    Breed and sex guesses

    My Jersey went broody and I got her eggs to hatch. She is such a good mama. Pictures are her 4 babies- 5 days old today (4/18/21). Eggs came from roosters that could give the gene for blue copper marans. Mom could be golden, red, or silver wyandotte, barred rock or black astrolorps. Any idea...

    Constipated Chick?

    I have a week old chick that I believe is constipated. It all started with me thinking she may be starting to get a prolapsed vent, but as I was treating her swollen vet as a prolapsed vent, I noticed she was struggling to have a bowel movement. She was straining while I was doing a warm epsom...

    Different feathers mean different gender?

    I know it’s super early to tell but I was curious. We have two sex link chicks and they are almost a week old. Phoenix is a little bigger than Inferno and the feathers are different. Does that matter that the feathers are different or could they both still be hens? The first photo is Phoenix and...

    I need answers, my chick seized, & died😭.

    My project chick started having seizures a couple hours after we cleaned the brooder. She was perfectly fine way before we done anything. Was running around all happy, eating, drinking, & pooping. What would cause this to happen so suddenly?

    Should I give grit?

    Hey so I’m getting my day old chicks on Wednesday, I’ve done some research on whether to give grit or not. Some articles said that while I’m giving them chick starter, it desolves in water so they don’t need it yet. But some say to buy it just in case. I know once they start eating bugs, seeds...

    What breed is this gray hen chick?

    We got this little gray girl on May 19, 2020 from Murray McMurray Hatchery in a group of assorted layers. Can anybody help me identify her breed? These pics were taken this morning, 05/ 21/2020. She is about 3 to 5 days old. It looks like her legs might be turning gray. Thank you.😊

    Hello! I just adopted 5 chicks and one has pasty butt. Only the one has it so far and I've had the chicks about 5 hours. I read that they may need additional grit with there food to aid digestion. I did some research and repeatedly saw cornmeal being fed to chicks in place of store bought grit...
