Very Nice. I am a first time chicken Mom. I also purchased the plans you have used, but haven't even began to start. Still looking into modifications and such to suit out needs. I only plan to have 5 -10. I started with 7, 5 died, they were all sickly. Ended up with a hen and a Roo, so I know I...

Thanks. Think I will find a poultry vet somewhere to find our for sure what I am dealing with. Appreciate you info more than you know!! 😊

Is this a Roo? Today it looked like red waddles coming In. Didn't get any pics of them today. These are from a couple of days ago. Was trying to get pics of their eye progress. This one was 100% today, completely. He/she had swollen eyes as well a week ago.

It was a small hatchery that didn't offer vaccination. I didn't realize how important it would be until I got them home. It has been a learning experience. That is for sure. Hate I lost four, I got really attached to them quickly. But I was bound and determined after losing them to save the...

This is the progress of her eyes in the last couple of days. Today they were even better. But a week ago they were swollen shut. So this is a major improvement from last week. The other Girls are 100%.

Yes I did have sick birds. I started with 7, 2 died because I over heated them, figurd the temp out. One was sneezing when we got her, was told to give them Amoxy-Tylon. Day I got the meds in she died. Then the rest started the sneezing and all, so gave started them on a round of the Amoxy-Tylon...

Oh and one is now 4 weeks, think he is a Roo, is eating, drink scratching, pecking, and pooping fine, then 2 are 6 weeks, one is fine, the other is the one that was the sickest, eyes swollen shut, diarrhea. She is alot better now, one eye is 100%, other I think will be 100% tomorrow, she is the...

I have one that puffs up when she is inside, but when she goes outside she isn't. She is eating, drinking, scratching and pecking. But it won't hurt to treat with corid, just in case. Thanks, appreciate you!!

I don't have any idea. I think it is all public. , unless I am not using the treads right. I did get one post deleted, because I guess I posted a duplicate. I am not real tech savvy. I apologize.

There are much better, since the antibiotics a for thr respiratory infection. One still has one eye that is almost to 100%. She is eating, drinking, pecking and scratching. Seem to get a little puffed up and naps, but not anywhere like she was a week ago. I think she was on the brink of death a...

Thought I did. Sorry.

4 minutes ago I have had a Rollercoaster of emotions with my first Chick's. I am wondering if this is normal poop. A little background info. Got them when they were 1-3 weeks old. Had 7, 2 died of being to hot, got that figured out, then one was sneezing when we got her, before I could get some...

Thanks this was a hard lesson, but so happy my last 3 girls are doing better. Only one eye on one girl is not 100%, but I would say 90%. No more gasping, sneezing, swollen cloudy eyes, coughing. The Baytril has knocked it out. I have definitely learned the lessons on brooding. Will try with...

Just want to give an update for anyone that may have a similar situation. I had 7 chicks. First time chick Mom. 2 died First week. Tried to keep the entire room at 90°. They were 1-3 weeks old, big mistake. Had one sneezing when we got it, was told to give her Amoxy-Tylon, but by the time the...

So, they made it through the antibiotics and started them on the electrolytes and probiotic pacs. How long do I give that to them? A couple of them have eye issues, even after the antibiotics, have been using the eye salve, starts with a T, eyes are lookingbetter everyday. Also 2 of them are...
