chicks 1 month

Escaped brooder, pooping on shed floor. Fun. Fun.

Ok so I have 6 - three week old chicks, 2 or 3 are hens, which i am keeping, the remaining Roosters are going to a friend who has a farm, I just hatched out 14 new babies today. I want to wait about a week and then move the new chicks - hens and 1 Roo in with the older hens so that I don't have...

Hey!! I have a BUNCH of 1 month old chicks and I have no clue on how to sex them. I’ve tried to looking on Google but that wasn’t helpful :/ I would usually wait untill they are like 2-3 months old but I have too many and I’m trying to sell a majority of them! Help would be appreciated!!

My husband and I are brand new chicken parents. Our four Buff Orpingtons are now 5 weeks old, and we recently noticed a concerning habit when we turn the lights off at night. Instead of going under the EcoGlow to sleep, our girls will squash themselves into the very corner of the brooder and...

Is this girl a blue lace or golden laced Wyandotte? I have a few but her color is a lot different than the others.

Hi, I noticed today that all 7 of my month old chicks (Orpingtons and RIRs) have bruised, flaking beaks. I don't know what could cause this or how to treat it. I'm suspecting either fungal infection (which again I'm not sure how to treat or how they would have gotten it) or maybe they've damaged...

Hello, I am a new chicken owner. I went to tractor supply and asked for two Rhode Island Reds, but ended up with two of another breed. I have been searching online and think they may be ISA Browns but I am not really sure. Can anyone help with the ID? They are about ~5 weeks old. If I missed...

Today my Rhode Island Red chicks are 4 weeks old! They are growing super fast and making more of a mess these days lol They have learned to scratch and I am having to sweep around their pen a couple times a day from all the wood chips. They are all perching and they love Kale!

Hey everyone! I picked these chicks up this weekend, so far out of the six I’ve narrowed down I have: 1 Australorp 2 Rhode Island Red OR Easter Egger 1 Buff Orpington (who I strongly think is a rooster) Last two I can’t figure out is this brown/black pattern pullet (who’s pretty!) & then the...

I had a hen hatch 4 chicks and a month later 3 of the 4 just disappeared. The hen is still mothering the one remaining. Our local feed store sells chicks. Can I buy a few day Olds and sneak them under the mother at night? And will she raise them? Will we have problems with our 1 month old being...

I have 5 old english game bantam chicks who are about a month old. They're doing great, but I've never raised this type of chicken before so IDK how well they can tolerate the cold. When I take my little blue old english game bantam chick out to mess with her, she shivers. I keep them indoors bc...

I have a small flock of Barnevelder chicks around four weeks. One splash, one blue and the rest silver laced. I think two of them are cockerels due to their combs being a little bigger and have red. The feather patterns on them don’t look like what they should be as adults. Is the first batch...

Howdy BYC-ers! This forum was my social outlet ten years ago when I moved home and returned to chickens from the city. A visit to my posts here reminds me how chicken therapy got me through some rough years. I started raising chickens as a kid and I wanted to share my top things that I...

So I have had her for a wile (still a chick) Not much growth. Her beak has started to change. her top beak is curving and is super long and her bottom is growing straight. She cant close her beak and im very worried. Pls HELP!!!:hit🥺

Hello, my baby chicks are just a little over 4 weeks old. I noticed when i went out into the garage they were huddled in the corner of the box and not using the plate. They were not chirping and have noticed them again like that tonight (pic attached) its about 50 degrees in there at night...

Hi, Sorry to ask a question straight away but I’ve searched the forum and can’t find anything specifically on this topic. I have a lovely, very maternal Light Sussex who went broody three weeks ago and I snuck 6 Barnvelder eggs under her. She sat on them like a champ but unbeknownst to me...

I am sure there is a post somewhere about this but I couldn't find it. I have 1 adult (1.5 yrs) hen and 2 5wk old chicks. While I am not new to chickens in general I am new to the ins and outs of young to adult introductions. Question being, how and when do I put them together? Right now...

Hi, I have 3 dozen young Serama that I’m donating. If you’re interested, post here or send me a private message.
