HELP!
I came home from work today and my husband said that almost all of our recently hatched(almost 2 weeks old), chicks are dead. I immediately went to separate and give them fresh water and food while my husband cleaned everything. Three have started to be super lethargic, won't hold their...
hello. This morning I discovered one of my quail chicks with its eyes closed and curled up in the heat lamp, it seems not interested in eating or drinking. I am worried that it will infect my other chicks so I made a preparation in medicine water (I will attach a photo of what it contains) and I...

Hi I am new to this site and to chickens. I have done a couple years of research and prep and finally convinced my husband we should get chickies. I have 8 currently. I think they are doing good but I think I am just anxious for things to go well. I have one that keeps sneezing but no other...
Hey everyone,
Any info would be really appreciated, we really love our Lemon already :( She is about 2 weeks old, and hasn’t grown like the other chicks. Well not at all, really!

Hi all -
Last week I had 13 out of 14 chickens die from Coccidiosis. They were on day 4 of 5 of treatment with 9.6mls of Corid in 1 gallon, but unfortunately I had also been supplementing with electrolytes & vitamins, and did not find out until after that you should NOT supplement vitamins...

Hi Everyone!
We brought home pullets 4 years ago and have enjoyed the experience without much drama or challenges. We've decided to grow the family and just brought home two little baby chicks and are quickly realizing, they need A LOT more specialized care than our pullets did! They are so dang...
Our favorite 12 day old chick started twitching/shaking her head often, seemingly uncontrollably. She’s been the alpha of the brooder since day one and loves her cuddle time. I recognize there is a fair amount of chaos in the house during this video clip so it could be nerves, but that’s not...
