    On of my chicks isn't growing at the same rate, is it normal?

    I have 8 chicks, all a week old and each a different breed. One is a Golden Campine, and she's still small while the others are almost twice her size. They've also got adult wing feathers already while you can barely see hers starting. She seems to be eating and drinking just fine, so is this...

    I'm not feeding my chicks medicated feed, but I'm worried about coccidiosis. What do I do?

    So I just brought home a flock of eight chicks (a day or two old), and I'm feeding them non-medicated food (Dumor brand). But I worry about coccidiosis. So do I need to get medicated feed? Or can I just put a little dirt from outside into their pen (it's too cold to let them out, and they're too...

    A shed with a tractor sharing space with chickens?

    Okay, here's the situation. My family is looking to get a 10X12 shed to put in the backyard.

I have had chickens before on two separate occasions, but the first time they were completely free range and all got killed eventually, and the second time I had to give them away due to moving to a...

    Meyer Hatchery questions?

    I'm not getting chickens till next spring, but I figured I'd do a little research while I wait. So anyway, I've ordered from My Pet Chicken before (since you can order a few at a time and not need to have extras), and while I was satisfied with the service, the shipping price was rather...

    The oddest teenager you ever heard of.

    When one hears about teenage boys, they think hard-rocking, crazy sports jocks. And yet, I'm a 16 year old guy who hates sports, rock music, and basically everything a normal guy likes! (With video games being the only exception). Instead, I have a burning passion for animal husbandry and...
