Hi everyone - I'm brand new to all of this and we got some baby chicks only a few days ago. They all currently ranging in ages between 4 or 5 days old and about 10 days old. They were all fine and active, but one of the youngest ones (about 5 days old now) suddenly rapidly declined in the last...

This morning I found a dropping from one of my three baby chicks. Not sure if its intestinal lining and I don't know who did it but 2 of my baby chicks make a month in a few days and the youngest one is about 1-2 weeks old. I have the 2 on medicated feed that has the amprolium in it since they...
Hello,
This will be long but I hope you all will bare with me. I have a one month old chick (just made one month on November 13th) and she's been doing really well during her first weeks til now since we have been raising her. Just recently she had an injury when my mom was bringing her in the...
Hey, my dad hatched these new baby chicks 6-7 weeks ago and recently placed them outside....4-5 days ago.
They usually run up to my hand or run around their cage, but this one little chick started laying around.
Sometimes I find her sitting in the sun or in the shade. She doesn't walk very...
Hey there, I would really appreciate some input on this! I've got an 8 week old Welsummer cockerel (Bob, formerly Amelia), bought as a "pullet" from a local breeder. Grew at slower pace than the others, but after his comb emerged, I assumed it might be a breed trait for cockerels? I was letting...
I treated my young chicks and guineas for cocci as I lost 2 and noticed the symptoms. Everyone perked up and then the other day I noticed dirty vent on a young pullet (most turned out to be roosters). I really want to save her. I have isolated, washed the area with warm water and dettol mix...
New chick mommy here ♀️
Recently acquired our starter flock of rainbow chicks (the breed, not dyed chicks) about 2 weeks ago. Made the bad new Mom mistake of running up to the feed store and purchasing a single chick to replace my son’s favorite who the cat got, and just placing her with the...
Hello, I am new to chickens and am hoping to get 2 Rhode Island Red Hens as well as 2 Buckeye Hens. I am wondering what Coccidiosis is and what it does to chicks. The chickens would be a day old when I get them and I'm also wondering about starter feed? Help!!
Last week I noticed one of my 5 week old hatchery chicks had a bloody poop. She looked as if she felt bad, fluffed up and sleepy. I immediately thought of coccidiosis from reading this forum. I searched the site for treatment plans and had exactly 45 minutes to make it to the farm store to...
I received these 4 month old chicks after a 4 hour road trip from Lahore to Islamabad.
When I received them, there was blood in the stool. On inquiring from the person who sent them, he said the chicks were never sick in the first place and that this is coccidiosis and that he will return the...
We found a baby chick around 6 weeks back lying on the road and brought her back home. She (her name is Tooki) might be of the broiler breed. Not sure. But now for the past 5 days she has suddenly gotten very sick and stopped moving around. We had purchased a baby chick (Brownie) so that Tooki...
Hi everyone! We have 12 chicks that are about 4 weeks old. We hatched them ourselves and purchased the eggs from reputable local breeders. All are doing really well - happy and healthy except for one. About 10 days ago we found her huddled under the heat lamp with eyes closed and feathers...
I just got four - 4 week old chicks last week. 2 - Cream Crested Legbars, 1 - Olive Egger and 1 Welbar. When I got the chicks home I did notice one chick (one of the CCL's) was smaller but thought maybe it was just younger. Now 1 week has gone by and it really doesn't seem like this chick is...
I received 17 chicks from Cackle on Friday and they all arrived healthy and active. On Sunday I noticed one black copper maran chick acting listless, with a pasty butt. I cleaned her up and have been feeding her Corid with a dropper but there has been no improvement. She won't eat and she has...
My 2 year old hen just had 5 chicks with a high mortality rate...
The newborn chick symptoms all came within a day or two of the chicks hatching:
- General weakness, tiredness, dozing off, low energy, limpness, closed eyes
- inability or lack of desire to eat / drink
- consistent yawn-like...
My 5 week old barred rock pullet died in my arms today and I have no idea why.
I had treated them for coccidiosis about 2-3 weeks ago when I found a bloody poop, but they were all running around and healthy. They have been happily running around, eyes bright and I have been putting them outside...
