    3 month old hen wheezing and sneezing with 1 green crusty bubbly eye

    Hi! We have dealt with corzya in the past so I already know that isn't it. My baby chicken has been wheezing, 'rattling' and sneezing for about 2 months now. Today I noticed one of her eyes is swollen, has green and yellow crust around it and bubbles coming from the inner corner. No smell. She's...

    2 chicks down & I’m worried about the rest! Help!

    Yesterday, we received 6 baby chicks from Meyer hatchery. Yesterday afternoon I noticed one of the chicks acting very lethargic. I made sure she was getting water and hand fed her some growgel and yolk. She resisted everything. She wasn’t able to stand up on her own. Then, she started cheeping...

    Baby chick with broken wing?

    I had a set of barnyard mix eggs hatch out yesterday. One of the chicks had a large egg and managed to pip internally, but not externally. I have experience hatching and raising chicks, so I helped it out by giving her an air hole and time. She ended up getting stuck anyway, and I had to do help...

    Struggling baby chick

    Cinnamon, one of my speckled sussex babies, seemed odd when we brought her home. The other three chicks would be running around, but Cinnamon just flopped over to sleep. At first we just joked about her being lazy, but after a couple days I realized something was wrong with her. I checked and...

    Coccidiosis?

    We finally found a few chicks to keep my lone Brahma chick company (the guy the batch was hatched for didn’t want it because it ended up being splash); 4 2-3 week old buff Orpington chicks that are just a little younger than my Brahma, 3 of which look to be hens :fl. We brought them home, they...

    Small lethargic 12 week old cream legbar

    So I got a few chicks from my local feed store 12 weeks ago. (I already had 4 three year old hens) All are doing great except for 1.

I also have 1 week old serama chicks I am treating and they all seem to be doing fantastic! I have 6 polish chicks ranging from 3-5 weeks. My...

    Approx 1 week old Silver Laced Polish chick. Seems to have difficulty balancing when walking. Mostly lays on one side partially, sits on hocks when heating and drinking. Also seems to have stalled in feather development. Its brooder mate (a crested cream legbar) of similar age is much further...

    I have a strong feeling the speckled Sussex chicks from where we got them are somewhat not doing well as other breeds. I lost one due to my faults and hubby didn’t want to see me suffer emotionally so he got home yesterday’s afternoon with another chick. Immediately, I’ve noticed she was very...
