My 5 day old chick is having trouble moving his legs. He is constantly flapping his wings rather than moving his legs. I’m new at this and I don’t want to hurt him. Please help.
Hello,
I have a sick 1 week old cream legbar. She’s about half the size of the other chicks. The past couple days, she was tiny but eating and drinking. Today she has now stopped eating/ pooped water with what looks to be a tiny hallow squishy seed shaped body part or something. She’s pretty...
She keeps falling back unless she corners herself. She was a late hatch. I'm not sure what to do. I've given nutridrench and sperated her. Everytime I check on her just about, she's on her back, if not she's cornered herself.
The following are 2 videos of my chick, please help!!
hello all...need advice please. We have a timid hen who seems to be lowest in pecking order out of 11 hens total + 1 rooster. We have been trying to grab all eggs everyday so no chicks. This girl likes to lay in weird places and has been laying in our broke down smart car. Well we missed, at...
So about a month ago, I had purchased two EEs. They both had the beard fluff and were the same size, however- now, nearly a month later, they look drastically different. The lighter color one being what looks to be a perfect EE. The darker colored one is now showing signs that it may be a bantam...
It seems that my chick's vent has prolapsed. She hasn't eaten or drank anything since she hatched, she has just been staying under her mother.
What should we do? (I'll attach some photos) Thanks
So I have a broody hen and the eggs just hatched about 8 hours ago. They are all still under the mom. They all seem healthy except for one, it is laying down, breathing quite fast and its eyes are closed, It has an odd thing sticking out on its butt (I have attached a photo).
Anyone know what...
Hi everyone!
So I just brought home 6 chicks from TSC and at first they were doing great! Eating, drinking, etc. we found one to have pasty butt, and we quickly cleared all of the discharge, but now she’s still acting off.
When we disturb the brooder, she stays still. She acts lethargic, won’t...

I recently became a baby chick mom and got one cockerel (Stanley) along with four pullets. They’re all about 1-3 weeks old and have had a pretty good transition into their new brood. But I’ve noticed that Stanley has a case of pasty butt, I’m not sure wether it was because of the stress he was...
i have a two week old rooster named beatrice (bee) because i thought he was a she. he is super attached to me because he was really sick when i first got him, and i babied him a lot. i have 4 hens and i really really do not want fertile eggs. i’m considering neutering because i don’t want...
i got two new baby chicks 2 weeks ago. they’re both barred rock. i got them from a breeder who did not check if they were hens. there is a possibility one could be a rooster. the one i’m worried about is named bee. she’s two weeks old. she’s extremely attached to me unlike her sister. i have...
We recently picked up 11 assorted day old chicks to add to the flock, including a couple Cochins on Friday. We had one that was much smaller than the rest, very docile. We noticed she was not nearly as active as the others, often sleeping alone and for long stretches. She had a small bout of...
i have a almost three week old chick. She is SPUNKY and does not act sick in anyway. Has normal poop (maybe a little constipated?) But I can hear her breathe. Every little exhale sounds a little obstructed. I checked her nostrils and there’s nothing there.
It’s very weird. I’ve noticed it for...
