    Beak pecking

    How long do I keep an injured beak separated. I have 9 total chickens all 17-20ish weeks old. I started with 4 that I raised as chicks then added 5 more 18-20 week old chicks to my flock. Initially the 5 new chicks picked on my 4 girls :mad: but after about a week they all seemed ok and...

    Chickens to hot? One still very sick

    I will check them again. Not my favorite thing and I’m sure they don’t appreciate it haha. I’m hoping they are just taking a break. Poops seem to be fine. They are confined to an area while I’m at work then opened to a larger area still confined with no where to lay so that part is covered. And...

    Chickens to hot? One still very sick

    I have checked all 3. And didn’t notice anything. Although I’m not 100% sure I’ll did it correctly . IT has been 2 weeks yesterday since an egg has been laid. Could this be stress or or an underlying problem?

    It’s the same here in Maryland. Looks like after tomorrow it will cool down. We just had a rain storm, so I’m hoping to put them back outside tomorrow evening. I currently have 1 trying to escape me makeshift cage :rolleyes:

    Fingers crossed. She doesn’t have much energy but she sure is drinking good. But her eating is little. I’ve crushed some pellets and she ate a little bit. But your encouragement makes me hopeful!

    Chickens to hot? One still very sick

    So I ultimately decided to join this forum because I had a recent death with one of my girls :-( I am pretty sure its the heat but it could have possibly been the food they had. I've returned it and got a new bag just in case. But I still have 1 girl who is not doing well so heres where I need...

    I feed them Purina layer pellets. I had to get the organic version back in the second week of August. I just finished up their bag and gave them the organic bag a few days before Tuesday. Not sure if it was the food. Could have been a bad batch. I wasn’t taking chances so I returned it.
