    strange chick

    I have a young day old chick who is acting very odd it's head keeps bobbing around. We had to get it out of the incubator early because it fell down the side and got stuck, does this chick have brain damage from the fall or are they sometimes born like this.

    Day old leg/foot injury, splay leg doubted.

    I asked about this in my local thread and got great responses but after looking at treatments and having time to examine the chick more, I think it may be something else.

    Day old silkie chick wry neck

    I've had a batch of eggs underneath a broody that have hatched over the weekend. This silkie chick was in her egg for a while from pip to hatch, and was the last to hatch. She has quite a bad wry neck, and I've seperated her from the broody, as I found her this morning on her own on her back...

    Just got my new day old Muscovy!

    She is so precious! I know they get lonely and the general recommendation is to get 2+ birds, but I have a lot of time at home and don’t leave home much so I got one to love & to cherish.

    Feather Sexing Chicks - Calling all Experts

    I've never started a thread before so bear with me. I would like this thread to be one where folks can post pics of their chicks' feathers for the purpose of feather sexing. Just like the other "What Breed Or Gender is This?" threads, but dedicated just to feather sexing of the day old (or so)...
