Just want to update: The chick is doing great. Here he/she is today! I

Thanks! I saw it drinking water yesterday. It seems to being doing fine. Fingers crossed!

Thank you. I hope it survives. My 6 year old is very attached.

I think it's doing well! It's walking around and drinking water on its own; it's acting like every other chick I've had.

She had plenty of food, but I don't know how long it'd been since she got down eat.

They started hatching yesterday, and I removed the other chicken from the coop, so I'm pretty sure it was the mother. She didn't look like she wanted to attack it. It was more like she was trying to clean it. I've never had a gem hatch an egg, so I could very well be wrong though.

Thank you everyone. I brought it inside & it is sleeping. The wound was getting worse, so I know y'all are right about the mom pecking it. This is my first hatch. I put food and water in its brooder, but it's not eating nor drinking. Is this normal for a newborn? All my other chicks came from...

She stopped pecking at it and looks like she's trying to care for it. The only other chick died. This is do depressing. I'll put some antibiotic ointment on it. Does anyone know what this is? Is it exposed brain?

I have a hen that just hatched a baby. The chick it chirping and feathered except the back of its head. Is this the yolk or exposed brain??? The mom is pecking at it.

Nooooo! I want babies :(

Are they more likely to go broody if they are mating?

My BO pullet started crowing :) I'd like to get a batch of chicks from him. I have two hens that are laying regularly, an EE and a Production Black. I also have 2 BR that lay once in a blue moon :( The cockerel is in a separate tractor with a CM. They are around 14-16 weeks, so I don't expect...

I have two Barred Rocks that quit laying over the winter. I got them from someone when they were hens & don't quite know the age. One appeared to go through a mini-molt about a month ago. Every couple of days I'm getting a soft-shelled egg from one of them that pretty much breaks as soon as...

I LOVE that PVC feeder. I just showed it to DH and I hope to get him started on something similar soon. How do you clean it?

I see a 25 lbs. bag for $18.00 + $19 shipping . I can spend a few extra dollars for Purina, but no way can I afford $38/25lb feed .

Chris, What do you use?

Thank you for the link, Chris. I'm glad to read that BMD has a distinctive odor. I'm looking forward to a less stinky feed.

The active ingredient is Bacitracin Methylene Disalicylate, which I was told is an antibiotic.

I see that Manna Pro and Dumor are available at TSC. Any thoughts on these?

I'm in Louisiana. I just googled Scratch and Feed, and it is not available in my area .
