    Chick sick with lump

    Hi can someone please help me identify the problem with this chick and hopefully a cure? The chick is about three weeks old and significantly smaller than the rest of the chicks. Also she doesn’t move as much as the rest of them. Sometimes she is by herself. Thank you.

    Chick with leg issues/is there a chance it can adapt?

However, she is now almost a year old and aside from her messed up leg she is overall a healthy and happy chicken. She lays eggs, roams...

    Ameraucana from ace hardware?

    This chick was labeled Ameraucana and it was from ace hardware. I was told it was from Hoovers hatchery. I was wondering if this was correct and what color will it be once it is older?

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂
