I checked on my 5 chicks this afternoon, only to find one dead. It’s face and upper body were wet, but the back half was completely dry. Is it possible we have a snake trying to eat the chicks? What can I do to protect them? What else could have happened to the chick?

We have 5 chicks. Let’s play

Hatched from our incubator 3 days ago. Noticed it last night. So it’s not splay leg? It mostly hops around. Doesn’t put much weight on it at all.

Our chicks hatched this morning, and they were getting fluffy, but then the 7th chick hatched and now most of them are wet again and no longer fluffy except their heads. Is the humidity too high? There’s one last chick working to hatch. I don’t want them to freeze from being too wet! Help

Y’all right. #5 is absolutely cockerel The other pictures are of #1, are we still thinking boy? Cuz the waddle and comb are no where near as red as the others

Number 5, really? I thought for sure that was a pullet 🤦‍♀️

All were born between March 29 and April 4

These babies were hatched at home. Trying to figure out how many are boys. Also on the white/red one, do you know a breed? And same question for number 7? dad was Wyandotte, moms are either red sex link, orphington, rhode island red (and orphington and barred rock/Dominique & black australorp-...

So we had a buff orphington go broody. We got her 2 chicks, she was doing great with them. It’s been about 2-3 weeks and I went to check this morning, and both were dead in the straw. With all the rain, could they have suffocated or drowned underneath momma? 😭

Hi! Our run is so muddy and flooded from all this Texas rain. The only stuff feed stores have is lava sand. Is this acceptable to use either for dust bath, or coop ground covering for the time being?
