Hi team!

[cc pine]

Happy to join! Have had chickens for 6 years. Also have 2 dwarf Nigerian goats who are friends with my 3 adult chickens (astrolorp, dominequer, leghorn). Recently lost our sweet Americana “peanut butter” due to old age. Just got 7 chicks this Saturday! Whole family is so excited. Kids are in love!!! Brabanter “Gimli”, Sussex “Arwen” and “Jelly”, Americana “peanut butter”, red star “Ciancanelli” and “Ginger”, and Wyandotte “Charm”.

Concerned with new brabanter chick due to opening and closing beak constantly. Any ideas? For more info, please see my post under emergencies. Thanks for any advice!

Greetings and welcome to BYC from NE TX! So glad you joined us. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!

May possibly be a sign of gape worms, or being overheated. I'm confident the ER folks can nail it by details and symptoms you can provide.
