Hello fellow byc’ers. I am having a problem with disease, but I’m not quite sure of the exact problem. Ok, so I have some 8 wk old chicks that I’ve had since they were a few days old. The other day I noticed one was acting lethargic and puffed up and one of her wings were droopy , so I gave her...
Just popping in now, but I would never get another Welsummer. I was really excited when I originally got her, but now she is a pain in the butt. She never lets me come near her even though I socialized her well. She is broody quite often, but kills her chicks if I don't save them in time because...
I had a chick hatch with the same thing. I put hobbles on in, but it didn't help. I decided to put him down. I didn't think he would be able to support himself as he grew. best of luck to you!
Five weeks ago, I had two chicks hatch. Sadly, I had to put one down due to a dislocated hip. We bought the other chick a few friends from the farm store who were a week older. Three days ago I hatched another chick who hatched early. I moved the older chicks from the farm store outside, but...
I just candled my 9 shipped eggs from meyer hatchery and 1 of my own eggs (they are on d3) and EVERY ONE of my eggs are developing!!! Little spidery veins and a tiny embryo in every egg! Is this normal for shipped eggs?:fl:celebrate:wee:ya
I have a flock of standard sized chickens, and want to add a few silkies to the flock. Can I do this even if I have a rooster? Thanks in advance, Allie
I have Save-a-chick electrolytes in the water. The ingredients said it contains riboflavin so hopefully it helps. It is not a silkie. It is a LF barnyard mix with a Buff Orpington dad. I saw him get up and walk without curled toes for a couple of seconds so yay!
He does walk and can stand for a few seconds but then goes back to crawling. His toes are usually twisted, though. We got him some friends at the farm store and they get along great.
Well, one chick hatched before him but it had a dislocated hip, so I put it down. He was the only one left in the incubator so I decided to get him out. We are going to get him some more friends at the farm store though.
