chick 1 month

My children found a baby chick on your porch. I'm assuming one of our cats brought it home. It does have a scratch, but it's scabbed. The baby is eating, drinking, and will not accept being alone. We already have flock raiser from having ducks and will get medicated food. I'm just wondering what...

I got Chicks-bantam from tractor supply for a dollar each because they are "old" at 3-4 weeks. They could not tell me the breeds though. Can somebody tell me the breed of these two Chicks? Thanks so much! Jennifer

Only 1 month old so too young to really have any certainty, esp w/ no comb development. However have noticed some distinct differences in feathering - especially 3 being covered already and 1 and 2 still being mostly fluffy down. Would this make 3 likely to be a pullet? Any speculation on all of...

hi last two days i had two of my little chicks doing like this clip just looking weak and mostly just standing eyes closed and gasping like this like there is something stuck in their throat both of them died i gave this one some yogurt and olive oil i forced him to eat some and i massage...

Hello! I have a black copper maran chick that is around a month old and I am curious to know why she has some white on her chest. I have heard that some chicks get white in the feathers and it goes away at the juvenile molt but this seems different since it is also on her chest. She also has...

Purchased at TSC about a month ago and one of them seems slightly different and lighter in color , different markings around eyes as well. Is it a roo? Or is it maybe a Plymouth Rock ? I included many photos from over the past month. You will see the one that I suspect is a roo or not a...

I have 10 chicks that are 3.5 weeks old. They'll be 1 month old on the 20th. They are all vaccinated for coccidiosis, and we're on medicated starter for just over a week. Since then they've been eating all flock. This morning I noticed quite a few poops with blood in them. Do you think it's...

I’m going to go pick up some pullet Easter eggers (pictured are more than Easter eggers but I’m wondering in case I get a couple of the other ones), does anyone see any obvious cockerels? I think I just see one but wanted to confirm here! Thanks everyone!

Hello, it's my first time signing up on this forum, and I came here hoping to get help. My 5 week old reed flower chick was always super lively and had a normal beak. After we let them run around with the other chicks outside today, my dad noticed that its beak seemed to not be aligning as it...

Chick starter is getting hard to come by where I live and more expensive. We have a flock of many chicks, 11 keets, and 2 goslings. My question is has anyone on here successfully fed layer feed to chicks and/or keets and/or goslings with supplements? We have started fermenting are feed to help...

Me and my family own many chicks as well as some keets and goslings, ranging from a few months old to as young as ~1 week. Chick and Gamebird starter is becoming scarce where we are and we need a back up option for feeding are flock or we will have to cull birds we didn't want to. Help is...

A couple weeks ago, I "rescued" some 2ish week old chicks from my local feed store. These poor babies seemed to be the rejects due to one reason or another (having been picked on terribly, very small/poor feathering for their ages, and all with terrible pasty bum). I couldn't bare to see them...

I have one speckled pullet and I’m not sure what breed she could possibly be … any ideas? For just having got her three days ago she’s very friendly and settled in quickly.

The rarest and most sought after chicken breed on the planet! Our GreenFire Farms Ayam Cemani bloodline, that we sell, were first imported into the US and featured on Time Magazine in 2014 wearing million dollar jewelry. Ayam Cemani originate in Indonesia and are known to have black feathers...

Hi, my almost 4 week old chicks are fighting, as all chicks. What I observed is that some of the chicks are fighting by jumping with both feet forward, while others do not. Can I sex the chicks with this? I think only males fight with both feet forwards, is that right? Hope someone can help...

My 2 Chicks lived in a cage in the kitchen. When day were 30 days old. I sent them upstairs to the roof. There was no light at night. After one day. He/She went blind and sat on the food all day and moved slowly and the other one was fine and jumped and he/she could jump to a chair. I got them a...

Unfortunately, Cinnamon passed away. I had her cremated and am waiting on the ashes. Attached is a picture I drew of her being greeted by my late rabbit at the rainbow bridge. We tried our best but I’m afraid she failed to thrive. Our other three chicks have grown a LOT! The two barred babies...
