    What is this? Two ckns dropped off on our farm they dont look good

    Now the bottom of her feet look normal. His are only slightly raised but look normal on bottom. Can this hurt any of us in the house. If we treat her with vaseline or rx will that help her other leg if it is this bad already? People really suck. Why have them if you cant take care of them

    Any ideas? Only two that look different....

    Well we thought these were both easter eggers..... we are new at this but there were also 3 yellow and one white we thought those were our brown egg layer suprise. This is fun but a little confusing. They dont really look anything like the pictures of chicks we ordered from. I guess we will...

    Thanks, We dont mind a roo as long as it is only one. I dont want to deal with a bunch of them seems everyone is all in one big coop and free range during the day together. New Hampshire Red a version of a easter egger or did we just get another breed from the others all together?

    HELP should I be worried chicks were outside

    Hello. I am hoping I am just a worried first time chick mommy like my friend is saying... My friend decided to put the chicks in their brooder outside for 'fresh air'. When she noticed they were dust bathing in the shavings she got them a big dish of dirt to dust bathe in. I have not fed my...
