    Baby chick very active but not eating

    I picked up my chicks yesterday and the little salmon faverolle was by far the most active and adventurous. But she just won't eat or drink. No vision problems but refused to drink from the chick waterer--would dip her beak in but not drink - and I have yet to see her take more than one bite of...

    Chick with stringy poop?

    hello! I have a week old silkie who’s poop looks like a worm. Just a single strand. I have had other chickens and know it’s not normal but can’t find any explanation. She doesn’t have pasty butt. What do you think this could be?

    Sick Chick

    We recently hatched two buff orpington chicks. One we called Kelloggs and the other Cornflake (apologies for the terrible names) Kelloggs sadly died due to the fact he ate something too big for him and it got stuck in his throat. We couldn't get it out in time. The other one has been fine up...

    4 Day old Silky Chick died of symptoms similar to Coccidiosis

    I am really wondering what is the cause of a 4 day old Silky Bantam death. The symptoms are identical to Coccidiosis, however the chick has only been alive for 4 days. Doesn't coccidiosis have an incubation period that is longer than 4 days? And whats more, another chick is showing signs of...

    I have a young chicken that is about 3 months old. For about 3 days now, she’s been acting weak and it seems like she doesn’t want to move around much. The others I have around her age that she has been kept with all seem fine. She is still eating and drinking on her own, but she’s keeping her...

    Broody Hen not eating or drinking

    One of my sexlink hens has a tendency to go broody, but usually 3 days in the "broody box" - aka her own cage - snaps her out of it. This time however, she has been in isolation for 3 days and is not snapping out of it. She just lays there, won't eat or drink, and has bad diarrhea. Her comb is...

    Yesterday 5 new chicks came to my little chicken farm in Connecticut. 1 little chick arrived lethargic. We thought it was just a weak chick, and after an hour, it passed away. Today another one of our chicks is doing the same thing. Wherever we place her, she plops down and sleeps. She won’t...

    Baby chick’s health started bad but now...

    We hatched our first set of chicks 5 days ago, and one was struggling. Looked like he was gasping for air, wasn’t eating by himself. I was feeding him with a dropper. He would lay down a majority of the the time. Until today, he is eating and drinking by himself. I would say his health has...
