    Wobbly Chick, Possible Vitamin Deficiency?

    Wobble is an 8 day old unsexed white Plymouth Rock or Deleware (I ordered both and can't yet distinguish between the two). It was vaccinated for Merck's and coccidiosis. Since Wobble arrived at my house 6 days ago the poor thing has struggled with, well, wobbling. The chick is in a brooder/ICU...

    My 8-9 Day Old Ameraucana Chicks

    My 3 beautiful ameraucana babies (named Callisto, Elara, and Ganymede) are growing up so fast, and are only getting prettier by the day! They look like little hawks or eagles. They're so active and curious and are right on track to grow into healthy chickens. They enjoy each other's company...

    7 day old chick white-ish poo and chronically mess bottom

    Hi! I am new to hatching and chickens in general, but the short story is I ordered 6 hatching eggs, incubated them, and 3 were pipping right on time on day 21. Two chicks zipped and hatched beautifully, they are healthy, eating, and definitely in the toddler stage of chick shenanigans. The 3rd...

    Chick is Smaller Than Others

    Hi! I got 6 chicks the other day from TSC. There are two Ameraucanas, two silver laced Wyandottes, and two Penedesencas. One of the Penedesencas is a lot smaller than all of the other chicks and stands in the corner while the others scratch the shavings. She also seems to sleep often. We just...

    Week old chick, leg issues

    So, our "problem nugget" as the kids call her had very weak legs on hatch, there was an immediate notice about how she got around opposed to other chicks we've hatched. She wouldn't use anything below her hocks and hobbled around everywhere. She was second to hatch, first to pip. She was pipped...

    Worried about week and a half old chick

    I just got 6 chicks that are a week to week and a half. One of my D'uccle chicks, oldest of my chicks, is more lethargic than the others and does not seem to peep. She does eat and drink. Her breathing seems a little heavy to me. Not gasping for air or anything. This morning 5 of the chicks were...

    Salmon pink mucus in week old chick's poop

    Hi there, first let me apologize if this isn't an "Emergency" -- I don't know if it is or isn't so I'm being cautious. I've just brought home 3 new week old Welsummer chicks. They are eating and moving about but I have just witnessed the male poop and it looked odd. Photos below of the male's...
