My one chicken Shyanna has been going through some health problems, she has a small pale comb, loss of appetite, a significant loss of feathers, and she's kind of the runt.
I tried to see if it was an external parasite and I gave her a wood ash bath but it didn't do much. She has a very weird...
Does someone have experience with a similar situation?
I saw it there standing inside the incubator in the middle of the eggs!
I called the Vet, she sent her resident veterinarian 45 minutes later, but I´m still insecure.
He was here and taught me how to give water to the chick in the...
Chicken friends, we are seeking advice and moral support! Yesterday was hatch day only we already knew we may be in for disappointment. We had a dozen chicken eggs shipped USPS and the breeder did an awesome job of packing and labeling the box. However the box was damaged and came off the truck...
So its late in the season and i'm a little confused by the mixed views on how long I should keep the heat lamp on my chicks. Ive read multiple places to who say to keep the chicks under the lamp for 24hrs a day in no hotter than 100 degrees, then I was told because its later in the season, and...
Hello, I'm new on the forums but I had a single chick hatch out and s/he seemed fine for the first 4 days and on her 4 th day I took her outside to "play around" she absolutely loved it as she was running around, eating bugs, and getting to meet the older chicks of the flock. She wasn't out for...
Hello, please help one of my chicks hatched yesterday (with help) and has deformed legs that curl inwards ! He is bright and loud at the moment but I'm unsure if it is fair to keep him alive ? Please help !
I've got a sick chick here! She's 18 weeks old and is having lots of diarrhea is there any kind of food I can give her to settle her stomach or what can I do?! Please Help!
Monday I picked up three Cream Legbars from a local breeder. They were all hatched on Sunday and only a day old. They were all very close in size but one noticeably bigger and with that had the bigger personality. Tuesday I received a devastating shipment from MPC. The two surviving (Blue...
HELP! My new baby chick seams to have her stomach coming out from her rear end and it seems to be attached to her, it won't come off and she has been hatched for 2-3 hours now! I don't want to put her down, as I am not skilled in the area, the bulge seems mostly red but is a little yellow I am...
Hi guys,
This must of happened to other chicken owners... (I hope)
I recently hatched a Serama Chick. As I'm sure most of you already know, they're tiny!!
Anyways...... Because she was the only one that hatched out of 12. We've been giving her LOADS of attention. She literally doesn't stop...
Now, I'm not overly worried. But if my chicks haven't hatched on day 24 (today is day 22) I'm going to help. Is that too early? If absolutely nothing has happened by tomorrow dinner time I'm going to do all the tests I can think of (float test, candle, tap the air bubble etc.) and if they...
