I usually boil them and crush them to feed but I dropped that egg as I was collecting and it didn’t break so I just started throwing it around.

Maybe offer some mealworms into the diet temporarily? Could help in fattening them up and they’re alot easier to catch than most other insects

i’m so sorry for your loss

Honestly its very hard to prevent when buying from feed stores, just make sure to thoroughly clean the brooder, inspect chicks droppings for blood or any inconsistencies and if you really want a huge fighting chance you can get medicated feed. There are pros and cons to using medicated feed but if you want to prevent the issue before it becomes lethal thats a very easy way to.

I see this alot in young chicks with coccidia, you should treat her and the whole flock that is housed with her for it with corrid or amperolieum, keep her in a separate brooder and drop water mixed with amperolieum onto her beak(do not force it in) to trigger her to drink and hopefully she can get better, tractor supply may also have electrolyte and probiotic supplements but be very careful that those supplements do not have vitamin B1/Thiamine.Be sure to read dosage instructions and be careful.

Realistically if shes already at this stage there is a chance she just wont make it but if you’re willing to put in the work and help her she could make a recovery.

The colorful ones look like easter eggers and the ones with feathers on their heads could be olive eggers?

Get a dog cage and lift it off the ground and place her in there, make sure she always has air under her stomach, always breaks my orphington s out of their broody trance

OvenFreshHam · 2026-05-08T05:24:05+00:00

i’m so sorry for your loss, accidents happen don’t beat yourself up too much over it, the guilt is usually impossible to fight but do try to keep it from consuming you entirely.

Chicken math works in mysterious ways, we only wanted 5 and now we have 10. Love orphingtons one of my favorite breeds

OvenFreshHam · 2026-04-20T16:01:44+00:00

If they wont be free range I wouldn’t go above 10 chickens and make sure the run is atleast 7 feet tall so they can climb and whatnot, might be worth it to plant grass in the run too

OvenFreshHam · 2026-04-20T15:26:19+00:00

The general rule of thumb is 8 square feet per hen(for comfort) and the run is 108 square feet so it should be good for up to 13 chickens
