    Starter feed and layer feed in mixed flock

    Hey all, I have three groups of chickens of various ages: 25 weeks, 10 weeks, and 7 weeks. They've all been eating starter feed, but the oldest just started laying. I'd love to put the older ones on layer feed, but they are all together and I've heard that young chickens on layer feed can be...

    4 week chick with wound on back of neck

    Sort of...we have four but due to some loss during a shipment they are a bit different in age so we have them separated (2 and 2). They had a decent size of brooder, but since this started it's cut in half to separate them. I'm can try to put them in a fenced run tomorrow just to give them...

    Thank you! Appreciate the response. As a bit of an update, she's losing more feathers around her neck, as she keeps itching the area. Something I need to worry about? I don't have any vet wrap yet, so I haven't tried this

    4 week chick with wound on back of neck
