    Recurring impacted crop in 8 week old chick - advice please

    I have an 8 week old chick whose crop does not empty in the mornings. I would say if it was 100% full in the evening, it empties about 30% overnight, so around 70% is still left in the mornings. I have withdrawn food overnight a few times to confirm this is what is happening. In the mornings...

    16 weeks, 1st egg

    I really thought 16 weeks was a tad early but I found a wonky, cracked open/eaten egg this morning. Shell was very soft too and partially missing. I started oyster shell 2 weeks ago. I have 3 barred rocks and 3 RIR, one barred rock looks a lot closer to laying than the others, red...

    Trying to confirm if male or female.

    I think I can tell pretty well by the feathers, but just because this is mixed with a silkie, and it's so small, I can't see the comb by the feathering, I want to be sure. The mom is a silked EE, and the dad is a Black Swedish X Americauna for melanistic gene with blue eggs. Is this a Male or...

    Wyandotte Suspects

    Out of my 14 chicks, I mostly only suspect my 4 Wyandottes of potentially being roosters. They have had the most comb and waddle growth, and I've noticed some turning red. I know Wyandottes are one of the more difficult breeds to sex. What do you guys think? ^-^ (They are 2 months old) Chick #1...

    Rooster, right? Also need help with breed identification.

    Hey all, my first post so sorry for any errors. I got my chicks on March 19th, so it’s been about 2 months. I got them from tractor supply (pullets, they said.) They were sold as two Australops, two Asia blacks. I’m posting pictures of the four chickens. I’m nearly positive the first is a...

    I'm afraid my 6-week-old chicks are eating too much dirt and grass!

    I have 3 six-week-old silkie chicks who have lived indoors all their lives, with the exception of spending a few minutes some days roaming around on the grass. A few days ago, I introduced them to their coop in the backyard. I'm afraid that with them spending all their time on the ground...

    How long does it take 8wk old chicks to get use to being in the coop?

    I have just 4 Rhode Island Reds in the new coop. They were put in there yesterday afternoon. Coming home from church I noticed it had been raining, and I really wanted any reason to check on them. I found all four huddle into a corner together on the ground. My hope was to catch them up on their...

    Chicks are 2 months old, but haven't grown. Need help!

    So 2 months ago we had bought some chicks from a flea market. The vender said they were about 1-2 days old. We got them set up with chick crumble, electrolyte water, and newspaper bedding with a heat lamp. We constantly monitored the temperature with a thermometer. They were growing fine. After...
