    Sudden death in otherwise healthy chicken?

    So I have a buff Orpington that is a new mama she's got five checks she's very protective and a very good mother. her checks are just now week old and not quite big enough to get up into the coop at night by themselves so last night I went to the coop to pick up the baby chicks and put them up...

    Question about keeping newly hatched chicks with flock.

    This has worked perfectly so far!! She is a good mama the other hens haven't seemed to even care about the chick and if they even look her way she fluffs right up and they turn the other way So glad I did it this way... No work for me... WINNING!

    Thanks KayTee! So do you treat yourself with cream or something? Like I said is wear I feel them but can't see anything and have no noticeable bites. I'm scared I'm going to infest my home!

    I too am having some issues... I have been feeling like something is biting me the last week but I can't see anything. The plums of my hands have been itching however I see no bites. I've been out at the coop a lot lately hand just changed all the bedding in the nests last week (bare handed )...

    Question about keeping newly hatched chicks with flock.

    This is great info! I have a very broody buff Orpington. She's been on the nest for about 5 weeks and I have not been able to keep her off. She is the sweetest hen in my flock and right now she is a little devil! I cant have a rooster so there's no chance those eggs were gonna hatch but she is...
