I have a chick that hatched last night, he hasn’t walked yet and he can’t seem to get his legs under him. He just kicks them straight out in front of him. When he does try and move the legs just kind of kick like he’s trying to scoot back. Any idea on how I can help him?
I recently hatched some tolbunt polish eggs that I bought from a breeder. Some chicks have very light grey coloring on their body instead of black. The breeder said those ones are blue tolbunt polish.(?) I've never heard of that. Has anyone else heard of blue tolbunt and if so, do you have...
I am expecting 30+/- Black Australorp chicks March 29 and another 30+/- April 6. I am asking $6 per chick. I also have Blue Jersey Gaint cross chicks. If you are interested in either please let me know and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks
Hey guys I hatched my first group of chicks from some eggs I found in my grandmothers coop. I was wondering if I could get some help identifying breeds of the chicks! I know one is polish
Has anyone use an old pack 'n play or playpen as a brooder? How did you cover it to avoid flyaways? We are done having babies and we have an old pack 'n play that we want to use. No sense in going out and buying a brand new brooder or building one if we can use what we already have.
We're...

My sweet Ayam Cemani hen decided that December was a great month to become a first time mom. I found her sitting on 5 eggs and within a few more days, she was sitting on a total of 9 eggs! I candled them, thinking I would only find 3-4 to be fertilized. However, all 9 had developing chicks...
I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...
After doing a lot of research and deciding to purchase hens versus chicks, I caved and got chicks. I'm a first timer, but I researched breeds and my top pick was Australorps. My local TSC had them in stock and I thought I'd get some others for variety. So I got 4 Australorps, 3 Barred Rock, and...

We live in a suburban area of Atlanta. A neighbor had a chicken that loved coming to our house and she finally made a place to pay her eggs. We've been feeding her, enjoying her for about a month. She sat on 10 eggs. Today we found she had some hatchlings. We counted 3. She had her nest in a...
I hatched my first egg yesterday, and then my second egg pipped. The second one was dried out so I helped him get out. His head was in between his legs and the membrane was all tan. Anyways, hes out now but do his legs look normal? Im worried helping him out caused him to have messed up legs...
Hi! I am fairly new to the farm world. We have a small backyard chicken coop we started in March, '23. We have 4 hens (1 Rhoad Island Red and 3 Orpingtons) currently. A few weeks ago, one became broody (before we re-homed our Rhoad Island Red rooster) and just yesterday, we got our first baby...
Hen being housed indoors just hatched 4 chicks yesterday and they are so small they can only eat crumbs. I would just give them chick feed, but mum is eating the same food & I don't want her to get an upset stomach from it. Saw someone saying they just crush regular feed to chick size, so i...
