sick chick

Hi, I have a 5 day old chick. The chick has pasty butt and every time I wash its vent off it becomes clogged again. I've heard that apple cider vinegar helps with this, but you're supposed to put it in the chicks water and I already have Corid in my chicks water. Is it ok to have both Corid and...

I've had this happen to one chicken before. It killed her. It's like a huge growth/abscess where the crop/breast is. Also, when she bends over to drink liquid seems to come out of her mouth. I separated her from the rest of the flock, and then gave her electrolytes, water, and food. It's hot...

Hello. I'm new to raising chicks and need some help. We have 5 baby chicks that are about a week and a half old or so. One of them is much larger than the rest and has a full crop. I have been giving olive oil, massaging crop, giving yogurt, probiotics, etc. I can't seem to get the poor...

So I brought in my new two tiny Brahma chicks as the hens kept blocking them in a corner of the chick area, which left them a little dehydrated and caused pasty butt to start up. Last night I scooped up both and brought them inside. washed their butts, got my electrolyte/vitamins powder I had...

I have a silkie chick I got from tractor supply Monday and I noticed today it’s been standing in one spot head down. It doesn’t run when I pick it up but it does get lively and wants back on the ground. It doesn’t lay down either.

I have a silkie chick I got from tractor supply Monday and I noticed today it’s been standing in one spot head down. It doesn’t run when I pick it up but it does get lively and want back down on the ground.

I've recently purchased 12 chicks and while 11 of them are healthy and lively, one of them (small ameraucana) has been noticibly lethargic and wouldn't move from her spot under the heat lamp. Since she was being stepped on, I isolated her in a separate tote and put some electrolyte and probiotic...

Hi Everyone, I’m new to posting but have been reading your threads for weeks, preparing for my first flock of 8 chicks. One died in the mail, which was heartbreaking, and I’m not sure if I’m being hyper sensitive about the others out of fear of losing another. PLEASE- any advice you have would...

Hello all, today I noticed one of my chicks I hatched late last week is very lethargic. I checked to find his abdomen coated in.. I dont know what. He seemed lethargic a few days ago, but after a nap he was up and eating and drinking, and I noticed the naval area had a scab looking thing. I...

my 2.5 week old polish chick is opening and closing its mouth. Is this a good medicine regime? Tylan-oral Multivitamin Paracetamol Or Amoxicillin or any other antibiotic? I’m really worried.

recently we hatched chicks via incubator and also under a mother chicken. Since then we have put them all together in the one pen and there has been no issues. About a week ago one of the chicks wasn’t walking so we took her out and had her in a separate cage. We read that she may have a...
