Hi everyone! 👋
I just bought an incubator last night from my local TSC, and I have no idea where to put it! My living room and kitchen is attached and there are lots of windows that light up my space. It is a very small house with no basement or spare bedroom, so I don't really have an area...
I am currently hatching some chicks and I noticed that this one was a little different. This chick has a red vein? Lassoed around its foot which does not allow it to walk properly. It is a newly hatched chick. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to do and what it is! Thank you so much!!!
I just got some silkie chicks yesterday. This little one's foot seems to be folded and is causing her to stumble some when she walks. She seems to be perfectly fine aside from this, eating, drinking, and following her siblings around. The leg seems to be ok as well. It supports her weight. But...
These are my new chicks. I’m not sure how old. I’m guessing between 1 week and 2?
I’m not sure what some of them are. We are supposed to have 2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 White Leghorns, 2 Amberlinks, and 1 Barred Rock, but I’m not sure about the other 3.
The two reds are Thelma and Louise
The two...
Hi guys. My chick who has a slipped tendon has been especially sleepy lately and as we were putting him in a sock for therapy I noticed he was shaking his head a lot. He also fell asleep like this
When I touched him he woke up and started eating again. I thought maybe the sleepiness was from...
My 2 months old rooster has been drooping intestinal shed a lot. He is eating and drinking water. Water is coming out of his peck when drinking water which I'm confused if its normal. He has red parts in his feet. Today in the morning was the first time I've heard him roasting. He is very active...
Hi, I have a 3 weeks old chick and water will come out of her mouth, and when she chirps it sound weird, if as something was blocking her way. She also has a lump kinds close to her throat (not talking about her crop).
This is my second set of Backyard Barnyard chick perches. I use them as sanitary perches in the brooder. Easy-to-clean, rounded & sanded wood, made in the USA.
My chicks can't poop on each other while sitting on these. The triangle/triple perch setup isn't as stable, either, as chicks grow.
My...
Hey everyone, I have just recently hatched some chicks. My rooster is a male sizzle and my hens are barred rock. I was told the outcome would be chicks that are sex linked, males would have white spots on the head and females will just be black with no markings. I was planning on selling these...
Hi! My beautifull black copper maran baby is now 2 weeks old and I really want to know the gender. However he (I always say he😜) shows signs of Both genders, like he has no comb at all but also no tail and pretty short feathers. I know it normally takes longer by black copper maran chicks to see...
Hi
My little chicks are my furry (feathery) babies 🥰
Soon I can take them outside for few hours/minutes a day. I’m worry they will get red mites, lice or worms 🤦♀️
What products should I use before taking them outside?
I started using Vern-X pellets. Just a little a bit once a month. They...

Hello! We recently got 8 chicks from tractor supply to repopulate our adult flock. I'm just wondering when they will be old enough to be released into the free ranging flock of adult birds, including roosters and turkeys. Also, can we feed them insects we catch from outdoors, or will this make...
Hi,
I have a lot of cute stories of my chickens but the one that stands out the most is the story of my Black Ameraucana rooster, named Dotty. So, It was evening time so we went outside to close the chickens in. We had already closed in all of the coops except for the "Big Old Coop" as we...
Chick just hatched and looked healthy during the hatching period but came out with some yellow goop. I’m not sure if it has yolk sac infection or not and have no clue what to do to help.
