Okay so I’m a little bit worried
why aren’t my hybrid’s comb’s growing? They are 6 months old and I’m worried about it. Is there a problem? Maybe a disease? It’s probably because of them being crossbred but I’m not sure. (same chickens as my last post, Loona and clover) clover is growing some...
I am totally stumped. I got 4 silkie bantams from TSC about 2 weeks ago, but one seems to be not growing AT ALL! It's name is MoonPie. 🥰 Yes, it has grown a bit, but it is SO MUCH smaller than my other babies. Fortunately they don't pick on it, but I'm curious as to why it's so much smaller.
I...
Hey! :frow Hope you all are having a good day!
Ok. So I have 3 White Jersey giants, and I’m starting to get worried. They are about 8 months old, and they are only about the size of my RIR‘s, maybe slightly bigger. (I’ll post pics). I know they grow big and tall, and should I be worried? (They...
I have 6 Easter Egger chicks that are all the same age. Almost 4 weeks old.
One is just not growing. It's about 1/2 the size of the others and only has a tiny bit of feathers on the tip of the wings. And the feathers it does have look weird. Should I be worried about this chick? Is there...
This is my first time hatching and raising quail. All of my chicks except 1, which was born blind (without eyes). I didn't want to cull it yet since I thought it would maybe be able to see or learn to adapt in the future but so far it's been 1 week in and I still hand feed the chick as it never...
Hi I have a frizzle that will be 4 weeks tomorrow that has me concerned. I bought eggs from Ebay and hatched 2. One chick is perfectly fine and growing, I have given it to my hen that hatched 7 eggs a few days after my 2 incubator babies. The 2nd baby has not grown. The feathers have...
2 1/2 weeks ago I got 11 day old Appleyard Ducklings. 10 of them are developing fine but 1 does not seem to be growing at all. Our babies all free range during the day and he seems to keep up just fine, but I have been bringing him in a night to make sure he gets enough food and water.
Any...
My 10 new standard sized chicks shipped on 4/8 and now it's the 17th of April. Nine of the chicks (all hens) are growing like normal - wings getting longer, legs and necks taller, etc. But one little baby is not growing. She still looks like she's 2 days old! I've had to clean her vent almost...
So, I have a little Cochin bantam chick that is in need of a name and I find myself grasping at straws for a suitable name. No idea of the gender, but any and all name suggestions will be considered.
Now, this little peep is rather special. It hatched out from under a broody hen with several...
I just got four - 4 week old chicks last week. 2 - Cream Crested Legbars, 1 - Olive Egger and 1 Welbar. When I got the chicks home I did notice one chick (one of the CCL's) was smaller but thought maybe it was just younger. Now 1 week has gone by and it really doesn't seem like this chick is...
So 2 months ago we had bought some chicks from a flea market. The vender said they were about 1-2 days old. We got them set up with chick crumble, electrolyte water, and newspaper bedding with a heat lamp. We constantly monitored the temperature with a thermometer. They were growing fine. After...
1) Speckled Sussex, 5 weeks old, much lighter than the rest of the chicks we have
2) Sometimes she will act like she's drinking even if she's not, she will poop basically just water, she has spit up twice, and she doesn't seem to have any interest in chick food, although she will eat grass...
