chicks 3 weeks

Hi I'm Jacque, I've cared for grown chickens, but I've never raised chicks of my own. This fall I took the plunge and am finishing up my chicken coop and run. Coops just about ready for my chicks. My chicks are in a brooder in my house, warm and comfy. They are 3 1/2 week and 1 1/2 weeks old...

I’ve got seven chicks in the brooder this spring, mostly breeds I haven’t had before. My one Salmon Faverolle girl is so far very skittish and not a fan of being handled. She also tends to shriek a lot when the other chicks get rowdy. However—one really interesting thing I noticed last night...

One of my chicks had developed a new issue. Tomorrow they will be exactly 3 weeks old. I noticed my largest girl stretch her neck out and gape. This started Yesterday evening. I also noticed that She shakes her head and sneezes. Now luckily none of my other chicks have this issue its just her...

Took the chicks out of the brooder today for some time in the run. At 3 weeks, they immediately went into dust bath mode. It’s 86 here today so I thought they would enjoy some sun and sand in the run. I guess I was right. After a couple of hours, they huddled up for some dream time so I took...

Hi all. So I picked up a few more chicks a couple weeks ago and within a few days, we noticed one of the EE babies has scissor beak. At first it wasn’t so bad, she was able to eat and drink just fine with the others. Recently we had to switch to a wet mash and a dropper because of the severity...

3 week old update!

I’ve got three week old chicks. They’ve got a brinsea brooder plate and have used it really well. The past few days I’ve noticed they don’t go under there very much and it’s at the highest height as their brahmas and are getting quite leggy 😂 I’ve just checked them now and they’re snuggled...

Hi I just recently got more chicks, they are a few weeks old and I have noticed when they eat they seem to gag as if they are choking. I've never noticed it in my older chicks in the past few years I've raised them. Should I be worried or is this normal from over eating or something else?

No silver hackles yet, but everything comes with time

3 weeks old and they just keep growin'

Got 3 Leghorns at Tractor supply. They are 3 weeks old. Other two are white. Maybe red or mottled

I k ow it is way too early but I can’t help myself. I have two Easter egger chicks. The first one “egg” sprouted pointy tail feathers first and appears to have a single combs so I think she is a female. The second one”bumblebee “ has thicker legs, still a fluffy bum and the prettiest markings so...

I’m pretty sure Lady Bawkington is an ameraucana but since I’m eyeballing google images does anyone with more experience want to chime in?

Hello all! My chicks are a little over 3 weeks old and are almost fully feathered and MY GOD have they grown so fast in such a short amount of time. They have a lovely chicken coop and run just waiting for their arrival outside, which at the moment became my dogs new playground. They are getting...

Hi! I’m a returning member. We just built the new coop at our new house and got 6 chicks. They are 3 Auracanas, and 3 Buff Orpington. I’d say they are about 3 weeks old. we live in San Diego, California in an unincorporated area and we have a pet potbelly pig and 3 dogs. The chicks have a...

These are my cuckoo Marans about 2-3 weeks old any guesses on gender?

Hi, we have some 2 year old chickens and adding to the flock this year. Anyone up for some guesses to male vs female? Will post photos of the newest members individually below... currently 3 weeks old

i didn’t not know when my husband suggested incubating at all what I was getting myself into. It’s been a lovely but sometimes heartbreaking experience and not sure if that’s quite ended but I do love these little birds. Out of 12 mixed eggs (that was my first mistake maybe) I got a CCL...

Hello, my babies are between 3 to 4 weeks. They are silkies! I was wondering how I could get them more tame, I talk to them and they talk back, when they hear me they beep A lot. I was wondering if it’s where they are so young, is why they are still skittish. When I hold them, they are so sweet...
