    One of my flock grabbed at a chick

    I only have the one small coop, but I've done a plywood partition for the night in the nesting box. Tomorrow I'm gonna head to the hardware and see if I can swap from a plywood partition to a mesh partition, both for ventilation and so that the two other girls can see but not touch the chicks...

    My favorite chick/chicken got hurt

    If her eye is missing, or still bleeding, or has an open wound in any way, call a vet for sure. One day might still be short enough to treat the injury, but if it has healed up, your girl might be blind in one eye now. Hopefully someone else with more experience can chime in too 🤞

    15 Weeks old, still Pullet?

    My understanding is that at 20 weeks, if that was a cockrel he'd be crowing. One of my girls also had a big boyish tail like that at around that age, and then it fell off and never came back. She's really beefy at 8 months, but has not crowed, or displayed any rooster behaviours or feathering...
