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...
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...
Hi all!
I am hoping to get so wisdom on what to do with a 6 day old chick with a swollen vent. Google has been no help and I’ve never dealt with this.
This chick had mild pasty butt develop less than 24 hrs after I brought her home that I easily treated for 2 days with warm compresses...

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me. I have two beautiful week and a half year old Silkie chicks. They eat and drink well, get along well and sleep well. One of them does this strange thing with her head where occasionally she sways it side to side like a snake. This is sometimes...
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...
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?
If this isn’t allowed here, feel free to remove and such, I’m not really sure where to post this.
I have some barnyard mixes that I’d like to sell! They are 4 days old. Straight run. Barred Rock / Jersey Giant mixes. We also have two 5 - 6 week young friendly roosters available as well. Pick up...
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...
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.😊
Hey ! So I recently ordered 2 female Pekin ducks and 4 Rhode Island White hens, I was wondering when I would be able to bring them out? They’re 1 week old right now. Not move them outside permanently, but to just feel the grass and see the outside world haha. I would put them in a small fenced...
My cat injured a 1 week old chick. Her back has a chunk torn out of it and she's bleeding. What can I do to save her? She's peeping and still alert. Help!
Help!
New member here! We are raising our first chicks, and there is a steep learning curve. We started out with a heat lamp, but now after reading about the fire danger and behaviorial issues I want to swap to a heating pad. I have one that can stay on constantly, and I have read about how to...
She (or he) is currently ~1 week old with a single comb, dark spot on head, patterned wings, and non-feathered legs. I bought a Golden Sex Link at Lee’s, but I believe I received something else... Any ideas?
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...
