    Too many roos....Newbie needing advice

    Thank you, Free Feather! I appreciate the compliment. Like I said in my original post, I am new to this so I am still learning. I had never even been around chickens, but I did a lot of reading the year before I got them trying to prepare for them. I love animals and do my best to take care of...

    Too many roos....Newbie needing advice

    Obviously, I am a novice. Please forgive my lack of use of the proper terms. Our thought that we likely have four cockerels is based on many of the signs your pointed out....size and color of comb and waddles. This morning was the very first morning we have heard someone trying to crow although...

    My baby is sick :(

    Hi guys.... I posted on here last week about one of my baby chicks that I'm very concerned about. I listed his symptoms and someone suggested it might be cocciodosis.

    Chick seems ill

    I gave them medicated starter the first couple of weeks, but they are not on it now. I will research cocci and see what I think. Thank you.

    Chick seems ill

    I have 9 Orpington chicks and they are a few weeks old. I have noticed that one seems a little less active than all the rest. He seems like he is always lying down. Even when the others are stepping all over him, he doesn't seem bothered. I don't know if I am overreacting. Maybe he is just a...
