    Judging by their combs they all look like pullets to me.

    Dust bath in the brooder

    Dry it out. Spread it out in a thin layer and wait for it to dry.

    Two sick chicks

    I would recommend Manna Pro chick grit. Read the age guide for the grit. If you get grit, you can either mix it into their food or give it separately.

    Two sick chicks

    https://www.amazon.com/Nutri-Drench-Poultry-Solution-FL-OZ/dp/B00GSOD8KGShe is probably sick. Use nutri drench for extra nutrients. Pick her up and place her next to a small feeder and waterer which are close together so she can eat and drink just by stretching her neck. I don't know what is...

    Hen or Roo? Or too early to tell?

    I'm not sure. Their tails try to convince you that they are roos. Their comb size may mean they are roos too, but it might just be the breed. I have a hen with a LARGE tail and when I say large, I mean it.

    What do you do to keep your flock healthy (mite/lice free)?

    Dust baths are supposed to suffocate mites. If you want to add extra stuff, add diatomaceous dirt (a chemical, so you might not like it), lavender, or some other herbs. Ashes from fires are also good for them.

    How many chickens do you have? The land amount will depend on the chicken amount.
