Sorry for the delay, life has been crazy! T-Rex is still hanging in there! Although we’ve been fighting a couple other ailments it seems. He’s also very small still compared to my other two. The one chick who is almost two weeks younger than T-Rex is just about as big and has the same amount of...

Thank you for this suggestion! I had read about coconut oil, but wasn’t sure if there was such a thing as doing too much in this situation. Didn’t want to overdo it until someone with more experience offered some advice. Will look for some coconut oil now.

Hello! I took a chick in on April 18th that had been hatched on April 16th. It wasn’t doing well with the other chicks so they had it separated. I’ve had chickens for a few years, so offered to take it and try to save it. Our 5-year old has named it T-Rex. It took a few days but she (🤞🏼) was...

Gives me some hope, thank you!

I thought I was replying with my picture to your response 🤦🏻‍♀️ should I be adding anymore vitamins?

This is the Chick Boost, maybe look at adding Vitamin B?

Good morning! I took a newly hatched chick from our son’s daycare that was separated from the rest of their hatched chicks. My son named “him” T-Rex (black one). He wasn’t standing and was found being walked on, so he wasn’t doing great when we took him in last Thursday (18th). I was told they...

Hello all! I have a 4 day old chick that I’m attempting to nurse back to good health. My son’s daycare hatched some eggs and when I went to pick him up yesterday I saw they had this little one separated and “he” didn’t look too good. Our youngest has named him T-Rex, so that’s who I’m referring...

These directions are much easier to read than the broken English ones I received! I had also read one that said “not the meaty part” so that had me concerned. Thank you for your response!

I’ve read articles and watched YouTube videos but it’s difficult to see when the peeper is on already. I just want to make sure we place it in the correct location. Inside the nostril, right?! I suppose if we don’t get it on correctly it won’t stay on, but I don’t want to cause any discomfort if...

“Composting is only as hard as you make it, if you mess up it just takes longer to turn into dirt.” I’m trying to remind myself of this, but as much as I’ve already read I still don’t know what to do. I have a small backyard flock of six, ranging in age from 1-3 years. I want to start...

I’m only “liking” this for taking the time to respond. Not the response itself! 😅 However I knew the risks of grabbing from bins 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you!

I just can’t get over the size of this comb and wattles! I picked up three chicks from three different bins at our local fleet supply store. I know different breeds mature at different rates and given the color of this chick “she” by all rights is a pullet…if in fact she was labeled correctly as...

Thank you all for your input, I appreciate it a lot! Glad they’re not dino eggs 😉

This one was pretty hard to cut into, I know they do ripen like that reddish one in the original post.

Does anyone know what this is and if it’s harmful to chickens? I want to build our new run in this area and these are all over. Our three year old thinks they’re dinosaur eggs and if that’s the case we have a really big problem 😅

Sadly she died overnight. Should I still treat the rest of the flock if they’re not presenting any symptoms?

So sorry for the delay, I was trying various things with her that you had mentioned. I very much appreciate your response. She hasn’t laid for a couple days, she is just shy of 1 year, the flock has access to oyster shell and grit 24/7, crop feels fine and she hasn’t been wormed recently. Quite...

I’ve noticed over the last two days one of my orps, Goldie Hawn, isn’t acting herself. I think the flock knows it too. Yesterday morning I witnessed one of the other hens mounting her and biting the back of her neck. I’ve never seen anything like that amongst my flock although I’m sure they’ve...

Following as I’m hoping to see updates with my afternoon cup of coffee 😅 well wishes!!
