5 week old chicks

I have a 5 week old Americana pullet who suddenly started having issues breathing, she's sneezing, won't eat or drink water and she also keeps drooling. I've opened her mouth and looked down her throat and it looked open with nothing stuck. The other chicks are doing fine and seem to have no...

Hey guys! I took in this little one from a friend because it was growing up alone :( Does anyone have any ideas what breeds it could be? I've never seen a chick like it, haha. Also, any idea about hen vs. rooster? I'm guessing it's about 5.5/6 weeks old. It's maybe just a tiny bit bigger than...

My oldest are 5 weeks, my youngest are 4 weeks. They don’t seem to be using the brooder heat plate at all anymore, not even at night. When can these goofs go out to their new coop? They’re getting very bored and stuffy.

Purchased from a local farm store as barred rocks - I was thinking they're both boys due to the redness of their combs (especially Chick 1) but I wanted to double check before I looked into rehoming them. 5.5 weeks old at time of pictures being taken. Chick 1 on the left, Chick 2 on the...

Hello! It seems to be that out of the 5 RIR straight run chicks I got, 4 are most likely male, and possibly even the 5th but still hoping the 5th is a she. They are 5 weeks old. Its my first time with chickens and was hoping the ratio would have turned out to be better. Does anyone have any...

Got 5 straight run RIR chicks! They are about 5 almost 6 weeks old. Wanted to see if anyone could help me figure out which ones are male vs female. They have colored bands on their legs and one has no band. So far I believe purple is a rooster and green is a hen. Thanks!

New chick owner here, we have 4 mixed chicks that are almost 5 weeks old and are starting to worry about having a rooster due to neighbours etc. Long story short, we got given an egg at a carnival and ended up incubating it and out hatched Jazzi!! We THINK she is a salmon Faverolle? And if so...

Hello! I am new to raising chicks from the start, and when they first hatched they couldn’t eat the scratch and peck starter feed because the size of the feed. So I had to grind it up in a blender. I periodically tried reintroducing the unground feed and they want nothing to do with it… so here...

Good morning! I have chicks that are almost 5 weeks old. They are about to make their maiden voyage to the coop this next week, but I've noticed that they are wasting a majority of their food. We have the basic hanging feeder with slots but it's not hanging, it's just sitting on some bricks...

Hi guys, I’ve got two 5 1/2 weeks old spitz. The first 3 pics are from the same chick. Darker saddles, slightly bigger than the second and thicker legs. No signs of wattles development yet. Is it too early to tell? Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks! Pablo

Hello! I have my first batch of babies from a broody hen. It was an exciting experience. I have a feeling I have one Roo... but could there be more? These babies are about 5 weeks. They are a cross of olive egger and black Maran Thanks for your help! 😊

Babies that are 5 weeks old today. Mama is still broody with them and they are still sleeping in a nest box. Should I take the nest away? She brings them to ved earlier than the other chickens go to roost. If I take her nest away, is she just going to being them to a nest box that is for laying...

Hi everyone! I have a 5 week old Wyandotte and am not sure what sex it is. It is pretty and friendly but it's comb has just started turning pink. Does that mean it's a roo or is it still too early to tell? Thanks!!

Hello lovely chicken community!!! Can anyone help me identify these two birds? Not sure what breed/gender they are. All I know is that they are 5 week old Bantams. Roos or hens? 🙈 Thank you for all your help!

So I’m pondering the idea of moving my 8 baby chicks (3 RI Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Easter eggers, and 1 Buff Orpington) out back into their coop and run now! They will be 5 weeks old this Wednesday(6/24/20). In RI over the next 10 days will be average high of mid to upper 80s and lows to mid to...

Hello all! These are my 5 week old baby chicks. Their breeds are: black australorp, barred plymouth rock, rhode island red, olive easter eggers (2 grey ladies), and a golden laced wyandotte. I’m curious to see if anyone can sex them because I have no clue how to- they’re my first flock! Please...
