A friend of mine had just got baby chicks, as of today they are between 3 days and a week old. A couple of them had abnormal stuff on their vents including dry crusty skin above their vents, a white liquid coming out of their vents, under their vents seemed to be swollen and bare (could be...

Alright. Is there any expected amount of time she will be doing this? I only got one other hen so eggs have been very limited

I have an almost 2 year old Cinnamon Queen hen and an Easter Egger hen of the same age. The Easter Egger is still laying good eggs almost daily, but the Cinnamon Queen has stopped. I noticed it about a month and a half ago because I lost most of my flock in a possum attack. At first the CQ was...

When I first got chickens I had a flock of 9 and ended up with 7 hens/2 roosters. My dads friend made a deal with my dad so that wed get another hen, but we had to take his duck too, which in my luck, turned out to be a drake. At first I had them all together in my run and I was watching...

I have two broody hens. They have, together, hatched 15 eggs with 11 chicks surviving. Throughout the whole process, they have switched clutches and they both seem like good mothers. Currently I have them in a brooder coop together with their 11 chicks. Today I went out to the coop to do my...

The crop is still full, but it has gone down quite a bit

I am not using a heat lamp this time around, the brooder isnt tall enough for one.

I feed them Nutrena chick starter, and I use large pine shavings.

I got week old chicks on Sunday, and today I went to check on them and found this guy. The feathers are not wet in the area that his skin is visable, and I am not sure what to do. It looks very swollen/full. Could he have an impacted crop, or may it be something else?

I made a mama hen heating pad thing and they seem to be happy, sleeping in it and going out to walk around and eat and stuff. And with the last batch i used 2 extra ways to secure the lamp (when they were inside). My friends still gonna bring her coop for when the other chicks come.

I have been talking to my friend and we are going to set up one of her old coops for them. Its a bigger coop and tall enough for a lamp.

The coop is about 2'x3', and I am going to be getting 17~ chicks, 12 will be SR. Roosters im selling and I am going to be putting a bigger coop in there.

I am getting day old chicks from farm n fleet hopefully today, but my dad has made it clear that they cant come inside. I have a small coop that is very predator proof that I plan to put them in. In it is a heat pad and a shoe box with some old shirts in it that they can sleep in, as well as...

I have a 9 month old Production Red rooster and he has gotten frost bite on his comb and wattles. When I was checking up on him, I noticed mucus coming out of him mouth and nose. I brought him into a heated garage and his wattles and chin area started to swell a lot. I couldn't notice any...

She could be, this is my first winter with chickens. What other signs should I look for?

I have a 6 month old easter egger hen who is acting weird. When I came home from school, she was laying in her nesting box sleeping with her head over her wing, but beak tucked into her wing. She has not layed an egg today, and I tried to check her vent but I could not see anything abnormal. She...

I had only three eggs make it to this point. The "yellow" egg chick is dead, my guess is the yolk was not fully absorbed into it, and the yolk dried. A different egg did pip, and hatched so I took the chick that hatched out, and it is in the brooder with a stuffed animal chick and some other...

Alright, thanks!

Im back again with more questions. I had only one chick hatch, and she (I dont know what it is yet but to make it simple) is still a little damp from hatching, like her head, back, and tummy look wet. Should I change the humidity level so she dries quicker? How much is it ok for the humidity to...

Nothing for the egg with the yellow around it. I did have another egg hatch and the chick seems healthy, but not fully dry yet, and it was stumbling over the yolky egg, and the yolky egg chick did not move at all. And with my alive chick, I have to go somewhere again tomorrow, so if a chick is...
