    Hello to BYC!

    The baby chick died. It was either too young or too injured to survive. B Y C was great with several posts on other threads that helped us understand the situation. We are getting another brooder today. The chicks are growing so fast that we don't want them to be crowded. We plan on separating...

    One more post: The injured chick died. I did read the thread about the silky with the same type of injury. My bird may have been too young or the wound too severe to survive. Farm Dad takes these things to heart. He feels that we should be able to keep the birds in a way that none of them die...

    Hi! I posted an update on the condition of the injured chick.(Yes! She is still alive!) But I put that post on the thread under our greeting and introduction. I'm still new on B Y C. My son wants to know if the scalped bird will look like a bald eagle if she survives to adulthood? The children...

    Hello to BYC!

    Good evening to all on B Y C! I thought I would let you know that the injured chick seems to be doing fine in spite of being scalped. She's eating, drinking, and trying to escape from her confinement. Farm child 2 can't believe she is still alive. We all flinch when we look at her. Farm child 3...

    Hello to BYC!

    We love that little guy! He took care of each of the injured chicks. We weren.t sure if he was a hen or a roo until we found him fighting with a trouble maker. He still takes care of the hurt chicks. He loves human attention.

    We were hoping to find someone else to caponize the birds. We want to keep one rooster for breeding, but the others we want to capon. We've been looking in our area, but haven't found anyone yet. We want to see someone demonstrate it so we can learn the skill. Next year we'll do it ourselves...

    Raising Jersey Giants

    Our jg's are not a month old yet. We are having trouble with canabalism. We know it is one chick causing the severest injuries. We think he is a male and have separated him. Right now, we have two questions: The aggressive chick is too young to caponize. Do we try to partially de-beak him? We...
