I have these chicks I got at a local feed store. Supposed to be pensadesenca breed. One of them has always looked a bit different than the others and now I notice she has no sign at all of growing a comb, not even a bump. I am wondering if she is ok. I never noticed any sign of injury but when...

Two of my six week old chicks have recently transitioned to outside life and today have climbed in the undercarriage of my van for safety. If I try to get them out they seem to go further up. What should I do? I put food out to lure them but it's not working.

Hi again. I got my first group of chicks in about two weeks ago. They seem to be doing great, however even though they are all the same age one is noticeably smaller than the others, all have a really decent amount of tail feathers except my little runt who has barley sprouted any. I noticed she...
