    Making sure my brooder box is okay

    Hi all! I want to start off by saying this is my first time raising chicks in over 10 years, and I’m pretty rusty. The chicks seem to be doing pretty good, sleeping a lot, fluffing bedding, and chirping. No water drinking yet, but they have investigated it and been shown. There’s six bantam...

    Weird clicking?

    I have 4 chicks, all the same age (3 weeks), but one is still so much smaller than the rest! And when she breathes in i can hear this weird click. It's only when she breathes in!

    Integrating chick with other chicks

    Hey y’all. I have three 5 or 6 week old chicks. It’s very possible that two might be roos. I honestly hope not. If that is the case, I don’t want my flock to be down to one, so I ordered a buff Orpington started chick from Mcmurray that will arrive later this week. How do I handle adding her to...

    First time hatch, help!!!

    Hello, I've raised chickens for years now, but I've never hatched any eggs before. I had to go two weeks without collecting from my hens due to a serious illness.

    Cross Beak Chick

    Hi, everyone! Yesterday was hatching day for my Lavender orpington. I hatched 8 of 11 with no problem, and 2 died probably on day 19 or 20. But one egg was still alive, but hadn't pipped internally. This morning, on day 22, I opened the egg to see what was going on. I opened the internal sac...

    When to treat a chick for pasty butt

    I just got my chicks in the mail about an hour ago and a couple have pasty butt. Should I treat this now or let them settle in first for a little bit? I don’t want to add more stress, but I know it can be fatal to a young chick. They all seem to be doing very well. Eating, drinking and being chicks!
