    Help!!! Slipped tendon?

    I need some advice, I’m not sure if this is a slipped tendon or what. He’s only about 3 days old. He won’t put ANY pressure on it. I tried stretching and massaging, but nothing seems to change but it does cause pain. I tried splitting and hobbled but he still won’t use it. I want to be sure I’m...

    Really bad feathers on chick

    So we hatched five Serama chicks recently 🥳🥳🥳 All of them have really nice feathers except for one and I can't figure out what's wrong with them. The one with the problem is the chipmunk coloration, and then just for comparison's sake I included one of the others. The feathers seem to be...

    attention seeking or sick? please help

    one of my chicks, a 3 day-ish old silver wyandotte, is acting really weird. She seems really sleepy and doesn't seem to like walking all that much, preferring to sit in one spot. She'll get up and eat or drink from what I can see, though, if in small amounts. But when I get worried and pick her...

    Cleaning chicks

    K so. got chicks but they’re all a bit stupid. They seemed kinda weak so I gave them egg yolk like someone suggested, but they managed to get it on their fluff and started pecking at each other to get the yolk. Took the yolk away but they ended up losing fluff. 1. Will the fluff grow back? Will...

    Question of Concern: Chick Leaning When Laying Down

    I don't know how to best explain it, but the way I can explain it may give a good explanation as to what is happening to my baby chick. First off, I wish I had a pic, but as of writing, the chick seems to be standing just normally. Anyway, the chick in question looks to be growing their...

    Supposedly Dominique Pullets ??

    Purchased at TSC about a month ago and one of them seems slightly different and lighter in color , different markings around eyes as well. Is it a roo? Or is it maybe a Plymouth Rock ? I included many photos from over the past month. You will see the one that I suspect is a roo or not a...

    4 day old chick - itching problem?

    My chicks are ~4 days old and one is tucking her head under her body (almost biting at herself?) and running backwards. I checked her body and was unable to find anything that could cause this and her vent is clear. I've included a video of this behavior, but sometimes it is worse (lasts longer)...

    10 day old chick with soft bumps on head - Help!

    Short backstory: one of my mixed bantam hens hatched 4 chicks on 12/04, and one of them developed what look like little bubbles on its head. This chick's left wing also hasn't grown since it hatched, but I'm not as concerned about that since it acts like any other chick. The bumps are clear-ish...

    Breed and sex guesses

    My Jersey went broody and I got her eggs to hatch. She is such a good mama. Pictures are her 4 babies- 5 days old today (4/18/21). Eggs came from roosters that could give the gene for blue copper marans. Mom could be golden, red, or silver wyandotte, barred rock or black astrolorps. Any idea...

    Constipated Chick?

    I have a week old chick that I believe is constipated. It all started with me thinking she may be starting to get a prolapsed vent, but as I was treating her swollen vet as a prolapsed vent, I noticed she was struggling to have a bowel movement. She was straining while I was doing a warm epsom...
