We have seven, 7-week chicks in a pen outdoors that they can come out in the yard where the 7 four-month-old chickens are nearby free-ranging. It's touch and go as the old ones watch the smaller ones and if one gets too close, they get a peck. The older ones have a nice growout coop I'd like...

Wouldn't this be in your coop? I'm wondering why you're concerned about predators as there shouldn't be any way one can get in our coops. The other thing is it seems so expensive, but I see what you're seeing for convenience, and those would be nice. Here in WI though in the winter, I'm sure...

53F. That was about as high as it got, and it rained most of the day. The sun will come out tomorrow...hey, a song! It'll be 68!

Giving electrolytes is good. I would also alternate some probiotic water in there, like Hydro-Hen, Save A Chick, etc., or sugar free yogurt is good. Get the Greek if you have to buy any for her as that's one of the highest probiotic yogurts. That would help any vent gleet remaining and also...

Every TSC is operated by different management so what one store does isn't what they all do. You'd have to ask them and I would think they'd work a deal out with you since this was their mistake. But again, that's what ours would do.

Thank you! ❤️ And thanks, everyone! :hugs

I would check her for mites. I'm not saying those aren't worms, but what they're doing seems more like mites. For mites, most use Permethrin powder all over on the chicken and all over in the coop. Repeat in 10 days. For worms, see this post by one of our experts...

It looks like she has an eye or sinus infection. I would try rinsing it with a saline solution and putting Terramycin in her eye. That's an antibiotic intended for eyes. If it's got puss in there when you look though, first I'd try get that out. I'd keep a close watch on her that other...

Hiya, Debi, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Be sure to stop in our Learning Center if you want to learn about anything, or just ask!!

Make some mash out of their crumbles and put some in your hand. They should jump all over themselves to get at it.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow BYC has a plethora of information but if you ever can't find your answer, just find the forum and post!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Great intro! Glad you're here!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow Love your intro! Good luck with your new chicks!!

Yes, they can. Sugarfree Greek Yogurt is the best one.

Hiya, Sissy, and welcome to BYC!! :frow That's awesome you're rescuing chickens. We have a lot of rescues around here too!

I have one that acts like that when she's molting, and unfortunately, she molts for about half a year. We'd swear she was drunk as she runs a ways, then plops down and just sits there. Is there any chance she's going to start molting? The yellow poo could be a cecal, but also can be...

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!! :frow I'd suggest you put your location in your profile so folks know where you are. You can find your state or country here, then post in the one where you are and might get someone that way...

At 1 week old or less, they should be at 95F. Then next week, 90F. So I think you've got a couple of weeks to figure out ways to keep them cooler as I wouldn't now unless it gets hotter than 95 there!

Thank you so much! ❤️ I'm surely blushing now.
