Cheerful ol' me!

Well we were planning on going just roosters no girls. My dad wants to raise them to sell them to either 4H or local feed stores.

That white one do you know what breed that is? I have one but I don't remember what breed it is lmao.

So a few months ago my niece hatched some eggs at school and was given about 13 baby chicks. The bad thing is half of them are roos. We want to raise them til they are fully grown and sell them. But we don't want them messing with the girls so we are planning on putting them all together in one...

Idk want the little guy to suffer should I put it out of its misery or trim its beak?

Omg, I noticed that this happened to one of my chickens. I thought the whole time it was because of my little sister who hit her beak when she was younger on accident

One of my young hens died yesterday randomly. But I didn't know how or why it died but today I looked at my other hens and roos and they got a little tiny bugs crawling around their skin and feathers. How do you get rid of it?

I'm sorry for your loss :( I seem to be having the same problem. One of my young girls just randomly died. I didn't have any idea til now. Because today I've seen little tiny bugs crawling around some of my chickens feathers. Plus one of them is so weak now it can barely raise its head :(.

Orpington, 2 months and a few weeks, 80-98degrees

When I went out today to give treatment to all my young hens and roos I found one that before showed no symptoms of the disease MG unlike my other chickens that have the symptoms. But, it looks like it just up and died. No bite marks no bleeding no signs of death. My only predictions are it died...

Oh to me she looks broody?

She is broody. Chickens do this when they want to have babies/sit on eggs til they hatch.

Did this happen when you wore open-toed shoes?

As said by BlackHackle, one is a roo and one is a pullet.
