My favorite chicken Kevin (15 weeks old) was not doing very good when I checked in him about an hour ago. He has always been a bit runty, but today he never left his dog box, and isn't eating or drinking on his own. He had a poopy butt so I gave him a bath and blow dried before putting him...

I picked up some chicks a few days ago and apparently my 8 week old pullet has some strong broody instincts? She has basically adopted these 1 week old chicks. One is a blue orpington and three are partridge chanteclers. I have never heard of this happening before but it is too cute not to...
