I use a red bulb, because i have had chicks that were under a clear bulb that started pecking eachother to the point of drawing blood. The only thing I don't like about it is, it makes the pictures fuzzy when i go to take pictures of them! Haha

I would try to make a splint of some sort and put it on the leg. Popsicle sticks work great, i use electrical tape to keep it on because it stays on, and doesn't hurt them when you take it off. Was the chick born that way? if so, sometimes you can fix it if it is early enough. I had a chick once...

For any chicks that seem to be sleeping alot or sick, I would recommend separating those, so if it's a contagious thing, it doesn't spread. Other than that, I'm not really shur. Good luck!

My favorite names that I've picked up so far is: Girls: Tablespoon, Monkey, Dog, Pumpkin, Woodchuck (Chuck for short) Boys: Jefferson

Sounds like a blast!! I would love to have one or two of my hens have chicks of their own. Two go broody a couple of weeks ago, and the one girl stole the others' chicks! It was mean, hah. But unfortunetly one of the chicks died, and so I took the other live one right away in fear that they got...

Looks like a roo, but breed, not so shur.

Does indeed look like a pretty roo! :)

My white leghorn x ? mix. I don't know what breed my roo was, but he was a mix of colors, so she got a little of gold from him.

My 4-yr old hen went through a really bad molt once, it lasted almost a full year. her entire neck had no feathers, along with her back! She was quite a sight.

Haha! They can be little theives. Whenever my cat catches a mouse, he never gets to eat it because they steal it from him
