks. I started giving it electrolytes as soon as I noticed it was sick but it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t seem to be lethargic and eats and drinks regularly as far as I can tell. Any diagnosis or suggested treatment...

    What is this little dude?

    I’m 99% sure this is a cockerel. He’s about 5 weeks old now. At first I thought barred rock, but definitely doesn’t look like any barred rock I’ve seen before. Any ideas?

    Chick Dominance Behavior

    Two questions about chick dominance behavior (they're almost 3 weeks old): 1. As of today, the alpha male has moved beyond occasionally pecking my hand to biting. Clearly, saying "no" in a loud, stern voice isn't working. Any other ideas to curb this behavior? BTW, I've raised six dogs -...

    HELP Chick Not Absorbing Veins and Yolk

    I found this chick pipped under the broody hen 26 hours ago. His beak was not at the pip location so I picked the egg up to investigate and the membrane was dry, there was no movement, and I didn’t hear any pips. I placed him in the incubator for a few hours while I did some research. I read...

    Wry Neck

    I have a 4wk old polish chick and she has developed a case of wry neck. I got the selenium, administered it 2x yesterday and 1x this morning. I’ve been dripping her water from a syringe with poultry cell mixed in. She gets random spirts of energy and will try to eat her food like normal, but...
