    Assorted chicks from mail order hatchery

    I have guesses, but I'm not sure what I have other than silkies and polish. Others were Rainbow Pack from Meyer's and Assorted Rare breeds. And then it seems Easter Egger can look many different ways so I'm very confused.

    All My Chicks Died. WTH?

    Well, this certainly sucks. I had four chicks hatch Sunday into Monday and they all died today in their brooder. Maybe someone can help me figure out what went wrong? They were shipped eggs. They all hatched on their own and were kept in the incubator for a full 24 hours. Here is where I may...

    Turn Out Lights on Week Old?

    New to raising chickens so very thankful that a community like this exists. I have 4 chicks that will be a week old tomorrow. I have them in a cage in my garage with a heat source.

    I have a straight run week old silkie with its vent swollen quite large. I haven't seen the little one use the restroom and I've been watching it. Its skin is black so I cant tell if its irritated because it cant redden. I checked on the chick around 12 this afternoon and it was fine till I came...

    Can pale yellow BLRW chicks just end up as white hens?

    I hatched out some BLRW, 12 eggs, 9 hatched, 5 pale yellow, 3 mid grey and yellow, 2 grey, 1 dark grey. The pale yellow chicks feathers are coming in with no other color other than white. Are they going to develop any other color?

    Is it possible to tell the difference between male and female chicks?

    We recently got 8 new chicks from coastal, and I got one the same breed as my beloved chicken, who has sadly died from a dog attack. I got three of that breed, and I want to name one after my hen, but I can’t tell the difference yet, so is there any way to tell the gender when chicks haven’t...

So I bought an incubator that isn’t here till February 5 and I don’t know if they will sit on the eggs so I keep taking them...

    Chick Deformity?

    Yes, I've had the 'don't get the smallest weakest chick at the store' lecture, but this time I couldn't help myself. The tiny Leghorn was getting bullied. I suppose I'm paying for it now. The chick can't walk, even though she tries. After an examination of her leg, I noticed that her hock was...

    Clueless on the tylan-50 dosage on CHICKS

    Hello, Firt time writer, long time reader! My sister is caring ffa broilers. We had these chicks for a week. Bit earlier in the week I noticed a lot of sneezing. I dismissed it assuming it was due to the crumble getting into their nostrils. Unfortunately, I think I'm wrong. They are sneezing...
