baby chick

I know it's way to early, they are only 2 weeks old, but I would really appreciate it if anyone has a good idea or even a good guess of the gender

we just let a first time broody hen raise a batch of chicks. when i walked into the house today i saw a pile of egg shell and i looked around and saw a chick his/her yolk sac (i’m guessing that’s what it’s called…?) was popped a bit and his eyes shut he is a bit weak and can’t hold his head up...

My almost 3 year old accidentally held the poor little chick too hard. This happened while I was taking care of pasty butts of three other little ones right next to her. As I look over I discovered that the chick was almost limp. I immediately removed the chick out of her hand and checked if...

I have 7 week old chicks, we live in Maine and the temps outside are now around 50-60 degrees F during the day and around 40 degrees F at night. Is this a safe temp to move them outside? The are fully feathered and we tested some time outside today. When I went outside to check on them before...

Hi All! I recently brought home this ADORABLE silkie chick from TSC 4 days ago. I’m completely in love with its colors. I’m not new to raising chickens, however somewhat novice with Silkies. Only had a couple throughout the years. I was hoping my fellow Silkie Lover Community could shed some...

My baby chick named hope is about 5 days old I think? Her mother has been sitting on her warming her for 2 full days already, I think it's legs are like I don't know how to say it, like crossed I have never had baby chicks but I dont think that's how the leg is supposed to be like, but it's not...

Advice please! We're currently looking after a 7 day old chick that hatched with a twisted foot. At 2 days old we noticed her foot and tried to make a little splint booty for it which helped her. She has been hopping on her good foot and sometimes using the elbow part of the bad leg to hobble...

I need help, one of my baby chicks is missing its back toe. What can I do? Is it going to survive? I can provide photo if necessary. The chick was born this way. I just somehow didn’t notice until now, it is about 1 week old ish? Maybe less.

I have 13 pullets and I feed them natures wise starter grower, medicated. Yesterday one of my pullets had eaten so much that it’s pouch was almost at its beak when standing. I sadly don’t have pictures of it right now. The pullet is still alive. But that begs the question, can baby chicks over...

Hello everyone! I have 4 week old chicks. Please excuse the messy floor from the brooder. I’m getting used to their sounds and differentiating them. I’m very clear on the HELP sound. I took a video of some of the current sounds and there’s one that I’m not sure it’s in between normal and help...

This baby chick is a crested polish. I am unsure what is happening but the chick is chirping really loudly as if it was fine but it can’t move, it’s legs are really numb. What can I do?

I just adopted a “runt” chick from a friend because all their other chicks were attacking it (pulling out feathers, pecking to the point of bleeding, stepping on it). We aren’t supposed to get the rest of our chicks for 3 days, but I had to rescue this poor girl/guy and save it from being killed...

A friend of mine has baby chicks and one of them is panting and not eating. Any reason a baby chick would be panting? No other signs of respiratory illness like gunk in the eyes or nose, nothing wrong with her vent either. Crop seems empty compared to the others. She just is panting hard and...

I’m new to raising baby chicks. I have a couple 2 week old chicks who are desperately trying to fly out of the brooder they’re in. They’re inside in a 27 gallon tote with all the things they need but just wondering if this is normal? Every time I open the top of the brooder to clean it they’re...

I just got a Jersey Giant chick 5 days ago (Making her 6 days old as of today)... Today I noticed that she has a crooked beak /scissor beak. This is my first time owning this breed AND having crooked / scissor beak. I've done some Googling / Youtubing on the matter and now I'm coming to my...

Can anyone put their photos down below if you have calico x Mille fleur Cochins have some chicks and want an idea on how they look.

I am brand new to chickens and we have 8 or 9 day old baby chicks. This one had pasty butt that I noticed this morning. Pictures are before I soaked her butt and then a few hours later. Is it possible she has a prolapse? Or is her vent just irritated and swollen from the pasty butt? If she does...

I had my second chick hatch (from the incubator). My broody hen already has one chick that she hatched, so I was hoping she would take this chick…. Which she did right away, I’m glad I stuck around because shortly after she started to peck the chick which resulted in what looks like both her...

Hi everyone, I’m back with questions, my little hen named little, laid this egg back in November between squeakers (my duck) laying her eggs. Squeakers eggs hatched between Dec 6-13th little’s I estimated to hatch around the 21st of December, however the egg has yet to hatch and I cannot tell...

So about a year ago we had a case of Fowl Pox run through our flock, no big deal, everyone made it out just fine. Fast forward to now, we had a hen hatch 4 eggs. 2 weeks in I started noticing signs of fowl pox on 2 of the babies and one adult who never showed symptoms during the last outbreak...
