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...

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.

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.

I have a 100mcg Selenium and 400UI of Vitamin E. How much of each do I give to my 6 day old chick who appears to have Wry neck?

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? when I was a young girl we raised chickens, every year we would get approximately 300 new babies. We sold the extra eggs to the local grocery store. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have just recently moved to a...

Im supposed to recieve this chicken once he/she is older. I am hoping it is a hen because I am looking for another egg layer for my backyard flock. Any thoughts on breed or gender? (Black chick in the front on the right)

Hi, I'm just wondering what offspring you get when you breed a Lavender to a blue, splash, or black because I am getting a lavender frizzle Silkie chick and I have some different color hens for him/her to breed with when him/her is older. :)...

We have 7 bantam chicks. We bought them on Thursday, so they're about 6 days old. They've been consuming magic water and medicated chick feed. Two of them are Silver Sebright, and are both a little smaller (and were weaker at the beginning), but one of those has been "off" since we got her...
