one chick

  1. C

    Only 1 chick survived the hatch. Started with 9. 7 were alive day 21 (yesterday). All but 1 does. What in the world happened? I seriously might cry.

    We started with 9 eggs. 1 was infertile. 1 developed a blood ring in week 2. 4 hatched yesterday. 3 died. 3 eggs remained this morning. I came to check on them an hour afternlast check (didn’t touch, just listened) and they were all dead. No peeping, no movement, nothing. My broody then started...

    URGENT! Please help

    I had 9 chicks and lost 2 in early stages and then one hatched a few days ago (day 18) but no others did. Today was day 21 and none had still hatched. My neighbor who has hatched chicks told me to check them with a flashlight again so we did just now and saw no movement in any of them. The one...

    Day 21, one chick hatched yesterday. No pips on remaining eggs.

    So I'm worried about the first chick being in there for a long time with no other chicks. If they hatch today, she will have to spend another day in the incubator as I won't want to open the lid while others are pipping, and she's already been in there for 24 hours! All chicks are silkie...

    One of my hens hatched an egg and I took the chick to raise because my coop is not set up for little ones, but I can’t be around the chick all the time and I’d like to try to find some ways to help entertain her while I’m away. I’d get her some siblings if I could, but finding a couple two day...

    Baby chick not drinking? Help!

    hello. I’m new here, I still don’t really understand this website but I need help with my chick. He’s two days old now his yolk should be digested by now right? He’s eating, walking, pooping, and peeping like a normal chick would. But he’s refusing to drink water. I put his beak in the water and...

    lonely chick.

    Hatched today. Baby chick, only one of three eggs. Other two should be hatching within a week. I haven't incubated chicks in a year. This one was incubated and hatch. He's lonely and , like all chicks, cries - chirps. A whole lot. He's in the homemade brooder. Chirping away, when I talk to...

    Broody with single chick, seems to be ignoring it, advice needed!

    Hi, here's my situation. I have three young hybrids (bought in June as POL, started laying within a week). They live in an Omlet cube in a 5x2metre walk in run with some free-ranging in our garden (we're in Scotland btw). One went broody in July and stayed that way while we were away for a week...
