    Small chick with disproportionately tiny, malformed wings…anyone else experience this?

    We picked up 6 Black Copper Maran chicks and 3 light Brahmas over the weekend. They are probably 5 days old now. One of the BCM is very small, which is becoming more apparent as the other chicks are already putting on size. Her wings are disproportionately small compared to her body size and...

    Weak duckling wobbling head

    3 Newly Bought Chicks Sick with Overlapping Symptoms - Help?

    So Saturday May 8th I bought 4 chicks from a local farm that seemed to have their s*** together. On Sunday May 9th, one of them took sick. The farmer insisted that it was "sour crop" while giving me instructions for clearing an *impacted* crop and she told me it was because of the feed I fed...

    Skin Inflamed

    Hi, I've got a two week old flock of 6 hen chicks (salmon favorelle, orpington, EE, and Polish). All of them are thriving well. But, the two Salmon Favorelles--particularly-- have red inflamed skin and I'm not sure if they are responding to too much heat or pecking from another chick. I've...

    Chick with white eyes?

    I was just given a chick from a relative who they said it was sick, the chick has cream white eyes, isn’t responding to noise, very small, thin legs and has odd feathers??

    Sick chick?

    This chick has been acting off for a few weeks now. Always sleepy. Usually by it self. Has a slightly curved beak eats fine drinks fine. It’s eyes just look weird to me and the behavior is odd. I’ve treated for coccidia as precaution but still the same. No signs of respiratory.
