3 week chick

We got a few Easter egger pullets from TS about 3 weeks ago, and normally I would say that’s way too early to sex a chick but what do you guys think? This one’s comb and waddles are very bright, and it’s comb is pretty wide though very flat.

Alright, this is "Sauron", and we are hoping she's a hen. I know it's too early too be definitively sexed, but my kids love her and if she ends up being a roo...well, I just want to set expectations now. Sauron is a smidge over 3 weeks old. We got her (and the other ladies) from a local shop...

Hey everyone So I got some chicks on March 22nd, so they are almost 3 weeks old. I also got two chicks on April 7th. I added them to the brooder and the one is doing great, she is chasing the big ones and getting food and water, the other one is getting food and water but she doesn’t really...

Hi everyone! I'm a new chick mama(6wks in) who's been getting amazing info and guidance from BYC since the beginning! I thought I would join the lovely community now. :frow (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm still pretty new and have a 3 week old that hatched...

I have a chick that hatched on or around March 1st. I just opened the brooder to check on them and her leg is twisted almost backwards. She doesn’t want to walk on it as much either, but she can use her toes. She is sitting on her hocks quite a bit though. I don’t know what to do about this...

I have lost chicks during hatch but never a healthy chick this late in the game. I have eight, three week old chicks in a Brooder inside. One of them seemed lethargic last night and was dead this morning. Everyone else seems totally fine and healthy. No poopy butt and no suspected foul play. Any...

I know it’s early but Pinkie is my favorite, hopefully 100% Maran. Guesses?

Hi, I already have 3 roosters in a small and delicate flock. I have 3 chicks growing up that I suspect at this point are roosters from my recent batch of chicks that I have to re-home. Another rooster would mess up the delicate balance I have going in my flock - let alone 3. They are silkie...

I live in the US Southwest and unfortunately I caught my dog with this baby quail in our backyard 2 days ago. Its in the middle of summer right now in the desert so it's incredibly hot out. Thankfully my dog wasn't biting down on her and was just curious. Ants were already starting to approach...

I have a chick that I hatched with about 24 others that it's about 3 weeks old. Last Wednesday it began loudly complaining constantly. When it's siblings we're placed in an outdoor recreation pen they would run and flap their wings, but not this guy. He would sit and complain. On Thursday he...

Hi all :frow I currently have 7 BO chicks and am noticing some differences between some. I have 4 that have basically no tail feathers yet (just little pin feathers starting), and appear to stand taller than the others. The other 3 have 2-3 inch tails, and seem almost "fuller" when it comes to...
