    Roo or Pullet?

    Hi, I have a Plymouth rock chicken. I thinks he’s a rooster but he’s not crowing like the others and he’s much calmer and is never involved in any of the pecking. I know some hens of this breed have combs and wattles so I’m unsure. What do you think?

    Bleeding chick

    Hi, I noticed my (6 day old) chick has some blood on her wing. I’ve attached a picture. What do you think could be the cause and what should I do? Thanks, Beth

    I went and bought some this morning so the chicks are fine. A quick question though - do you think the pine shavings are too big for the chicks? Thanks, Beth

    Yeah, just paper towels (that got a bit wet under their water). I give them lots of delicious starter feed and instead they eat the paper towels!

    Probably about an hour. I’ve noticed some ripped pieces on the floor so I don’t think they’ve eaten all of it. I’ll go to wilkos first thing and buy both the chick and the bird grit. I’ve put a shelf liner over the kitchen roll so hopefully it shouldn’t be a problem tonight. I actually have pine...

    I’ve had a look online. Amazon can’t deliver until Wednesday but a local pet shop opens tomorrow at 9am. It’s nearly 9pm and pretty much everything is closed. I am just concerned if they’ll be okay until I can go out and buy some tomorrow. Thanks, Beth
