    Freaking out... Are they all gonna die?

    Freaking out... Are they all gonna die?

    I was about to take all my girls out for a day trip bc it's pretty outside, and I noticed my white leghorn has a serious growth/swelling/something on her right side of her breast! (Left side in the pic) after looking closer, a lot of the girls have them, just not to her extent, so I'm hoping...

    What am I doing wrong?

    The chicks aren't all the same age or size, the first six (white leghorn, Rhode Island Red, black sex star, and 3 Americaunas) were supposedly a week old when I got them but they are all feathered out now except a few tufts of baby fluff left, but the sex star is half the size of the others from...

    Talked to my future father in law, he's gonna let me borrow his big water tank we use to put drinks in at parties.

    What am I doing wrong?

    I'm nervous to break them up bc I've read I'd have to reintroduce them to each other of I did that. I'm expecting them to go outside to the big coop I made in the next two weeks or so.

    What am I doing wrong?

    They are in the biggest tote Walmart had, I could hardly get it in my car to bring it home, and it has slightly less floor space than the cardboard box they were in. But coop is big, I just have more work to do bc the doors don't close right (warped plywood)

    What am I doing wrong?

    No they are a bit crowded in their brooder box, they weren't but as they get bigger it's getting more cramped

    What am I doing wrong?

    And the Wyandottes are so much more standoffish than the others... I tried to pick breeds known to be friendly, Wyandottes, buff orps, Americauna, and lights Brahmas... But I ended up with a white leghorn, Rhode Island Red, and a black sex star too, and the red and leghorn are the least panicked...

    What am I doing wrong?

    There's nothing I can do? They go on full scale freak out when I start to reach into the box, u would think I was a predator :(

    What am I doing wrong?

    My chicks were friendly and ate out of my hand, except the Wyandottes, they have never ate from my hand. Now half of them are big enough they are jumping out of the box and I just had all kinds of trouble catching it. The box is now covered but the chicks are getting way more wild and I'm...
