    2 week old baby chick is weak, but fighting to stay

    Hello, We got 12 rainbow layers from Meyer on 12 May, and all had been thriving. Yesterday, I noticed our littlest girl (who is actually quite little still) is very lethargic. She can stand and walk, but prefers to lie down, and does cheep normally still. She’s not cuddling with her siblings...

    Day old chick with droopy wings and wobbling around

    I have a chick who is about a day old. It is not acting like the other chicks that have hatched. It constantly has its wings spread out (and drooling) and can only bring them in when I gently hold them in. The chick cannot walk, it just wobbles around. And when it tries to walk, it trips over...

    About the Same Chick

    Hi this is the same chick about my other question. The chick is maybe 6 days old now and something new has occurred. Since this chick was a surprise we warm up 3 bags of water and put towels on top so the bags stay warm throughout the night. But today I went to a massage and a small errand for...
