We just got our chicks today from MM and some are hamburgs. One of the hamburgs isn't looking good at all. She is always sleeping and gets up a little bit and isn't really chirping like the others. Hmm. . .

Quote: thanks for the idea! Will go do that now. have them all over the house haha

Quote: Yup, thats what we did with the food. Yup all pooping normally, checked all for pasty butt. Great idea re: feather duster

Quote: exactly, i'm way confused. . they aren't even going under the heat lamp which is at 95 degrees. They are running around and hanging out like any other chicks we've raised. They are just REALLY loud.

I've done this a few times ( raising chicks that is) I have a red-heat lamp on them an I gave them gro-gel when they arrived they have food & water and are eating non-stop & pooping normally, temperatures 95 degrees! Any other suggestions?

Hi, We have 30 chicks, 5 japanese bantams, and several standards. We just recieved them today from Murray Mcmurray (spelling?) We had to seperate the Japanese bantams from the others. The Japanese bantams are being EXTREMELY loud it's making my ears ring. I have raised chicks about 6 times...

Our chicks arrived early this morning! ! !

My chick had yellow mustard colored poop.. is this normal or anything to worry about? They are 1 week old.

I've had silkies and never had one look like that, it's not a silkie (I don't think)

Hi, Everything was going great with my 6&7 day old chicks... then I noticed that one of my chicks was sleeping a lot.. (was still running around,flying chirping).. So I picked him/her up and saw 2 big clumps of poop on its bottom. I don't know if it is really pasty butt because it wasn't...

chickensducks&agoose : We dyed our chicks to tell them apart.. like Yellow chick with blue head dot... or yellow chick with NO dot... or yellow chick with left wing dot.... How did you dye them? I would love to know.

Quote: I'm so sorry! When they start cheeping in such distress usually there is something wrong and sometimes its hard to figure it out... then it's just to late. At-least you tried and thats all you can ask for!

What kind of bantams are they?? Post pics!!!!
