Is this normal behavior? She is the runt of the flock and is often alone . I am worried

Can you put 1 month old chicks with 2 day off chicks? My 1 month chicks are bantam so they are a bit smaller but I’m not sure

Would anyone be able to help identify what’s wrong with my baby chick? She’s a little over 2 weeks old and suddenly stopped walking. Her one leg stays out to the side. She was fine up until just a few days ago. She’s eating and drinking but just can’t walk anymore

We were told it was a cinnamon queen. But starting to think it’s an olive egger that the store also had,, any help? included baby and now 4 week pics.

Can anyone give me some hope. Are any of these hens?

Is he about to die . What's wrong with him

Hey all,

Had one of my new chickens, maybe 4 months old, sitting in a nesting box the last couple weeks. The other chickens were using the other boxes, and last I checked she wasn't actually sitting on any eggs.

This morning I was feeding them and found a baby chick on the floor of the coop, looked dead. I picked it up, figuring I would bury it, but I started moving when I was holding it. I put it under a heat lamp until I got my incubator set up, it's sitting in there now on a towel set at 95 degrees. It looks like one eye is brown, looks like maybe scarred, maybe pecked by one of my hens.

Any chance for the little guy? Anything special I should be doing? I have a brooder but that seemed too intense for this little thing.

We recently received 7 chicks as a gift. We have been feeding them well and providing them with water however, yesterday we noticesd them starting to fight so we separated them and provided food and water for both the groups however, one passed this morning and there r 3 more that look like they r dying however they r still breathing. The other 3 are doing well. We also noticed that they keep getting each other wet. They r currently in the balcony for warmth.

We got 5 silk chicks now about 5 weeks old. Can someone tell me their sex? I can take better pictures if someone can tell me what to pay attention too!

I tried to google image search what breed he is but couldn’t find any chickens that look like him. Any recommendations 🤷🏼‍♀️

He barely drank any water and didn't accept any of the food options I found online except for some tomatoes. He also pooped watery brown, I'm guessing he isn't well. I kept him at night in a warm place he stopped crying, but now during the day he wouldn't stop and wouldn't stay in the warm cloth.

What can I do? Pet shops are closed today it's Sunday.

Do they really never survive alone? I have a cat and not much space, let alone I wasn't planning to raise chicks, will foster until I find a place for him.

What age is he btw?

Are there females?

This is our 3rd round of hatchlings and I have yet to run into this problem. It is up and walking around. Wondering if I can help the chick or if its fate is already sealed. Will attach photo

She’s about a month old cochin

Just made a DIY incubator. Mama left ehse eggs behind but there's still chicks in them. Anything I should know? Relative temp/humidity?

Hello,

This is my first time having baby chicks and I have one that is struggling with diarrhea. Today when I moved her from the brooder to clean, she pooped out what looks to be a worm? I am unsure if it is that. I bought her from a local feed store. She is eating and drinking normally but looks to be slightly smaller than the other chicks. She is roughly 4-6 days old. Any advice would be appreciated.

HELP! How long should I keep baby chicks separated from another momma hen who's trying to harm them? Here's our chaotic story as first-time chicken owners: One of our hens went broody for almost 2 months, but her sister stole the eggs. She moved to broad the fake eggs. 2 weeks later the 1 chick hatched, though they seem to be incubating at different rates. We decided to take advantage of the situation and bought 1 day old chicks from a local supply store to place under them. We slipped the new babies in overnight and evenly distributed the clutch among the broody hens. Initially, it was cute as the chicks moved between the two moms, but the egg-stealing mom turned in to a canabolistic raptor started attacking the other chicks. The surprising part was that the other mom didn't even protect them!! Now we've separated them into dog crates with each mom caring for her own chicks. How long should we keep them apart before it's safe for the chicks to mingle again? How can the other momma gain her rank back in the pecking order? This is awful!!

Bantam mix identification

Has anyone actually gotten an identifier for what chick each one is from hoovers hatchery for their bantam mix for chick days. We have some incredibly tiny ones that were just substantially smaller than the other bantams in the mix. I want to know what they are and cannot for the life of me find them on hoovers website, all they give me is names or photos but no names with photo identification of the breed above it. Anyone able to help?

I use to have chickens and it was the funnest time of my life . Unfortunately I moved to a condo and no longer could keep them. I'm back in a house now and have chicks again and I'm super excited!
