    Injured newborn chick! URGENT!! what to do??

    Yes, I removed the chick and separated the hens. Took the chick, I called Amazing Gracie in the house and cared for her, treating her wound. It appeared that she was going to make it but then after 2 weeks she became ill and died. It was heartbreaking for me.

    Pecking order reversal after maturing?

    Shmccarthy, I had a little pullet that was the smallest of the group and was also the most scared of everything. They at 3 1/2 months , she became the biggest and the dominant. I never would have thought it!

    Thanks red socks. One of my bantams is a little cochin frizzle. One of the Roos seems to keep her isolated from the rest of the flock.
