    Broody raising chicks/medicated feed

    Hiii! I currently have a broody I gave 1 day olds to 2 werks ago. She is being an amazing mama and is in an enclosure off my current run from my flock of 3 hens. She seems to be trying to get to the other side with the others. I would gladly let her go with her chicks as I think she would...

    urgent—baby chick question

    Hey everyone, We have a chick that hatched a few days early. She’s a Buff Orpington/Silkie cross. The other eggs passed candling tests, so we expect them to hatch, but in the meantime, our current early-bird is distressed. I’m going to call local farm stores to see if they have chicks in the...

    Sick Chick

    One of my thirty 8 week old chicks has diarrhea and has for the past 5-6weeks. I started giving it electrolytes as soon as I noticed it was sick but it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t seem to be lethargic and eats and drinks regularly as far as I can tell. Any diagnosis or suggested treatment...

    Possible Hip Dysplasia? Treatment Rec’s Needed

    I have two chickens of the EXACT same description so I will describe as one for simplicity’s sake. I have an 11-week old Brahma hen that I think has hip dysplasia. Her right hip is looser and sits further back than the right, and when she walks, the right leg is further out from her body and she...

    What is this little dude?

    I’m 99% sure this is a cockerel. He’s about 5 weeks old now. At first I thought barred rock, but definitely doesn’t look like any barred rock I’ve seen before. Any ideas?

    Chick Dominance Behavior

    Two questions about chick dominance behavior (they're almost 3 weeks old): 1. As of today, the alpha male has moved beyond occasionally pecking my hand to biting. Clearly, saying "no" in a loud, stern voice isn't working. Any other ideas to curb this behavior? BTW, I've raised six dogs -...

    HELP Chick Not Absorbing Veins and Yolk

    I found this chick pipped under the broody hen 26 hours ago. His beak was not at the pip location so I picked the egg up to investigate and the membrane was dry, there was no movement, and I didn’t hear any pips. I placed him in the incubator for a few hours while I did some research. I read...

    Wry Neck

    I have a 4wk old polish chick and she has developed a case of wry neck. I got the selenium, administered it 2x yesterday and 1x this morning. I’ve been dripping her water from a syringe with poultry cell mixed in. She gets random spirts of energy and will try to eat her food like normal, but...

    Abandoned chick

    Took in a chick that was found on the street, where I live you always see abandoned chickens out and about anyways, what color and/or breed could it be?? They are black with white underside, and the fathers have red/brown tips. And will it be ok alone? I don't have any other babies only adults.

    Please help identify the breed and gender if possible

    Hi i just recently hatched this chick and it’s the only one that is a different color so I was wondering what it is it hatched from a brown egg, and i don’t know what breed eggs i got. Also if you can tell the gender that’d be great!

    Are these mixed silkie chicks? (pictures)

    Hello I bought some new chicks from someone that said these weren't mixed silkies (or the very least they don't think they are) but one of them have odd (or normal?) feathering with barbicules that make me doubt the legitimacy. I'm not complaining as I didn't get them for breeding but I wanted...
