    I made a similar post about that yesterday but asking the gender of another 8 chicks that I have. Thankfully several people came out to help me. I'm pretty sure I know the gender of these chicks, but I just want to be sure. I gave these 4 to a friend thinking they were hens, now I am...

    How do you determine the gender of these 1.5 month old chicks?

    I made a thread about 30 minutes ago, and I got plenty of responses helping me find out the gender of these chicks. However I would like to know what to look for to help me determine their genders. On chicks that are around this age and size, what should I look for?

    Devastated beyond belief

    Today I went to let our chickens and everything seemed fine. As I was walking away, I noticed that the baby chick being raised by two of our hens was not out with them. This is not typical as it comes out with them every morning. It is a couple of months old. I went back in and searched the coop...

    Help!!

    I came home today to my two year old Black Swedish Hen, named Maggie, lame and having issues moving, almost as if she is egg bound. She still has an appetite, is interested in preening, and is currently in the bath (also dosed with meloxicam). Is this egg binding or something different? She’s...

    Red poop! Help!!

    While checking on my almost 10 week old chicks this morning, I noticed two spots of poop that have red in them. I know this can be a sign of coccidiosis, but can also just be their intestinal lining? What does this look like to everyone? Should I treat with Corrid? I have 7 chicks, I don’t know...

    Day 22- No pips, movement, or peeps

    So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.) Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18. It is...

    How lethargic is too much? (New chick tender)

    Hey all! First, preface this by saying I did try a couple of searches but I don’t seem to be using the right keywords. I just know I’m not the only one asking this. My chicks are 4 weeks old and the heat wave just broke a bit, so I put them outside rather than in my tiny laundry room. They got...

    Hi, This baby was born 5 days ago. I thought it was straddle leg so I did the standard glass therapy, splint, selenium B it's etc. Unfortunately, no improvement. Her legs actually point out to the sides in an l shape, perhaps from the hip. She is otherwise thriving, but I am worried for her...

    This is going to be a long question but I’d be very grateful if you stuck around to the end and offered your advice. Where do I even start? I purchased 3 dozen BCM Marans hatching eggs for $200 from a fantastic breeder a couple weeks ago. They are currently on day 17 and doing pretty good...

    This isn’t coccidiosis right? 🙏

    I took two photos of the same stool, one is how I found it and the other is opening it a bit. I am hoping this is just pigmentation and it’s the only one I’ve found like this It’s about 8am and it looks somewhat fresh so it might just be a weird poop from waking up, I know those can look funky...
