    Sleeping chicks magic spell

    I was wondering if anyone has come across any science regarding chicks releasing a hormone or enzyme while they sleep to subdue the mother? We rescued a pheasant chick from day one and hand reared her in our house (typical newbies!) One of the curious things we noticed was that whenever she...

    Cuddles!

    My little Blanche and Rose seem to be fond of each other and often sleep side by side. Yesterday I found them practically cuddling. I almost died of cute. ❤

    Exchequer Leghorn chick HALF the size of my other 6 chicks?! Due to size difference or crossbeak?

    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...

    3 day old baby chick acting weird

    I hatched out my own chickens and yesterday my little roo started acting weird. He isn't eating much and he tends to just stay under the heating lamp and sleeping. When you hold him, he peeps a bit and then sleeps. Within seconds he'll fall asleep. I hand fed him today and he's very talkative at...
