    Chick not pooping and weird air sac

    Hey everyone. We had 3 chicks hatch on Tuesday from an incubator. One had a bit of shell stuck to its back and wing. A bit like a hunchbacked tortoise. It’s weaker and smaller than the other 2 chicks so I am trying to nurse it back to health. These are my fathers hobby but I do all the sad...

    Chicks suddenly dying

    So I had six Silkie chicks and they've had pasty but that won't go away. I've switched their food, given nutri-drench, and even fed them mash but nothing works. They show no other symptoms until right before they die. They start gasping for breath and eventually pass out and die. This happens...

    Pasty butt...I think. I need cures!

    Hello, I am now the owner of 5 chicks. theyre estimated about 2.5-3 weeks old. All of their little butts were fluffy until I noticed a few days ago that one of our chicks, Wynona, has what looks to be pasty butt. Wynona had previosuly been chirping loudly almost non-stop for a few days and some...

    Chick dying

    4 day old chick was fine yesterday and today was laying on its side. It had pasty butt. I cleaned it and gave it sugar water. It keeps moving its vent, but doesn’t poop. I sat it in Epsom salt water. No luck. It’s belly is so full, it can’t stand up. Any other suggestions?
