Our take
Oh no, it sounds like your feathered friend is having a bit of a rough patch! It's perfectly normal for first-time chicken owners to feel a little flustered when it comes to their flock's health. Since your chick is still eating, drinking, and mingling with her buddies, that’s a good sign! However, it’s essential to pay attention to any changes in behavior or appetite. To help you out, consider checking for signs of illness, ensuring she has a comfortable space, and reviewing her diet. The chicken community is here to support you, so don’t hesitate to ask more questions or share specific details about her condition.
| | This started 2 days ago. She still eats and drinks water and doesn’t refrain herself from the flock. I just need to know what I can do to help. My mom bought these chicks and now I’m the one having to take care of them so I am a first time chicken owner. If someone can help with information please do so. Thank you. [link] [comments] |

- Help! Something is wrong with one of my little ladies:(Hello, I’ll start by saying I’m a noob and have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance for any help. So a couple days ago we noticed one of my favorite little chickens was standing kinda funny. Over the past day or so her walk is definitely different and she seems like she’s having trouble getting around. She’s almost straight up when she walks and just doesn’t seem very coordinated or able to do her normal chicken stuff. Anybody know what this is? I want her to be ok so any advice helps. Thanks. submitted by /u/woooowthatwashard [link] [comments]
- Help with identify what’s wrong with baby chickHi everyone, have a baby check that is about four weeks old. She was doing really well in the beginning, but wasn’t growing as fast as the others. I was worried that she just wasn’t getting as much food and water. She keeps trying to stand but falls forward. . I’m not sure if this started happening because the other chickens might have trampled on her since they were bigger or if this was a birth defect, but she was walking just fine when we first brought her home. I have her isolated and trying to feed her food and water, but it’s hard for her to lean forward to dip her beak and water. Is there anything we can do or what might be the issue? submitted by /u/Few-Permission5362 [link] [comments]
